No Dosunmu, no problem.
The Illini were without their All-American for the second straight game and still picked up their second consecutive victory. Illinois (18-6, 14-4 Big Ten) put on a defensive clinic for 37 minutes, holding the Wisconsin Badgers (16-9, 10-8 Big Ten) to just 34.8% shooting for the afternoon as the Illini raced to victory, 74-69, at the Kohl Center on Saturday afternoon in Madison, Wisc.
D’Mitrik Trice scored the last 16 points for the Badgers and spearheaded a 19-8 run that had Wisconsin down one with six seconds remaining, but pairs of Trent Frazier and Jacob Grandison free throws iced it for the Illini.
