The Michigan Daily--Tuesday, February 10, 1981-Page 9 BADGERS BENEFIT FROM EASY SCHEDULE Wisconsin in race for WCHA title By TOM SHAHEEN Coach Bob Johnson's icers did more *han knock North Dakota out of first place last weekend. The twin victories just may have given Wisconsin the WCHA title - even though the Badgers are currently in second place. "There's no question that Wisconsin is in the driver's seat," said Marshall Johnston, coach of co-leader Denver. "They only have Colorado College, Michigan State and Notre Dame left on WCHA L4Report their schedule." So while Wisconsin is gathering poin- ts at the expense of the division's also- rans, the top teams (Minnesota, Norih Dakota, and Denver) will be busy an- iihilating each other. Which leaves Wisconsin with the pot of gold unless disaster hits Madison, Wisconsin. The picture is also somewhat brighter for Michigan. The sweep of Notre Dame last weekend virtually assured John Giordano's icers of a playoff spot. The Wolverines are only two games out of fourth place, and ,they face seventh place Minnesota-Duluth this weekend. A double victory' by Michigan could put the heat on Michigan Tech and North Dakota down the stretch. Playoff picture Only three weeks remain before the WCHA playoffs begin. The format is as follows: The top eight finishers in the WCHA standings are eligible, with the top four teams designated as home teams.7;he pairings: Team.8 at Team 1, Team 7 at Team 2, Team 6 at Team 3, and Team 5 at Team 4. The team that scores the most goals in a two-game series will move on to the second round. The four first-round winners are then ranked one through four according to their regular-season standings. Team 3 plays at Team 2, and Team 1 hosts Team 4. Again two games are played with the most goals criterion deciding the winner. The two winners meet un- der the same format to decide the WCHA champion. NCAA includes eight The NCAA Championships have been expanded to include eight teams this year - four from the West and four from the East. The first round of the playoffs will be conducted March 20-21 with four teams from the East playing their four Western counterparts - each in a two- game, total goal series. Three clubs will automatically qualify for this quarter- final series - one from the WCHA, one from the Central Collegiate Hockey Association (CCHA),'and one from the Eastern Collegiate Athletic Conference (ECAC). The automatic qualifiers are determined by each individual league. The remaining five teams three from the East and two from the West - will be selected on an at-large basis by the NCAA Ice Hockey Committee, Sports HOCKEY February 13-14 at Minnesota-Duluth F WRESTLING February 14 BALL STATE, 7:30 p.m. February 16 IOWA STATE, 7:30 p.m. F MEN'S BASKETBALL February 12 OHIO STATE, 8:05 p.m., February 14 at Michigan StateF MEN'S INDOOR TRACK February 10 at Michigan State WOMEN'S BASKETBALLF February 10 at Grand Valley which will utilize the following criteria - won and lost records, strength of schedule, eligibility of students for post- season competition, head-to-head competition, post season play if ap- plicable and the depth of personnel, only if all other factors are equal.
