John Tanya had a career high 41 points to lead Wisconsin to a 138 victory over number

free throw attempts.

His 21 successful free throw attempts set a school single game record.

Cam Jones scored 18 of his 28 in the second half, and number 15 Marquette held off a late

and 13 lead changes.

that had won its first three games by 30, 34, and 31 points.

Much of the attention surrounding Wisconsin after last season focused on the players who

had left for other Division I programs after AJ Store transferred to Kansas, and three

year starting point guard Chuckie Hepburn headed to Louisville.

It turns out that adding former Colorado State and Missouri guard John Tanya from the transfer

portal could outweigh any of those losses.
