MINNEAPOLIS — AJ Storr scored a team-high 24 points and Chucky Hepburn added 20 points, but Wisconsin ultimately lost to Illinois, 93-87, in the championship game of the 2024 Big Ten Men's Basketball Tournament at Target Center on Sunday.

Hepburn finished with another all-around performance, tallying three steals, five rebounds and five assists while turning the ball over just once.

Klesmit finished with 16 points, shooting 4-for-6 from 3-point range.

Crowl rounded out double-digit scorers for UW with 11 points, five rebounds and five assists.

UW shot 46.9 percent from the floor, but was unable to slow down the offensive firepower of Illinois, which finished the game shooting 52.6 percent and scored 52 points in the second half.

Up next, Wisconsin waits to hear its name called in the 2024 NCAA Tournament.
