MADISON, Wis., Dec. 20 (UPI) -- Alando Tucker scored 12 of his 17 points in the second half Saturday afternoon as 18th-ranked Wisconsin held on for a 63-59 victory over No. 23 Marquette.
Tucker, playing just his second game since missing eight weeks with a broken right foot, scored five points in the final 77 seconds, helping Wisconsin (7-1) post its 19th straight home victory and beat Marquette for the 10th time in the last 11 meetings in Madison.
It marked only the second time in the history of the 110-game series that both teams were ranked.
The Golden Eagles (7-2) opened the game with a 9-0 run, but Wisconsin never trailed after Mike Wilkinson's follow shot snapped a 37-37 tie with 14:23 remaining. Marquette had a chance to tie, but Steve Novak missed an open three-pointer with 11 seconds remaining.
Travis Diener scored 19 points to lead Marquette.
