Badgers get Buckeyes in B1G quarterfinal series
Mark Stewart / Milwaukee Journal Sentinel / USA TODAY NETWORKPlayoff hockey returns to the Kohl Center for the first time in over a decade as the No. 5 Wisconsin Badgers host the Ohio State Buckeyes March 8-10 in a best-of-three series to advance to the B1G semifinals.
Second-seeded Wisconsin (25-9-2 overall, 16-7-1 B1G) ended the regular season with a split against No. 6 Michigan State, who won the B1G regular season with a 5-2 win over the Badgers to open the series.
The quarterfinal against seventh-seeded Ohio State (12-18-4 overall, 3-18-2 B1G) presents an opportunity for the Badgers to wash the bad taste of losing the B1G out of their mouths and get some payback.
