Fresh off a 3-1 victory over the Purdue Boilermakers, the Wisconsin Badgers are hosting the second of a two-game home stretch with a matchup against the Illinois Fighting Illini on Saturday evening, scheduled for 7 P.M.
Last week, the Badgers set a major record in the Border Battle, shattering the viewership records by attracting 1.66 million viewers on Sunday, well past the 621,000 mark that Wisconsin set in their match against the-now No. 1 Nebraska Cornhuskers in October.
Earlier in the week, the Badgers dropped their first set at the UW Field House over the last few months against Purdue, but ultimately prevailed 3-1, beating another ranked opponent.
