Wisconsin basketball has been finding itself on the wrong side of history since the start of February.
This time it comes at the hands of the No. 13 Illinois Fighting Illini, who triumphed over the Badgers 91-83 on Saturday afternoon. The game marked Illinois’ fourth consecutive win at the Kohl Center (2020, 2021, 2022, 2023), making it the only program to accomplish that feat.
Wisconsin’s last win over Illinois came on February 18, 2019 when sophomore Brad Davison’s 18 points led the Badgers to a 64-58 victory. Illinois has dominated the series since then, winning seven straight games overall and four straight on the road.
The Kohl Center on January 17, 1998, so there have been plenty of programs to step onto its court. It’s startling to see that Illinois is now the only program to win four straight games on that floor.
Illinois becomes the first program to ever win four consecutive games at Kohl Center (2020, 2021, 2023, 2024). #Illini // #HTTO
