Badgers Try To Bounce Back From Lopsided Loss At Purdue

The University of Wisconsin needs a win when struggling Illinois visits the Kohl Center in Madison tonight.  The Badgers are trying to rebound from a disappointing blow-out defeat at Purdue earlier this week.  Although Wisconsin’s record is a sub-par 9-10, five of the losses have come against ranked opponents and the 78-50 defeat by the Boilermakers was the only one that was so one-sided.  Turnovers and 25 percent shooting from outside the arc have hindered the Badgers recently.  The imminent return of point guard D’Mitrik Trice would be a help, but the team hasn’t announced if he is available tonight.
