Illinois contests shots and is one of the best rebounding teams in college basketball, but this group hasn’t been especially disruptive in turning over opponents. In fact, in the Illini’s two losses, they forced only seven (Alabama) and four turnovers (Northwestern) – their lowest single-game totals of the season. Quick tips: Wisconsin is led by a crafty portal transfer (guard John Tonje) and playing against type, freewheeling more than the usual Greg Gard outfit. Illinois had better beware another Northwestern-style battle – maybe not as physical, but every bit the chess match. Tonje is similar to Illini tormentors such as Nick Martinelli and Adou Thiero – not in body type, but in his ability to get into the paint and draw contact. (And he’s hitting 93.1 percent from the free-throw line.) If Illinois loses the turnover battle, continues to clank free throws and allows the Badgers to hang around, Tonje and a series of solid shooters (such as Max Klesmit) could make them regret it. We just can’t see Ben Humrichous and Will Riley combining for another 1-for-15 showing from 3-point range. Expect the Illini to bite down and bounce UW for the ninth time in a row.
