Wisconsin basketball sets date for home matchup against rival Marquette
The 2025 edition of the I-94 Rivalry between the Wisconsin Badgers and Marquette Golden Eagles in Madison, Wisconsin will be played on Dec. 6. This will be Wisconsin head coach Greg Gard's eleventh game against Marquette and head coach Shaka Smart's fifth against the Badgers. Wisconsin has won four out of its last six matchups against rival Marquette, including three straight from 2021 to 2023. The Golden Eagles beat the Badgers last season 88-74 in Fiserv Forum, during which both teams were ranked in the top-15 of the AP Poll. Wisconsin's non-conference schedule is all but finalized at this point of the summer, with marquee matchups against Marquette at home, BYU in Salt Lake City, Villanova in Milwaukee and Providence in San Diego. Head coach Greg Gard has mentioned numerous times how important a strong non-conference schedule can be for resume building, as well as playing teams similar in competition to teams the Badgers are likely to see in March.

Should the Boston Celtics take Marquette combo guard Kam Jones in the 2025 NBA draft?
Should the Boston Celtics take Marquette combo guard Kam Jones in the 2025 NBA draft? The Celtics have a pair of picks in the 2025 draft, one in the first round at No. 28 overall, and another early in the second round at No. 32 overall. That combination of picks could net them the sort of talent they will need if they do follow through on the rumored direction of dealing away vet guard Jrue Holiday to save money on a potentially historic tax bill. And Cam Jones would be far from the worst gamble for Boston to take with one of those picks to try to shore up their backcourt rotation in the event of a Holiday trade. A 6-foot-4 guard who stepped into a floor general role last season with Marquette and surprised many with his success in it, the 23-year-old prospect is a more known commodity who can likely help the Celtics in his rookie season -- or soon after.
