Since the 2020-21 season, Brad Underwood is 39-8 after a loss and this year those bounce back spots have included a 43-point win against Missouri, a 13-point win against Tennessee and a 40-point win against Long Island. There’s also a bit of a revenge angle after Wisconsin caught Illinois in a hangover post-Michigan State one year ago in Madison, and the more tangible matchup-focused edge for Keaton Wagler against a Badgers defense with a few weak links. Playing at home in Champaign, there's a chance Illinois could work out some frustration from the weekend defeat and in a return-to-form runaway win.
