Despite some struggles early, the Wisconsin Badgers finished strong in the final 10 minutes of Sunday night’s Big ten battle against the Illinois Fighting Illini and held on for a 69-60 victory.
It was a bounce-back win for the Badgers, who saw their seven-game winning streak come to a close last Thursday at the hands of Michigan State.
Early in the first half, you’d have thought the Badgers were heading for the same fate, as Illinois held a lead for much of the first half, and built a 13-point lead in the second.
Nearly 30 minutes into the game, it was all Illinois.
