Marquette, Wisconsin readies for NCAA tournament run

The Wisconsin Badgers and Marquette Golden Eagles have an extra day to get ready for their NCAA first-round games. 

 

The #5 Badgers, who lost to the Purdue Boilermakers in the Big Ten Championship Game, will take on #12 James Madison on Friday evening in Brooklyn in the South Regional at 8:40 p.m.

 

#2 Marquette, who hopefully will have Tyler Kolek back for the tournament, faces off with #15 Western Kentucky on Friday at 1 p.m. in the South Regional.  Kolek has missed the past six games with an oblique injury. 

 

Wisconsin (22-13) will play James Madison for the first time in school history.  On Sunday, the winner will take on #4 Duke or #13 Vermont.  

 

Marquette (25-9) tied for second with Creighton in the Big East behind Connecticut.
