Bucky's 5th Quarter · Dec 8, 2018
What to expect from Marquette vs. Wisconsin
Two prominent in-state programs face off on Saturday afternoon at the brand new Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee as the Marquette Golden Eagles host the Wisconsin Badgers.
Wisconsin (8-1, 2-0 Big Ten), now ranked No. 12 in the latest AP Top 25 poll, pulled off a five-point victory over Rutgers on Tuesday night. That same night, Marquette (7-2, 0-0 Big East) topped UTEP in a 76-69 win at home. On Dec. 1, the Golden Eagles knocked off then-No. 12 Kansas State in a 83-71 victory.
The big name to watch for Marquette is junior guard Markus Howard, who has already scored 37 or more points twice this season through nine games.
