Illinois coach Brad Underwood had implied after his team's loss to Northwestern last week that he had been too "soft" on his players in practice. This was coming at a time when the Illini were also shooting blanks at both the 3-point and free-throw line.

Kasparas Jakucionis scored a career-high 24 points, Tre White had 23 points and eight rebounds and Kylan Boswell added 19 points and six assists to lead Illinois to an 86-80 win over No. 20 Wisconsin on Tuesday night.

Louisville transfer Tre White went for 23 points, the most of his Illinois career, in the team’s first Big Ten win of the season.
