Marquette suffers first loss of 2019 season to in-state rival Wisconsin

Senior guard Markus Howard communicates with redshirt senior guard Sacar Anim in Marquette's 77-61 loss to Wisconsin Nov. 17 at the Kohl Center.

For the first time since 2013, Wisconsin defeated Marquette 776-1 at the Kohl Center Sunday afternoon.

“It’s always good to beat in-state teams, especially Marquette. It’s a very big rivalry,” Wisconsin guard Brevin Pritzl said. “It was just really good to see us come out and execute everything.”

Other than senior guard Markus Howard, who had 16 of Marquette’s 29 points, there was not much going for the Golden Eagles’ offense in the first half.
