The Illini kept it close most of the game, but could never make a run in the second half, probably due to exhaustion, with their third game in three days.
It took awhile for the Badgers to get their offense going as well, other than Alando Tucker's shooting in the first half.
Warren Carter was about the only player who could create some offense for the Illini today, with most of the others happy to pass up on shots. Very few opportunities to score in the paint, and they did not want to rely on the three point shots either.
The strength of this team is their defense, which held back Wisconsin's offense most of the game, and made for some boring basketball for Billy Packer and the national TV audience.
It will be interesting to see how the brackets line up tomorrow night.
