Shining Moments in Badger History: Breaking in Marquette’s Bradley Center

December 16, 2013 By Amy Winder

December 3, 1988.  The Wisconsin Badgers took a perfect 3-0 record into their game against in-state rival Marquette, in the championship game of the First Bank Classic. It was the first time the Badgers had played in the brand-new Bradley Center, and they made the most of it.

“We played…the first game in there. That’s kind of neat,” said team captain and All-American Danny Jones. “And of course we won the tournament, which was really neat. That’s probably the biggest moment that I can remember as far as Wisconsin versus Marquette.”

Idea-2

Jones helped lead the Badgers past Maine in the tournament semifinals, then played a key role in the Badgers’ 70-55 win over Marquette in the championship game. Jones was named the tournament’s most valuable player.

Later in the season, the two teams would meet again — this time in Madison — and the Badgers would come away with another win, 60-51.
