Marquette 57 Wisconsin 55


Marquette had a 46-32 lead at one time but credit to the Badgers who fought back to tie it at 55 before a Luke Fischer tip-in gave Marquette a late lead that held up in the final :25.

Marquette missed a chance to ice it at the line but a huge offensive rebound all but sealed it. 

Wisconsin has lost 3 non-conference games at home for the first time since 1974-75. It's my suspicion their win over Syracuse won't look that impressive come March. They'll have work to do in the B1G. Bo Ryan needs to find depth fast.

Marquette moved to 67th in KenPom following the win which is only 8th best in the Big East. No, the Big East isn't the best conference but it'll be one of the toughest to navigate. The ten team round robin makes it that more compelling.

Let's finish with some words from Marquette's super frosh Henry Ellenson:
