Context Clues
Mike Peplowski played for Michigan State (Big 10) from 1989-93.
The opponent is Wisconsin. We can assume this is an MSU home game because MSU is wearing white, the crowd is mostly wearing white, and Wisconsin is wearing the dark color jersey. If that is true, they played 4 times during Peplowski’s 4 seasons on the team:
Thu, Feb 8, 1990 Wisconsin @ Michigan State in the Breslin Student Events Center
Thu, Jan 10, 1991 Wisconsin @ Michigan State in the Breslin Student Events Center
Wed, Feb 12, 1992 Wisconsin @ Michigan State in the Breslin Student Events Center
