The Wisconsin Badgers play the Illinois Fighting Illini on Saturday afternoon, and if you’re wondering how you can watch the action live, you’ve come to the right place.
The Badgers are heading on the road to face off against a reeling Illinois Fighting Illini squad, who are coming off a 73-60 upset loss to Northwestern. However, Wisconsin may be missing their leading scorer, Tyler Wahl, after he injured his ankle in the first half against Minnesota on Tuesday night. Wahl has also missed the Badgers’ Thursday practice.
Luckily, Wisconsin can rely on forward Steven Crowl since he has emerged as a consistent playmaker for the Badgers. He has even been their leading scorer over the last three games averaging 19 points per game.
Despite the question marks around the availability of Wahl, it should be a great game to watch as the Badgers will try to knock off another ranked Big Ten team.
