Wisconsin Badgers vs. Illinois Fighting Illini 2019 basketball preview

Fresh off of its victory over now-No. 5 Michigan, the Wisconsin Badgers hope to continue the positive vibes while heading to Champaign to take on Illinois on Wednesday evening.

Illinois (5-13, 1-6 Big Ten) has suffered through a rough 2018-19 campaign so far. Head coach Brad Underwood’s squad picked up its first conference win of the season against Minnesota on Jan. 16 but recently suffered a 95-71 loss at Iowa on Sunday.
