Brian Mason: 
Today's game carries major significance for both teams, but a win is especially crucial to the Badgers, who need at least one victory this weekend to get to the .500 record that is required for at-large consideration for the NCAA tournament
Thursday November 12, 2009 11:24 Brian Mason
11:25
Brian Mason: 
The Badgers don't absolutely need a win today, but the only other scenario that keeps their NCAA hopes alive is to draw with the Hoosiers and then advance to the semifinals on penalty kicks
Thursday November 12, 2009 11:25 Brian Mason
11:25
Brian Mason: 
Basically, a win would make things easier.

good to know, I'm a big fan of the Badgers and Spartans. Went to high school with Jonny Rzepka, Both Barones, and Matt Cebula...... lets hope I get to watch all of them!

11:33
Brian Mason: 
For the Badgers, the only change is that Austin Spohn will be wearing No. 34 instead of his usual No. 21 because of some uniform issues
Thursday November 12, 2009 11:33 Brian Mason
11:34
Brian Mason: 
Nichols, who missed the Badgers' game against Milwaukee last Thursday, is back in the lineup after sufficient recovery from a high ankle sprain ... he will be an asset for UW in the back
Thursday November 12, 2009 11:34 Brian Mason
11:35
Brian Mason: 
Beyond that, there are only some nagging injuries for the Badgers, with Horwath's sore hamstring the most notable ... Ahlering is likely to keep taking goal kicks today for him

It's been a great outing defensively for the Badgers, because IU has put a ton of pressure on their back line and they have done a really nice job

The Badgers were out-shot in the first half by an 8-3 margin, and Indiana had six corner kicks to UW's 1 ... hopefully UW can put together a more sustained attack in the second period
