Bierock is where to watch the Wisconsin basketball when they take on Marquette on Sunday Nov. 17.

In lieu of a Green Bay Packers bye week on the same date, it makes the perfect opportunity for a hoops Watch Party for an in-state rivalry.

We’ll have the same food and drink specials we usually do during Badgers football games.

On our menu will be the Tailgate Bierock, stuffed with brats from nearby Beef Butter BBQ, cheese curds from Carr Valley and caraway-seasoned sauerkraut.

Typically the Tailgate Bierock is only available during football games, but an exception will be made for a match-up of two top notch programs from the same state.

As for drink specials, we’ll have bottles of Badger Club Amber by Wisconsin Brewing Company for $3 each and buckets for $12.

At the time of publication, the Marquette Golden Eagles are off to an undefeated start to the season.

Meanwhile, the Badgers’ only loss thus far has been to a ranked opponent on a neutral site.

With Sunday’s game taking place at the Kohl Center in Madison, it should be a charged-up atmosphere for bragging rights.

A battle between programs from the Big Ten and Big East conferences should make for some intriguing storylines.

So make sure to make Bierock the place where to watch Wisconsin basketball on television when they take on Marquette for some pre-Thanksgiving hoops action.

Bierock is located at 2911 N. Sherman Ave., part of the Northside TownCenter, near Warner Park.

On Wisconsin! We are Marquette!
