Wisconsin Badgers vs. Illinois: Score, starting lineups, updates

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. – The Wisconsin men’s basketball team will arrive at State Farm Arena tonight with a few stripes over their heads.

The Badgers (8-2, 0-1 Big Ten) have lost two straight games since the start of the season, off to their third-best start in program history.

A win tonight would not only get the team back on track, but it would also end a seven-game losing streak from last season and move an eight-game deficit against Illinois.

None of this year’s Badgers were part of a win against Illinois.

Here’s what you need to get ready for tonight’s game.
