Wisconsin: Butch Out as Badgers’ Misfortunes Continue



Butch Out as Badgers’ Misfortunes Continue: Wisconsin starting forward Brian Butch suffered a dislocation and fracture of his right elbow during Wisconsin’s 49-48 loss to Ohio State Sunday and will be out four to six weeks, a potentially season-ending injury. The 6-11 Butch, the Badgers’ third-leading scorer averaging 8.8 points per game and top-rebounder at 5.9 per game, injured the elbow in the first half while trying to brace himself as he fell to the floor. Wisconsin dropped from No. 2 to fifth in the rankings after the loss and may have missed a chance at grabbing one of the top seeds in the upcoming NCAA tournament. [2/28/07]
