"It's another situation where it's do-or-die, except for after this one there's not going to be another chance," Mike Tisdale added.
Illinois (18-13, 10-8 Big Ten) had opportunities - not just Sunday, but the entire season - and couldn't pull itself out of an early hole. Before another capacity crowd, which witnessed a third straight home loss, Illinois cut a 16-point deficit to five with 7:01 remaining.
Plus, Trevon Hughes and Leuer had four fouls. Weber shouted from the sideline, "This is your chance!" But only the Badgers (23-7, 13-5) took it to heart, closing on a 15-5 run to put an exclamation point on their ninth top-four Big Ten finish in Bo Ryan's nine seasons.
