 +===== AP Recap =====
 +MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- Kammron Taylor scored 18 points and Ray Nixon added 15 as Wisconsin dominated in-state rival Marquette 77-63 at the Kohl Center Saturday.
 +
 +
 +The victory was the 100th of Bo Ryan's career at Wisconsin.
 +
 +The Badgers (7-1) have won six of its last eight games against Marquette (6-3), including four straight at home -- but the victories usually haven't come this easily.
 +
 +The Badgers used a 23-10 run late in the first half to take a 44-31 lead into the locker room and they were never really challenged after that.
 +
 +Wisconsin won despite an off game from junior forward Alando Tucker, the team's leading scorer. Tucker scored eight points on 2-of-8 shooting and spent much of the game on the bench in foul trouble.
 +
 +Tucker is playing with a protective face mask, the result of a nasal injury he sustained in the Badgers' lone loss, Nov. 29 at Wake Forest.
 +
 +Steve Novak led Marquette with 14 points and Dominic James added 10.
 +
 +Marquette took a 21-19 lead on sophomore forward Ryan Amoroso's layup at the 9:19 mark, and built a 23-19 lead on Chris Grimm's putback with 8:14 remaining.
 +
 +But the Badgers rallied with a jump shot and a 3-pointer from Tucker, then regained the lead for good at 26-25 lead on Nixon's layup. The Badgers outscored the Golden Eagles 18-6 for the rest of the half and took a 13-point cushion into halftime despite playing the last six minutes without Tucker, who went to the bench with his second foul with 6:08 remaining.
 +
 +Marquette drew within 11 points on a 3-pointer from senior guard Joe Chapman with 3:55 left in the game, but the Badgers drew away on five straight points from junior forward Jason Chappell, who also grabbed nine rebounds.
 +
 +Wisconsin has won 24 straight home games against non-conference opponents and is 62-3 at the Kohl Center under Ryan.
 +
 +Wisconsin leads the all-time series 61-51.

 +====== Golden Eagles will eventually overcome growing pains ======
 +
 +Michael Hunt
 +
 +Madison - The value of the annual Marquette-Wisconsin basketball game is largely for entertainment purposes, because it is the only thing we have in a state without a big-time football rivalry that comes close to approaching the intensity of, say, a Florida-Miami experience.
 +
 +Otherwise, it is rarely a prelude of things to come for the respective teams because the emotional investment required often obscures tendencies. But that wasn't necessarily the case Saturday in the Badgers' no-surprises 77-63 victory at the Kohl Center. From it, there were clues and projections to the Big Ten challenges and Big East travails that lie ahead.
 +
 +Although its young guards struggled in their first real hostile setting, Marquette will be better than expected. Admittedly, expectations were low, Big East gristmill kind of low, trampled-underfoot-and-left-for-the-buzzards kind of low. But since you can win with guards in college basketball, the Golden Eagles will eventually prosper. Not this year, but eventually.
 +
 +The Dominic James-Jerel McNeal-Wesley Matthews freshman troika performed as one might expect in such an environment: a combined 9-of-31 shooting, 12 fouls and nearly half of their team's turnovers. They were schooled by UW's junior / senior backcourt of Ray Nixon and Kammron Taylor (12 of 27, 33 points) and did not communicate well with each other.
 +
 +That will continue to happen when the Golden Eagles get their first taste of the Big East, notably Jan. 3 against Connecticut, but opponents had better get to those three while they can. They're going to be good, especially James, whose quickness and aggressiveness were readily apparent against the Badgers, even if the results were not.
