Eighteenth-ranked Illinois makes a lot of turnovers and the Badgers don’t. Wisconsin meets the Illini on the road tonight (February 2nd) at 8:00 p-m in a game that will decide who holds sole possession of first place in the Big Ten Conference standings.
The Badgers have won seven of the last eight meetings at the State Farm Center.
Illinois is next-to-last in the conference while committing more than 13 turnovers a game.
Wisconsin is best in the nation at protecting the ball. Badger shooters are heating up from outside the arc, hitting 41 3-pointers in the last five Big Ten games.
They had only 27 in the first five league contests.
Tonight’s game in Champaign Illinois will be aired on 107.9 FM WOMT.
