Projected Friday Lineups vs Minnesota State

Thanks to Andy Baggot we've learned that Frankie Simonelli is back with the team after spending a day back at home tending to a family matter. That's great news for the Badgers. It also looks like freshman Joe Faust will replace Eric Springer on the pairing with Simonelli tonight. Additionally, freshman forward Gavin Hartzog will be in the lineup tonight for only the eighth time this season on a wing with Ryan Little and Jefferson Dahl.
