White was in Madison all weekend and had dinner with UW running back Corey Clement. He said he's talked with Clement about preparing for the NFL Scouting Combine that starts later this month.

White noted that he still has not made a decision on whether or not he will visit the White House when the Patriots are invited. Six of his teammates have said they will skip the ceremony.

For now White is just enjoying his time in the spotlight.

"It still feels kind of surreal, almost seems like a regular game, but it wasn't," White said. "I have to sit back and watch the game on TV like a lot of people do just to kind of get a good feel for it. But it still really hasn't sunk in. I don't know when it will actually hit me."

Hayes apologizes for late dunk

One week ago UW fans were irate when Northwestern's Sanjay Lumpkin punctuated the Wildcats' victory over the Badgers with a breakaway dunk in the final seconds.

On Sunday with the Badgers up nine, Nigel Hayes did something similar. He took an outlet pass from Brevin Pritzl and dunked uncontested with 16 seconds remaining.

Hayes said after the game that he didn't realize the shot clock had turned off and apologized to Maryland.
