ILLINOIS 49 #5 WISCONSIN 68 F..."A WHOLE Bunch of BADGERS" methodically take apart the Fighting ILLINI as Illinois Native "FRANK the TANK" KAMINSKY treats the BOYS from Champaign-Urbana!..."CAMPUS HARDWOOD" don;t tell me WISCONSIN and KENTUCKY won't see each other in the Final 4...it's going to happen again! #ILLvsWIS #FIghtingILLINI #BADGERNation

Well after a day or so of Wisconsin Lead Man Bo Ryan on that Naismith Hall of Fame List as a finalist to get into the Basketball Mecca the Wisconsin Badgers  slowly and methodically takes apart the Illinois Fighting Illini for a 68-49 "W".

The game was a bit closer than that score indicates but Wisconsin right now is the toast of the Big Ten and has been for some two full calendar years and then some. They took a 32-24 lead controlling the all important "Pace" and followed the lead of their 2015 NBA Lottery Pick Frank Kaminsky.

The former Benet Academy in Lisle, Illinois Star had 23 points and eleven boards as he shoots what the Illini gave him going 11 for 16. PF Nigel Hayes added 14 points with Shooter turned PG Bronson Koenig getting 15 points shooting 3 for 5 from the arc. The Badgers just play their game and until I see a team that cab dictate what the Badgers do you will not beat them period.

The Illini with top flight reinforcements on the way in Plainfield, Illinois East HS Aaron Jordan (Shooter) and SF D.J. Williams (Chicago, Illinois Simeon H.S.) on that 2015 recruiting class among others Illinois' future looks bright.

Meanwhile as for the Illini in this game only two players in Malcolm Hill (15 pts) and DaVonte Rice (10 pts) were the only two Illini Players in double figures. Illinois shot 40% from the field and gave up 15 offensive boards to the bigger Badgers Squad.

 Badgers move to 11-1 in the Big Ten and 23-2 overall. The Illini still in the "March Madness" 65-team field has work to do at 7-6 in the Big 10 and 17-9 overall.
