MILWAUKEE - Justin Lewis scored 18 points and tipped in a buzzer beater to give Marquette a 67-65 victory over No. 4 Wisconsin at Fiserv Forum on Friday night.

D.J. Carton added 12 points and four assists to lead the Golden Eagles (3-1) to their first top-10 victory since 2017. Carton tied the game on a free throw with 0.9 seconds remaining but missed the back end that resulted in Lewis' buzzer beater tip-in.

Fourth-ranked Wisconsin is the highest-ranked foe that the Golden Eagles have defeated since topping then-No. 1 Villanova on Jan. 24, 2017 at the BMO Harris Bradley Center. MU was 2-5 against ranked teams last season.
