Baseline: Men’s basketball suffers biggest loss to Wisconsin since 1998

MADISON, Wis. — Marquette’s trip west to its in-state rival Sunday did not go so well, losing 77-61 to the Wisconsin Badgers at the Kohl Center. Here’s a quick breakdown of the loss:

Game MVP: The Badgers’ lone senior, Brevin Pritzl, was one of six double-digit scorers for Wisconsin, and he tied for the team lead in points with 15. He shot 4 for 6 from the field and 3 for 4 from the 3-point line, including a couple threes from the corner that got the Kohl Center crowd on its feet.

In addition to his scoring, the 6-foot-3 guard snagged a game-high 13 rebounds, helping him achieve the first double-double of his career.
