The Badgers will have Max Klesmit (upper body) back in the lineup Saturday versus Illinois at 2 PM. Klesmit (6.8 PPG) will return after missing two contests following a shot to the face in Wisconsin’s 63-60 win over Penn State on Jan. 17.
With the Badgers’ starting five all in the lineup this year, the team is 12-2, but when one of their pieces have been missing (Wahl for three games, Klesmit for two), the team is 0-5.
In Klesmit’s return, Jordan Davis will return to the bench Saturday after contributing 18 points over the last two contests.
Wisconsin will look to get back into the win column after dropping two games earlier this week and five out of their last six contests.
