The Marquette women's basketball team will continue its busy week by renewing its rivalry with Wisconsin, Friday, Dec. 11 at the Al McGuire Center. The 7 p.m. tip-off will air live on Sports32 with Steve "The Homer" True and Kareeda Chones-Aguam calling all of the action.

The Golden Eagles are coming off 65-55 road win over Illinois on Wednesday. Junior guard Angel Robinson led all scorers with 32 points, while Jocelyn Mellen had a big night on the glass pulling down 11 rebounds. Robinson's 32-point effort in the win at Illinois was the third 30-or-more point game of the junior guard's career, and one point shy of matching her single game career-high of 33 points.
Robinson leads the Golden Eagles with 11.4 points per game, while Jessica Pachko continues to be a dominating inside presense for MU posting 10.3 points and team-best 6.8 rebounds per game.
The Badgers stand 7-2 overall following a 70-55 loss at No. 3 Ohio State last Sunday. Alyssa Karel leads Wisconsin with 12.4 points per game, while Tara Steinbauer has contributed 6.6 rebounds per game.
Marquette is 7-9 all-time against Wisconsin and has won four of the last five outings. The Badgers topped the Golden Eagles, 67-48, at the Kohl Center in the two teams' last time out.
