After a huge win over the Purdue Boilermakers over the weekend, the Wisconsin Badgers followed that up with a dominant 95-74 victory over the Illinois Fighting Illini at the Kohl Center on Tuesday, putting together another strong offensive performance.

It was set to be a high-scoring affair from the beginning, as Wisconsin led 47-41 at halftime before pulling away in the second half, dropping 48 more points in the period.

With the win, Wisconsin improved to 21-5 on the season and 11-4 in conference play, moving up to third in the Big Ten standings after Purdue lost once again on Tuesday.
