The home side had gone into the game looking for a big reaction to Saturday's 4-1 thumping at rivals Bolton.
But Ryan Lowe's men put in an equally disappointing display as Wycombe continued their upturn under new boss Michael Duff.
A closer look at what turned into a bad night for Wigan
After a lengthy early stoppage forced the replacement of the assistant referee on the near side due to injury, it was Wycombe, who had made a full 11 changes from the side that defeated Northampton at the weekend, that found their rhythm first.

Wigan captain Will Aimson came close to an equaliser just before half-time but could not convert a Raphael Borges Rodrigues cross that had been flicked on by Morgan Fox.
The visitors doubled their lead in the 62nd minute following a clever corner routine down the left, with Donnell McNeilly heading past Tickle from close range.

In response to the above tweet, Wigan fan @Declan86868411 replied: “Can't believe so many of our fans have turned on him already, seeing these comments two really bad performances, I do believe he'll get us moving again.”
@AC9632 also responded: “Needs to be a response on Saturday. Hopefully, a bit more of a crowd can create an atmosphere to get behind them and encourage the team to actually have a go. Rather make mistakes & lose than not even look like scoring.”
@DannyLannon was also not happy with the performance: “Some horrendous performances out there tonight, The two strikers, Baba and Aimson just not at it.”
