Following a 63-55 win over the Illinois Fighting Illini Sunday night on the road, the Wisconsin basketball team earned its fourth consecutive win and moved above .500 at 5-4 in Big Ten Conference play. That four game win streak wouldn’t have been possible with out several role players stepping into the spotlight and playing tough minutes for Wisconsin.
The Badgers have certainly gotten production out of their stars. Nigel Hayes has scored a combined 98 points in those four victories (24.5 per game) and Ethan Happ is averaging 13.7 points in that same stretch despite scoring just six against Illinois.
