The Kohl Center

Wisconsin
In 1998 UI's Kevin Turner sunk a spinning, twisting, running bank-shot to send the Illinois-Wisconsin game to overtime, an Illini win. It was Illinois' first game (and only W) at the Kohl Center, since then they've dropped 5 straight. Wisconsin was 2-5 during the first (partial) season of basketball at the Kohl. Today, the Kohl is a Temple of Doom for Badger opponents—Wisconsin has won 38 straight at home, the longest current home win streak in the nation.
