It's Friday, I'm in Love

The Badger Women are off this weekend, which is fine as a number of them are in Lake Placid for the Four Nations Cup. The Badger Men are hosting my other alma mater this weekend at the Kohl Center.

Badger Men v. Michigan Tech, Fri/Sat 7 PM CST
TV
Friday - none
Saturday - WISC in Madison, WKBT in LaCrosse, Charter Main Street (Channel 87) and Time Warner Cable (Channel 32) in other parts of the state. I guess if you don't live in Madison or Lacrosse and don't have cable, you're SOL. Saturday's game will also be shown tape delay on Wisconsin Public Television.

Video Webcast
Friday - uwbadgers (free)
Saturday - none

Radio
Both nights -- WIBA in Madison, also available on yahoosports ($4.95/mo).
