All-Time Series Dates Back To 1917
Marquette's all-time series with Wisconsin dates back to 1917, with the first meeting coming in just MU's second season of competition.
Wisconsin owns a 67-58 edge in the previous matchups, with each squad enjoying an extended run of success at various points in the series. Â Marquette's best streak came between 1969 and 1984 when the team claimed 15-straight wins and 19-of-21 overall.
MU has met Wisconsin and DePaul more times (125) than any other opponent in program history.
The Golden Eagles have claimed three of the last four overall outings in the annual home-and-home series and have also been victorious in three of their last four visits to the Kohl Center.
In the most recent matchup, Marquette posted a 74-69 home victory in overtime on Dec. 8, 2018. Â Guard Markus Howard led the way with 27 points and forward Ed Morrow blocked a layup by UW's Ethan Happ in the closing seconds of regulation to force overtime.
In the latest trip to Madison, Howard and backcourt mate Andrew Rowsey combined for 47 points and nine 3-pointers in an 82-63 win on Dec. 9, 2017.
Traditionally played prior to Marquette's finals week in December, the matchup has been moved up to accommodate the expanded Big Ten Conference schedule. Â The two programs haven't met in November since the 1997-98 campaign.
Defense, McEwen Help MU Rally Against Purdue
Marquette trailed by as many as 18 points in the first half before rallying to win 65-55 over Purdue, thanks in large part to a strong second half at the defensive end and guard Koby McEwen's production on offense.
The Golden Eagles held the Boilermakers to just 20 percent (5-of-25) shooting following intermission, including a 1-of-10 effort from behind the 3-point line. Â MU also reversed the battle on the boards, allowing just four offensive rebounds on the 20 missed shot attempts after giving up 12 second-chance opportunities in the first half.
Offensively, McEwen did the heavy lifting in the second stanza, outscoring Purdue 18-17 over the course of the final 20 minutes. Â The Toronto, Ontario, native now owns 19 career 20-point games (previous 18 at Utah State). Â He netted 18 of his 23 total points after halftime and also chipped in five rebounds and four assists in 37 minutes of action.
