Marquette to face biggest test yet against rival Wisconsin

The Marquette men’s basketball team’s run of playing cupcake teams will be interrupted Saturday for one of the biggest moments of the season. It’s a game that could be telling in whether the team will head to the big dance for the first time under Steve Wojciechowski.

Forget Grambling State, Jackson State, Maine and San José State. That was all a warmup. It’s Badger week.

Wisconsin, who was ranked in the Associated Press Top 25 at the beginning of the season, has had a bumpy few weeks. The Badgers’ first loss came against Western Illinois, who lost to a lackluster Creighton team by 30 two weeks later.
