Wisconsin shot 52.3% from the field and 41.7% from 3-point range to dominate the Fighting Illini, who have dealt with illness that could have made them less effective — yet they still encountered a vastly-improved Badgers team since the last one they saw on Dec. 10, 2024, which marked a third-straight loss for Wisconsin.

The Badgers enter their game with Oregon on Saturday fresh off back-to-back wins in which they scored more than 90 points.

The No. 11 Badgers host Oregon at 11 a.m. Saturday in the Kohl Center. Winners of five straight, Wisconsin continues to ascend towards elite status with a few more opportunities for big wins in the final five games of the regular season. It's coming off a win over Illinois, snapping a nine-game losing streak to its conference foe.
