After going 8-0 to start the season, climbing up to No. 11 in the AP poll, the Wisconsin Badgers men's basketball team has come back down to earth a bit. Greg Gard and Co. have suffered back-to-back losses to Michigan and Marquette.
Because of that, the Badgers took a tumble in the polls, as they're now ranked the No. 20 team in the country. Head coach Greg Gard has been disappointed with the results, but he knows there's no time for his team to feel sorry for themselves, especially with a tough game at Illinois on Tuesday night. We've got you covered in this piece with TV and streaming information for the action.

What time do Wisconsin and Illinois play tonight?
It's a bit of a late start for No. 20 Wisconsin vs. Illinois on Tuesday night, with tip-off scheduled for 8 p.m. CT.
Wisconsin and Greg Gard need to get back on track ASAP
It's far too early in the campaign to call this a must-win game for the Badgers, but this team sure needs a confidence boost. The loss to Michigan was a setback, while the defeat at Marquette was disheartening, especially with UW holding a lead at halftime.
Playing at Illinois is never easy, but Wisconsin will be relying on John Tonje and John Blackwell to deliver on Tuesday night. Those two will need to be at their best to help prevent the Badgers from posting a three-game skid.
