WHAT IF? The Bucks, who seem to be running out of gas, play host to the Celtics on Sunday. That begs the question once again -- what if Milwaukee had hung on to Ray Allen?

The other question: will the injury to Kevin Garnett allow the Bucks to keep the game close?

TIME TO CHANGE: While Packers fans wait for a free agent signing or a trade to grab the headlines, we at Saturday Scorecard continue to hold our silent vigil in the hope that the NFL will change its outdated overtime setup this off-season.

The coin-flip thing doesn't work for us.

The NFL began playing overtime in 1974. In the first five years, the team that won the coin flip was 15-16-1. Of course, during that span kickoffs were from the 40-yard-line and field goal kickers converted about 62 percent of their attempts.

Now, kickoffs are from the 30 and place-kickers convert nearly 80 percent of their kicks.

Over the past five years, teams that received the ball first in overtime won 62 percent of the time. That's a significant advantage. In 2008, coin flip winners were 11-4-1.

We happen to like the college system, though it probably wouldn't work in the pro format. We thought about a system where both teams are guaranteed one possession in overtime. Or, overtime could be a "first to six" setup.

But, there is a better way.

If the team that receives the kickoff in overtime scores a touchdown, the game is over. If that team scores a field goal, though, it must kick off and the other team gets a chance to score a touchdown and win the game, kick a field goal and tie it or not score and have the game end in a loss.

Basically, the kickers in the pros are so good that you need to devalue the field goal in "sudden death."

BOSTON BOUND: Congratulations to the Wisconsin women's hockey team, which secured a spot in the Froze Four. The Badgers will face Minnesota-Duluth March 20 in Boston.

QUICK HITS: Grafton defeated Durand, 54-52, to win the WIAA Division 2 girls state championship Saturday. The Blackhawks have won the title in 2007 and lost in the semifinal round last year... Thanks to the World Baseball Classic, the current edition of spring training is long enough for a player to get hurt, recover and then get hurt again before opening day. Let's hope that doesn't happen frequently to the Brewers, who are getting Bill Hall on the diamond for the first time this spring....The Wisconsin women's basketball team will find out on Monday where it will be playing in the post season. The 64-team field for the 2009 NCAA Tournament will be announced at 6 p.m. on ESPN. The 48-team field for the 2009 Women's National Invitation Tournament (WNIT) will also be announced shortly after the NCAA field is set.
