MADISON (WITI)-- Sheboygan native, Sam Dekker was huge against Marquette Saturday, leading the Badgers to a 70-64 victory; the first time they've beat Buzz Williams and the Golden Eagles in 3 years.

Dekker picked up his 2nd double-double of his career putting up 20 pounds and grabbed 10 rebounds.

Marquette did put up a fight, the Golden Eagles only trailed 3 at the half and Jamil Wilson lead both teams in scoring with 22 points.  Davante Gardner also had a strong game with 16 off the bench.

The Badgers remain undefeated at 10-0. This is the 2nd best season start in Wisconsin history; during the 1993-94 season they started the season 11-0 under Stu Jackson.
