CHAMPAIGN — There was a celebration before the game Sunday at State Farm Center. Junior Alex Wittinger was honored by Illinois athletic director Josh Whitman for scoring her 1,000th career point last week at Penn State.
But the expected celebration after the game didn't happen. Visiting Wisconsin took care of that.
The Badgers fell behind early in the second half, but rallied for a 70-61 victory over the Illini. Illinois remains winless in the Big Ten, dropping to 0-9 in conference play and 9-14 overall.
Nancy Fahey's first Illinois team has lost 10 in a row.
