The Badgers sit in a virtual tie atop the Big 10 conference and are playing some tough defense. Wisconsin is holding opponents to just 55.4 ppg. The Badgers’ four losses have come against teams that are a combined 82-20, and all are either ranked or have been ranked. Illinois has had no success at all against the teams in the conference with a .500+ record. They stand at 0-6, with an average losing margin of 8.7 ppg. The Illini are one of the worst free-throw shooting teams in the country hitting just 59.9% on the season and those lost points against a team that is hitting 70%+, don't add up to upset here.
