Illinois overs have been on an absolute tear, as the Fighting Illini boast one of the most potent offenses in the country but also have a defense that has given up 80 points or more in 6 of its last 7 games. Wisconsin may be a slower team in terms of pace, but even the low-possession games seem to end up high-scoring for Illinois. Wisconsin should not be lacking for urgency as they look to bounce back from a bad road loss at Indiana and hold on to a spot in the top four of the Big Ten for a double-bye in the tournament, so I think the trend continues for Illinois overs this weekend.

Illinois hit the road after winning against Minnesota, 105-97 on Wednesday. The Fighting Illini had a shooting percentage of 55% on two-point shots and 70% from beyond the arc. Wisconsin lost at Indiana 74-70 on Tuesday, shooting just under 31% from three-point land. Despite recording 0 block shots, the Badgers had ten steals. Illinois is ranked 359th in creating turnovers and has a big revenge game against Purdue on deck. Their overall strength of schedule is ranked 46th, but they rank 247th in non-conference action. Wisconsin has played the fifth most demanding schedule overall, including 34th in non-conference games. The Badgers have a home record of 13-2 at Kohl Center this season, losing only to Tennessee and Purdue.
