Title: MU - UW top 10 non-conference game

Wisconsin at Marquette, Dec. 9 (ESPN, 2 ET)
"A very underrated in-state rivalry game that very well could be a matchup of top-10 teams. With Greg Oden's status uncertain, Wisconsin, which returns all five starters including possible All-American Alando Tucker, could be the preseason favorite in the Big Ten. Marquette, with its bevy of excellent guards led by super sophomore Dominic James, is expected to make significant noise in the Big East. The afternoon start also gives you the chance to get to Mader's Restaurant for dinner. Mmmm, schnitzel. It's worth noting that Pitt comes calling to Wisconsin a week later, and then Pitt and Marquette get it on twice in Big East play, for some neat triangularization."

Georgetown at Duke on Dec. 2 should be an interesting game, especially if MU and Duke are in the championship game of the CBE.
