- | |||
- | 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. | ||
- | |||

- | |||
- | On Saturday, Nixon finally had his Marquette moment. | ||
- | |||
- | Nixon set collegiate highs for scoring (15 points), minutes played (32), steals (three), field goals (six) and field-goal attempts (10) in helping Wisconsin (7-1) score a 77-63 victory over Marquette (6-3) in front of a sellout crowd of 17,142 at the Kohl Center. It was coach Bo Ryan's 100th victory as Wisconsin coach. | ||
- | |||
- | Junior guard Kammron Taylor led the Badgers with 18 points, but it was Nixon who stole the show. He nailed his usual three-pointers but displayed two little-used aspects of his repertoire by putting the ball on the floor and pulling up for short jumpers or driving all the way to the basket. | ||
- | |||
- | "Ray Nixon did what seniors do," Marquette coach Tom Crean said. | ||
- | |||
- | Specifically he kept the Badgers close when Alando Tucker and Taylor started to slow and helped offset a quiet scoring day from forward Brian Butch (four points). Nixon scored his nine first-half points during the first 15 minutes, when Tucker and Taylor, the Badgers' | ||

- | |||
- | Taylor scored nine of his 11 first-half points during the final 5 minutes of the half. | ||
- | |||
- | Chappell, who finished with 10 points, nine rebounds and a team-high three assists, found Greg Stiemsma for a basket in the lane that gave Wisconsin a 33-27 lead with 3:43 left and completed a three-point play that pushed the UW lead to 39-31 with 2:07 left. | ||

- | The way Crean saw it, the Golden Eagles' | ||
- | |||
- | "We didn't have any ball pressure, we gave them layups and we settled for jump shots," | ||
- | |||
- | Senior forward Steve Novak led the Golden Eagles with 14 points and eight rebounds. Freshman point guard Dominic James added 10 points, eight rebounds and eight assists. | ||

- | However, the Golden Eagles' | ||
- | |||
- | During the game's all-important run, Wisconsin made 10 of 12 shots and scored on nine of its 11 possessions. Marquette was 2 for 9 during that stretch. | ||
- | |||
- | "We were able to get points. They were coming up dry. It wasn't anything special, anything different," | ||
- | |||
- | With the exception of a 1-minute stretch early in the second half, Wisconsin led by double digits the rest of the game. | ||
- | |||
- | Nixon finished strong, too. Often he has started games fast but been quiet in the second half of games. | ||
- | |||
- | In the second half Saturday, he added a three-pointer and a jumper just inside the arc that gave the Badgers their largest lead of the night, 58-41, with 11:57 to play. | ||
- | |||
- | It capped a day Nixon hopes springs him to a strong finish to his final season as a Badger. | ||

- | 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' | ||
- | |||
- | 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: | ||
- | |||
- | That will continue to happen when the Golden Eagles get their first taste of the Big East, notably Jan. 3 against Connecticut, | ||
