Since defeating Ohio State, Bruce Weber's Illinois team has lost at Penn State and at home to Wisconsin.

The Badgers defeated Illinois on Sunday by a final score of 67-53.

Wisconsin guard Josh Gasser drew the assignment of controlling Brandon Paul, and was effective. Paul was 3-of-11 from the field, including missing two 3-point attempts.

"(Paul) has probably been the best player in the league the last couple of games," Jordan Taylor said. "Josh did a great job of coming in and slowing him down."
