On Twitter on Tuesday, the Badgers announced that they will face the Golden Eagles on Saturday, December 7, 2024 at the Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The date of this match is not known yet. Like last year, the match took place on the first Saturday in December (December 2).

When Wisconsin and Marquette face each other this season, the Golden Eagles could very well find themselves ranked in this matchup, and the Badgers could once again find themselves unranked. The Marquette Golden Eagles have a better coach under Shaka Smart compared to the Wisconsin Badgers under Greg Gard.

On paper, Marquette will have more talent than Wisconsin. but it will be a coin toss game due to the competition on I-94. Some of the key players in the Golden Eagles’ squad next season will be Ben Gold, Kam Jones and Stevie Mitchell. Some of the key players in the Badgers lineup next season will be Steven Crowl, Max Klesmit and transfer Cameron Hunter.
