RECAP: Wisconsin loses third straight in 61-51 loss to Illinois

The Wisconsin Badgers (12-8, 4-6 Big Ten) continued to disappoint, suffering a 61-51 home loss to the Illinois Fighting Illini (15-6, 6-4 Big Ten) on Saturday afternoon.

Following a slow scoring start in the first half where the team shot an abysmal 6/33 from the field, the Badgers went on to lose their sixth game of the last seven.

It did not seem like things could quite possibly get any worse after scoring just 16 points in the first half. However, the Badgers managed to get outscored 22-4 midway through the second half which truly was the nail in the coffin.
