Coming off of an upset win against No. 6 Baylor, the Marquette men’s basketball team hosted in-state rival Wisconsin Saturday afternoon at Fiserv Forum behind a sold-out crowd.
The Golden Eagles were looking to extend their win streak to four games but came up short in an overtime nailbiter following a dominant first-half performance from the Badgers.
Timely baskets and forced turnovers in overtime helped lead Wisconsin to its first win in Milwaukee since Dec. 10, 2016.
Here is a breakdown of Marquette’s 80-77 loss:
Game MVP:
Sophomore guard Chucky Hepburn shot 100% in the first half and ended the game with 19 points, shooting 5-for-6 from the beyond the arc.
