Wisconsin Men’s Basketball: Badgers outlast in-state rival Marquette in overtime

The Wisconsin Men’s Basketball team picked a huge victory on Saturday by knocking off the Marquette Golden Eagles in overtime.

Last time out, Wisconsin played on of it’s best offensive performances of the season and Saturday that continued as the Badgers came out red hot on the offensive end of the floor. In the first half, the Badgers seemed to hit everything as they knocked down 69% of their shots from the field. A large chunk of that came from Chucky Hepburn who scored 16 in the first twenty. At half, Wisconsin led 41-30.

When Wisconsin came out for the 2nd half they were without the hot hand in Chucky Hepburn who was being treated for an injury.
