It is time once again when for about two and a half hours we, as Wisconsin fans, deeply care about beating Marquette in men’s basketball. The No. 23 Wisconsin Badgers (6-1 overall, 0-0 Big Ten) return home and welcome the Marquette Golden Eagles (7-1 overall, 0-0 Big East) to the Kohl Center.
The Badgers are on a bit of a heater right now, having won four games in a row while earning the Maui Invitational title and clinching the B1G/ACC Challenge for the best conference in the country. Their victory over Houston in the Maui semifinals is one of the best wins of any team in the country and beating Saint Mary’s and Georgia Tech (on the road) ain’t half bad either.
