Wisconsin's Brian Butch scored 12 points and the eighth-ranked Badgers beat upstart Illinois 61-48 in the Big Ten tournament championship game.

Marcus Landry, the tournament's most outstanding player, added 10 points, six rebounds and four assists as the top-seeded Badgers (29-4) sweep the Big Ten's regular-season and tournament titles for the first time. It's Wisconsin's second tournament championship.

Shaun Pruitt led the 10th-seeded Fighting Illini (16-19) with 13 points and eight rebounds.
