For the second time in less than a week, Marquette will face another Big Ten opponent: in-state rivals the Wisconsin Badgers.
“It’s a typical Wisconsin team,” head coach Steve Wojciechowski said. “They are very versatile. With (Nate) Reuvers playing at the five, he presents a difficult matchup because they can space you really at all five positions.”
But Wisconsin head coach Greg Gard does not have All-American forward Ethan Happ, who graduated in 2019. Happ did plenty of damage against the Golden Eagles last season, finishing with a double-double and game-high 34 points and 11 rebounds.
