Momentum changing hands in the second half

As the game takes a turn for the ugly in the second half, it's also taking a turn in the favor of the Badgers.

Marquette now has two of its top defenders in foul trouble — Lazar Hayward still has three and Jerel McNeal just picked up his third defending a Trevon Hughes jump shot 18 feet from the basket.

The Badgers still have the advantage on the offensive boards and are starting to turn Marquette more. Five of Marquette's first nine possessions in the second half resulted in turnovers.

The good news for Marquette fans is that Wisconsin only has a 48-46 lead at this point (14:39 left in the game). But the Badgers seem to be on the verge of a big run.
