up and beat Illinois 74-68 in Champaign.

Ben Brust scored 20 points, Frank Kaminsky added 19 and Ryan Evans 15 to keep the Badgers in 5th place in the Big Ten at 6-3.

The Illini have lost 7 of 9 and dropped to 10th place in the Big Ten.

The Badgers (15-7, 6-3 Big Ten) shot under 30 percent for most of the first half and combined with the Illini to score 14 points in the game’s first eight minutes.

The Badgers eventually started to make baskets and the Illini didn’t, at least until it was too late.

Joseph Bertrand’s 17 points led the Illini.

The Badgers didn’t attempt a single free throw in the last game against Ohio State.  Yesterday, they attempted 42 and made 28, both are season highs.

Forward Frank Kaminsky, out for the last three games with an eye injury, was cleared for non-contact work with the Wisconsin Badgers and took

part in shooting drills at the end of practice on Sunday.

Kaminsky isn’t expected to be ready to go on Tuesday when the Badgers (14-6, 5-2 Big Ten) take on 14th ranked Ohio State (15-4, 5-2) in Columbus.

Kaminsky was hurt in the Badgers 64-59 upset win over Indiana in Bloomington.  He was poked in the eye shortly after hitting a pair of key three-point baskets.

Kaminsky is averaging 4.6 points a game this season, shooting 50% from the field and more than 40% from three-point range.  With the Badgers struggling offensively, his offense has been sorely missed.

After Ohio State, the Badgers next play at Illinois on Sunday.
