Brad Davison scored 18 points, Khalil Iverson added 16 and No. 22 Wisconsin held off Illinois 64-58 on Monday night.
The Badgers (18-8, 10-5 Big Ten) ground out a win over Illinois (10-16, 6-9) with leading scorer Ethan Happ on the bench down the stretch.
Happ, who averages 18 points, scored just six points on 3-of-7 shooting, was 0 for 3 from the foul line and had three turnovers, including one just before he sat out the final minutes. He also has proven a liability from the line in crunch time in past games, shooting less than 45 percent from the line.
But Davison led the Badgers down the stretch. His short jumper put the Badgers up 54-52 with 3:21 left, giving them the lead for good. After Iverson blocked Giorgi Bezhanishvili, Davison collected the loose ball to take it in for a layup and a 56-52 lead with 2:45 to go.
From there the teams traded blows until Nate Reuvers’ putback dunk on a missed 3 gave Wisconsin a 62-58 lead. Iverson then stole the ball on the next Illinois possession, helping put away the game.
Wisconsin travels to Northwestern on Saturday.

The Milwaukee Brewers announced over the weekend that they re-signed Mike Moustakis to a one-year, $10 million contract for 2019 with an option for 2020. The team also said he will be playing second base for the Brew Crew, a position he’ll have to get used to in spring training.
The Wisconsin Herd, the NBA G League affiliate of the Milwaukee Bucks, has added forward Amjyot Singh to the team's roster. Wisconsin acquired Singh from the available player pool to fill the roster void created while Xavier Munford plays for the USA Men's Basketball World Cup Qualifying Team. Singh (6-8, 229) most recently played for the Oklahoma City Blue. In his 36 games over two seasons (2017-19) in Oklahoma City, he averaged 2.5 points in eight minutes per game. The 27-year-old forward brings international experience to the Herd, playing in several FIBA Asia Cups (2011, 2013, 2015 and 2017). When Singh first joined the Blue, he was the just the third Indian-born player, after Satnam Singh and Palpreet Singh Brar, to hold an NBA G League roster spot. Singh will wear No. 21 for Wisconsin. The Herd roster now stands at 12 players. The Green Bay Packers have promoted Chris Gizzi to strength & conditioning coordinator and retained Mark Lovat, Thadeus Jackson and Grant Thorne as strength & conditioning assistants. Head Coach Matt LaFleur made the announcement Monday.
