While the AP poll might not know it, Illinois is the better team in this game, and this is a bad matchup for the Badgers. Wisconsin is not a good shooting team and instead relies on not turning the ball over to make up for it. Illinois isn't a team that looks to force turnovers on defense, and has enough outstanding perimeter defenders to take away Wisconsin's guards. Also, the Illini have had Andre Curbelo for only six games this season, meaning we've only had a hint of what they look like at full strength. Curbelo will be playing tonight, and he and Kofi Cockburn are a pair I'm not sure Wisconsin has an answer for.
