Rapid Reaction: Illinois continues winless conference play in blowout loss to Wisconsin

Just when you thought it couldn't get any worse...

The Wisconsin Badgers battered and bruised the Fighting Illini on their way to a huge victory at the Kohl's Center, led by hot shooting guard Brevin Pritzl and potential Big Ten Player of the Year candidate Ethan Happ.

It started with a torrid first half for Wisconsin, as they shot 61% from the floor on its way to 43 first-half points, led by Pritzl with 13 points.

From there it became a balanced offensive effort as four Wisconsin players were in double digits in scoring, including Happ with 16 points and 10 rebounds and freshman Brad Davidson, who led the Badgers with 18.
