Recruits have been referring to #illini staffer Bob McClain as the OL coach recently. Appears he will get the promotion after one season as an analyst. No official statement from team yet.

The #Illini played well defensively and had chances late, but couldn't pull off the road upset against Wisconsin, reports @mrwagner25 β https://t.co/w1eFrTrwQG pic.twitter.com/XVGGitSHyo

Brad Underwood was quick to praise Peoria native Da'Monte Williams for his step-up efforts against the #Badgers, but nevertheless the #Illini saw their four-game winning streak snapped. Beat writer @srrichey empties his notebook from the Kohl Center. https://t.co/oB00xF2zbT

The Illini looked tougher, but Kohl Center losing streak continues as stars struggle in win-streak-snapping losshttps://t.co/xnL979dS0f
This one is going to hurt for that #Illini locker room. Another one where quite a bit went right but couldn't get it done.

15 in a row for the Badgers in this series.
But Illini certainly a challenger every night, anywhere at this point in Year 2.
