SAID ALSALAH/Daily
Senior Billy Sauer saved all 14 shots he faced in Saturday's 4-0 win against Ferris State, conipleting the sweep of the Bulldogs.
Sauer has strong Senior Night
By CHRIS MESZAROS
Daily Sports Writer
BIG RAPIDS - For a player who
will finish his career third among
Michigan goaltenders in total wins
and total shutouts, it was a fitting
way to finish.
But for senior goaltender Billy
Sauer, who had
his most disap- NOTEBOOK
pointing season
this year, it simply felt good to end
Senior Night with a win.
The senior finished the regular
season with a 4-0 shutout over Fer-
ris State at Yost Ice Arena on Satur-
day. Now with eight shutouts, Sauer
sits behind just Josh Blackburn
(1998-2002) and Al Montoya (2002-
2005) on the Wolverines' all-time
shutout list.
Sauer was at his best in Satur-
day's second stanza. Ferris State's
Casey Hines launched a slapshot
from the blueline through traffic,
but Sauer crouched low enough to
see past the Ferris State screen and
reached out to make the glove save.
Later in the period, Sauer faced
an oncoming breakaway attempt
from Bulldog forward Mike
Embach, who broke away from the
Michigan defense at the blueline
and fired a wrist shot that Sauer
saved with his left pad.
"To have Billy Sauer come in
and get a shutout, that's terrific,"
Michigan coach Red Berenson said.
"Good for our team, good for our
seniors."
And it has certainly been a rough
season for Sauer. He split time with
sophomore goalie Bryan Hogan
until Hogan received the starting
job after the November 21-22 series
against Miami (Ohio) series.
Earlier in the season, Sauer
received little goal support com-
pared to his sophomore counter-
part. The Wolverines have been
shut out three times with Sauer
in net and just once with Hogan.
But lately, Sauer has received the
support needed to win, with the
Wolverines scoring four goals in
both of his last two games, against
Nebraska-Omaha and Ferris State.
He has won all three of his starts
this semester.
BULLDOG BRAWL: At the end of
Saturday's second period, two Wol-
verines saw their Senior Night end
a little early.
During the second period, senior
forward Tim Miller tried to jar a
puck loose from FerrisState goalie
Taylor Nelson, upsetting the Bull-
dogs. And the jawing continued
after the second-period buzzer
sounded. The teams met around
center ice, and the action started.
Sophomore defenseman Chad
Langlais was checked from behind
by Bulldog forward Mike Embach
and senior forward Travis Turnbull
looked to retaliate. He went over to
the Ferris State bench where the
pair started trash talking each other
and other. Both Miller and Turnbull
received game misconducts.
"Turnbull and Miller got to rest
in the third period," Berenson said
jokingly. "You notice how during
the (senior) introductions, Miller
goes straight to the penalty box and
shakes hands with the penalty box
keepers because he knows them
better than anybody else."
GLENDENING'S TOP-LINE PRO-
MOTION: Freshman Luke Glenden-
ingwasn't expected to be the biggest
contributor in this year's freshman
class. But his last few weeks of play
earned him a spot in the top line Sat-
urday after fellow freshman David
Wohlberg was scratched.
Glendening scored two goals in
Michigan's comeback 4-2 win over
Nebraska-Omaha on Feb. 14 and
has tallied five goals since January.
"Luke can play with anyone,"
Berenson said. "I think he's a good,
solid player and adds something
with anyone he plays with. He just
works hard. You watch him coming
back, his second effort is defensive.
He just plays strong."

BURSTING THE BUBBLE
Michigan men's basketball fans have been obsessing over the
proverbial NCAA Tournament Bubble to see where the Wolverines
stand. To make it easier on you, here's a list of must-see games:
KANSAS STATE ATOKLAHOMA
STATE, TUESDAY AT 7:30 P.M.
Root for: Oklahoma State
Both of these teams were fea-
tured on this week's "Bubble
Watch" on ESPN, so Michigan
fans should watch. this gameF
with a very vested interest. The
Wildcats appear to be on the out-
side looking in, with a terrible
strength of schedule (98) and
subpar RPI (73), but another win
would certainly help. Since the
Cowboys are probably already in
the tournament, the Wolverine
faithful will want to see them 7RLiN WAGNtR/
bury Kansas State on Tuesday. JuniorDenis Clemente, a Puerto Rico native, is averaging over 15 points per game.
NO.10 WAKE FOREST AT MARYLAND, TUESDAY AT 9 P.M.
Root for: Wake Forest
On Feb. 21, Maryland guard Greivis Vasquez had the game of his life. Against then-No. 3 North Carolina
Vasquez had the first Terrapin triple-double since 1987 while scoring a career-high 35 points. His effort was
just enough to topple the Tar Heels in overtime and start some serious NCAA Tournament buzz for the Ter-
rapins. Right now, Maryland is right on the bubble, but beating No. 10 Wake Forest tonight would almost
certainly getcthem in. This is Maryland's last shot at a big win before the ACC Tournament, so Michigan needs
Wake Forest to win.
NO. 2 NORTH CAROLINA AT
VIRGINIA TECH, WEDNESDAY
AT 7:00 P.M.
Root for: North Carolina
All season, the Hokies have not
quite been good enough to reach
"elite" status. They have seven
losses of four points or less. Like
Michigan, Virginia Tech has been
on the bubble as of late, and it
definitely needs one more quality
win to make the NCAA Tourna-
ment. North Carolina can keep
the Hokies out of the tournament,
and you'd be fool to say the Tar
Heels aren't a lock for the Big
DON PETESEN/AP Dance. Suck it up and root for the
Sophomore Terrell Bell and the Hokies can turn some heads with a win this week. top dog.
WISCONSIN AT MINNESOTA, WEDNESDAY AT 8:30 P.M.
Root for: Wisconsin
One month ago, after six straight Badger losses, this game would have mant much more to Wisconsin than
Minnesota. But after the Badgers reeled off five straight wins in February, including victories against Illi-
nois, Penn State and Ohio State, Wisconsin is sitting pretty leading up to the NCAA Tournament. The Golden
Gophers have lost five of their last seven and need to win one of its last two games to finish .500 in conference
play. The Wolverines want Wisconsin to win because they need to finish above Minnesota in the Big Ten stand-
ings.
PROVIDENCE AT NO.16 VILLANOVA, THURSDAY AT 7:00 P.M.
Root for: Villanova
Providence's tournament hopes looked pretty bleak after losses to Louisville and Ntre Dame. But last
week, the Friars catapulted their way back onto the bubble with their 81-73 upset over then-No. 1 Pittsburgh.
It was the quality conference win Providence had been struggling to get all season. The Friars have one more
shot Thursday night in their regular-season finale. If they beat Villanova on the road, they are probably in.
Michigan wants a Wildcat win. That would put pressure on Providence to pull off some upsets in the BiguEast
Tournament in order to earna tournament spot.
NO. 23 ILLINOIS AT PENN
STATE, THURSDAY AT 9:00
P.M.
Root for: Illinois
Why are you hearing about
Penn State? he Nittany Lions are
tied for fourth place in the Big Ten
and 1.5 games ahead of Michigan.
You'd think Penn State is a lock,
but its lousy strength of sched-
ule rating can hold it back from
an at-large bid. Penn State has
wins against Purdue and Michi-
gan State boost its tournament
resum, but not much else helps.
If the Nittany Lions win, they
will distance themselves from

that to happen.
CALIFORNIA AT ARIZONA, THURSDAY AT 10:30 P.M.
Root for: California
Both Arizona and California failed to cash in on what would have been quality resum6-building wins Sat-
urday. The Wildcats let a halftime lead slip away at then-No. 21 Washington and California held a lead heading
into the final 10 minutes before falling to then-19 UCLA. Both losses gave Michigan a boost on the bubble.
But on Thursday night, the Wolverines want Laval Lucas-Ferry's former teammates at Arizona to lose. The
Golden Bears are in a pretty solid position and will probably make the tournament. The Wildcats chances are
more shaky, and a loss Thursday would be their fourth in a row
KENTUCKY AT FLORIDA,
SATURDAY AT 2 P.M.
Root for: Florida
This is potentially a lose-lose
situation for the Wolverines. r
Both the Gators and the Wild-
cats are on the fringes of the
bubble, and a 'W' will benefit
either team. But Florida is a little
closer to clinching a spot in the
Big Dance. Kentucky (66th in
the RPI) would gain more from
a win in this game, so Michigan
fans should be rooting for the
Gators on Saturday.

Junior Jodie Meeks dropped 54 points in a single game earlier this year.

For Wednesday, March 4,.2009
ARIES
(March 21 to April 19)
This could be an accident-prone day.
Be careful driving and walking. Your
daily schedule will be interrupted in
some way, possibly by meeting unex-
pected people.
TAURUS
(April 20to May 20)
Keep an eye on your money today.
You might find money; you might lose
money. Something unpredictable about
your cash flow could occur. Protect your
possessions against minor breakages.
GEMINI
(May 21 to June 20)
You feel rebellious and highly inde-
pendent today. Anything could happen.
You will likely act spontaneously on any
whim that you have. You want to please
yourself.
CANCER
(June 21to July 22)
Today you might feel restless and a bit
at loose ends. Don't worry about this,
because it's a passing thing - gone by
tomorrow. It's almost as if there's too
mach electricity in the air
LEO
(July 23 to Aug. 22)
A friend will surprise you today.
Alternatively, you might meet somebody,
new who is a real character or quite
unorthodox or bizarre in some way.
(Interesting!)
VIRGO
(Aug. 23 to Sept. 22)
You don't want to be told what to do
today. You feel rebellious and independ-
ent, especially with authority figures,
teachers, parents and bosses. Expect the
unexpected!
LIBRA
(Sept. 23 to Oct. 22)
You need a change of scenery. You
want to do something different, and you
also want to learn something new.
Because you're easily bored today,
you're up for something new.
SCORPIO.
(Oct. 23 to Nov. 21)
Unexpected gifts and goodies might
come your way today. Conversely,
something you were expecting from
someone might not materialize. Dealing
with the wealth of others is unpre-
dictable.
SAGITTARIUS
(Nov. 22 to Dec. 21)
Partners and close friends are hard to
predict today. They might demand more
space or stand up to you in some way
that's surprising. (You need this like a
fish needs a bicycle.)
CAPRICORN
(Dec. 22 to Jan. 19)
Interruptions and delays at work are
likely today due to computer crashes,
power outages, fire drills, staff shortages
and unexpected events. Just hang in
there.
AQUARIUS
(Jan. 20 tI Feb. 18)
Surprise flirtitions might be very
exciting today. Parents should be extra
vigilant about children in their care
because this isnan accident-prone day for
your kids.
PISCES
(Feb. 19 to March 20)
Guard against breakages at home.
Interruptions to your domestic routine
are likely. Surprise company could drop
byor expected company might be a no-
show.
YOU BORN TODAY Many of you
choose to work alone because you prefer
it. You want to be productive; in addition
to this, you're a very caring, responsible
person. You're talented at creating a
home or a comfortable place for yourself
and others. Positive feedback from oth-
ers is meaningful to you. Something
you've been involved with for about
nine years will end or diminish this year.
