Where Wisconsin ranks in KenPom, ESPN’s BPI after win over Marquette

Wisconsin basketball added an important tally to the win column on Saturday afternoon, as it defeated Marquette 96-76.

The game’s final score tells an accurate story. The Badgers controlled the contest from the start, leading by double-digits for the final 26-plus minutes of game time. Star guard John Blackwell led that effort, tallying 30 points and three assists while shooting 8-of-17 from the floor, 6-of-12 from 3 and 8-of-10 from the free-throw line.
