Illinois led by as many as 13 in the first half, but faltered in the second.  The Illini later learned they'd be playing No. 9 seed Michigan Thursday in the Big Ten Tournament.

The Badgers took charge of the game with a 15-2 run.  The Illini never got closer than nine points the rest of the way.

The Illini improve to 4-5 in Big Ten Conference play.  The win comes as two key players - who had suffered injuries - were suspended indefinitely for violating team rules.

A team plagued by injuries fell short in a Saturday loss to the Minnesota Golden Gophers.
