It’s Championship Sunday before we get to the Selection Sunday show tonight as the Illini take on Wisconsin at 2:30PM on CBS in front of a national audience. Illinois is looking for their 3rd Big Ten Championship in the past 4 years against a Wisconsin team that has won 3 games in 3 days and took care of Purdue on Saturday. It should be a good one.
The Illini beat Wisconsin in Madison just two weeks ago 91-83 in a game that saw Marcus Domask go for 31 points, 8 rebounds and 3 assists in his homecoming. He gets one more shot to take down the Badgers.
