As we may have mentioned in multiple places already...not much went right for the No. 19 Wisconsin Badgers (14-6 overall, 8-5 Big Ten) against No. 12 Illinois Fighting Illini (13-5 overall, 9-3 Big Ten) on Saturday afternoon in Champaign, Ill. The Badgers lost 75-60 and, despite a few runs that cut the lead to seven in the second half, it never really felt a lot closer than that.
The Badgers lost the first 10 minutes of the game 18-12 and, as has been the case in most of their losses this year, that led to them losing the game in the end.
