Player of the game
Wisconsin’s Ethan Happ
The Illinois native put up 16 points and 10 rebounds, but it was his passing that also helped carve up the Illini. The Badgers’ forward led Wisconsin with five assists.

Wisconsin: A
The Illini had enough trouble trying to slow down Brevin Pritzl and Khalil Iverson. Even early foul trouble for Brad Davison didn’t stop him from making it three guards the Illini didn’t stop.

Even Leron Black’s hyper efficient night on the offensive end couldn’t help the Illini. The redshirt junior forward finished 7 of 9 from the field and led the team with 16 points.
