It's James and Marquette

For the second straight season, the visiting team won in the Marquette-Wisconsin rivalry.

Junior guard Dominic James poured in 20 points while Wes Matthews and Dwight Burke came through with some key rebounds down the stretch as the Eagles held on for a 81-76 victory. James put an exclamation point on the victory with an emphatic block of an attempted layup by Trevon Hughes.

The victory is the first for Marquette in the Kohl Center. The Eagles last won in Madison in November of 1997.

I'll have some postgame reaction later tonight and look for more coverage in tomorrow's Leader-Telegram.
