Wisconsin Badgers vs. Illinois Fighting Illini: Game Thread
Kayla Wolf-USA TODAY SportsThe Wisconsin Badgers are set to face off against the Illinois Fighting Illini on Sunday in the finals of the Big Ten Tournament, with tip-off scheduled for 2:30 P.M.
Wisconsin started off their tournament experience with a strong 87-56 win over the Maryland Terrapins on Thursday, finishing with their most points ever in a Big Ten Tournament game.
Then, they played in a much closer contest on Friday, but ultimately defeated the Northwestern Wildcats 71-60 to advance to the semifinals.
Saturday’s game, however, was the cherry on top, as Wisconsin pulled off a 76-75 overtime victory over the Purdue Boilermakers, getting their revenge, and moving forward to the finals.
