After a slow start, the Marquette Golden Eagles poured it on in the second quarter on Monday night and cruised to a 23-point victory over the Wisconsin Badgers, winning 88-65. Natisha Hiedeman probably saw the prediction I made and said, “yeah, right we can do better than that.” She had a team high 26 points on 9-of-16 shooting leading the Golden Eagles to victory. Marquette now improves to 4-3 on the season.
There’s no better way to tip-off Badger Hate Week than a 23-point victory over your biggest rival. Hiedeman clearly reads my previews and saw that I predicted her to step it up.
