There are games in the I-94 rivalry that feel like momentum swings for the in-state programs. Then there are games like Saturday at the Kohl Center, where the Wisconsin men’s basketball team spent 40 minutes reminding everyone why the road to bragging rights still runs through Madison.
The Badgers didn’t just beat Marquette. They handled them from the moment the ball went up, rolled through every counterpunch, and walked out of the building with a convincing 96–76 win over the Golden Eagles.
They’re now 7–2 on the season, unbeaten at home (6-0), and still haven’t dropped a home game to Marquette since 2017.
