One of the most historic basketball rivalries in the state of Wisconsin went down Friday night. No. 4 Wisconsin (3-1, 0-0 Big Ten) was handed their first loss of the season against Marquette (3-1, 0-0 Big East) in what turned out to be a gritty rivalry game. Wisconsin and Marquette had split the last ten meetings, but Marquette broke the tie with their 67–65 win.
Both teams got out to a slow start shooting the ball in the first half. The Badgers were just 11-for-31 from the field while Marquette shot the ball only 9-for-22 from the floor in the first half.
