The Wisconsin Badgers were able to beat their in-state rivals, the Marquette Golden Eagles, 80-77 in overtime at the Fiserv Forum. They were led by a heroic performance from point guard Chucky Hepburn.
Hepburn played with an injury throughout the game and missed a portion of the second half in the locker room. He led the Badgers in scoring for the third straight game, finishing with 19 points. Forward Tyler Wahl helped to slow down the Golden Eagles’ offense and also had 15 points, seven rebounds, two steals and a block.
This non-conference win is good for the Badgers’ national ranking and gives them momentum heading into their first Big Ten game of the season against No. 22-ranked Maryland.
