Wisconsin men’s basketball: shorthanded Badgers withstand Illinois State

MADISON — After a two-week hiatus, the No. 24 Wisconsin Badgers men’s basketball team (10-2 overall, 1-1 Big Ten) was finally back in action on Wednesday night against Illinois State (8-6 overall, 1-0 Missouri Valley).

Despite being down five players, the short-handed Badgers were able to take care of business against ISU and secure a narrow four-point win.

Game over.

It wasn't pretty, but the #Badgers notch their 10th win of the season with an 89-85 win over Illinois State.

Johnny Davis and Steven Crowl (career-high) both with 20+ points in the win.
