Last season, the Wisconsin Badgers beat the Marquette Golden Eagles 75-64 in Madison, Wisconsin. At the time of that matchup, Wisconsin was unranked and Marquette was the third-ranked team in college basketball. The upset win for the Badgers over the Golden Eagles came as a major surprise at the time.
Last year, the Wisconsin Badgers finished with a 22-14 overall record and the Marquette Golden Eagles finished with a 23-8 record. Marquette was a two-seed in the NCAA Tournament and Wisconsin was a five-seed in the NCAA Tournament.
Marquette Golden Eagles and Wisconsin Badgers Game Date Announced For the 2024 Season
On the Badgers’ Twitter page, they announced on Tuesday that they will face the Golden Eagles on Saturday, December 7, 2024, at Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The time for that game has yet to be announced. Just like last year, the game was played on the first Saturday of December (2nd).
When Wisconsin and Marquette face each other this season, the Golden Eagles can very well be ranked for this matchup and the Badgers can very well be unranked once again. The Marquette Golden Eagles have a superior coach led by Shaka Smart compared to the Wisconsin Badgers with Greg Gard.
On paper, Marquette will have more talent than Wisconsin. but this will be a coin-flip game because of the I-94 rivalry. Some of the key players on the Golden Eagles roster next season will be Ben Gold, Kam Jones, and Stevie Mitchell. Some of the key players on the Badgers roster next season will be Steven Crowl, Max Klesmit, and transfer Cameron Hunter.

These were some interesting sayings by the fanbases of both Wisconsin and Marquette. The fact that one fan thinks that the Badgers will beat the Golden Eagles easily on the road is a bold statement. Entering the 2024-2025 season, there will not be many questions about Marquette.
There will be many more questions about Wisconsin entering 2024-2025. This is a college basketball game that both fanbases love to get up for every single year. It should be another fun game when it happens sometime in December because it is always an interesting in-state rivalry game.
