The Wisconsin Badgers pulled off a huge upset on Saturday night, defeating the No. 3 ranked Marquette Golden Eagles 75-64. The Badgers were led by freshman forward Tyler Klesmit, who scored a career-high 22 points and grabbed nine rebounds.
Klesmit got off to a fast start, scoring eight points in the first five minutes of the game. He was able to use his size and athleticism to get to the basket and draw fouls, going 8-for-8 from the free throw line. Klesmit also grabbed five rebounds in the first half, helping the Badgers to a 34-29 lead at halftime.
The Badgers continued to dominate in the second half, outscoring the Golden Eagles 41-35. Klesmit scored 14 points in the second half, and his nine rebounds were key in helping Wisconsin outrebound Marquette 37-27. The Badgers also had a strong performance from senior guard Brad Davison, who scored 17 points and dished out seven assists.
The win was a huge upset for the Badgers, as Marquette had been undefeated in Big East play coming into the game. It was also a big win for Klesmit, who has been a key contributor for Wisconsin all season. His 22 points and nine rebounds were instrumental in helping the Badgers pull off the upset.
The win was a great team effort for Wisconsin, and it showed that they are capable of competing with some of the best teams in the country. With Klesmit leading the way, the Badgers have a chance to make some noise in the Big Ten this season.
