Knocking off a top-five team, as well as an in-state rival, gave No. 23 Wisconsin a huge boost going into its Big Ten opener. The Badgers upset No. 3 Marquette 75-64 on Saturday for their fifth straight victory. Now they will play Michigan State on Tuesday at East Lansing, Mich. Max Klesmit sparked the win over Marquette by scoring all of his 21 points in the first half. Wisconsin led by 13 at the break and never trailed. The Badgers rode the victory into the latest Top 25 poll. Michigan State (4-3) has played only one game since Thanksgiving, an 86-55 romp over winless Georgia Southern on Tuesday. The Spartans now play two Big Ten games before closing out the month with nonconference matchups. The Spartans won the lone meeting with the Badgers last season 69-65, and we think the Badgers have revenge from that loss as the boosters will remind them of that, and we like Wisconson to hang tough here.
