Wisconsin basketball lost its seventh game in nine tries Saturday afternoon, this one a 91-83 home defeat to the No. 13 Illinois Fighting Illini.
The Badgers came out of the gates hot, signaling a possible change from the team’s form during the losing skid. But the game soon became a sprint, one Wisconsin lost because of its inability to get key stops on defense.

Tyler Wahl led the way for the Badgers with 20 points on 9 of 14 shooting. He was no match for Marcus Domask, who finished with 31 points, eight rebounds and three assists.
It’s safe to say Wisconsin fans are not happy after the loss. I’d describe the mood as despondent as the Badgers continue their tumble toward the middle of the Big Ten.
