Wisconsin vs. Marquette CBB Prediction:

Marquette is due for a win in this hotly contested in-state rivalry. Wisconsin is 4-1 straight up and 4-1 against the spread in the last 5 meetings between these two teams. But Marquette’s star guard Kam Jones came back to school for his senior year in 2024. He hasn’t beaten Wisconsin in his collegiate career. 

Jones is in the midst of a monster year. The Memphis native is averaging 19.0 points, 5.0 rebounds, 6.6 assists, and 1.4 steals per game while shooting 58.8% from the field and 42.1% from three-point range this season. The Golden Eagles have two additional seniors (David Joplin and Stevie Mitchell) who are both averaging over 11 points per game as well. They’ve never beaten Wisconsin either. Marquette will have this game at home, and they will have the extra motivation to finally get the monkey off their backs. I’m laying the points with the Golden Eagles in this one. 

Wisconsin vs. Marquette CBB Prediction: MARQUETTE GOLDEN EAGLES -6.5
