(LEARFIELD) – For the first time in seven years, the Wisconsin men’s hockey team will play in the NCAA Tournament.
Badgers coach Tony Granato on the team’s first NCAA tournament bid in 7 years.
Granato talked about the strength of the Big Ten with four teams making the tournament field.
The Badgers went just 5-4-1 in the first half of the season but Granato felt like the team would still make the tournament.
The Big Ten regular season champions earned the #1 seed in the Bridgeport, Conn. regional and will play Bemidji State in the opening round at noon on Friday.
If the Badgers win, they’ll face the winner of U-Mass or Lake Superior State on Saturday at 3 p.m. for a trip to the Frozen Four April 8th and 10th in Pittsburgh.
