A second train of thought about Wagler...

In our New World of college sports.....transferApalooza.....a true freshman comes in and blows the roof off.

Man Keaton is a special player. Im not sure ive seen a player with such good pace and control. Effortless

I’ll be shocked if this isn’t a Purdue blowout. All their stuff is easy. Most of Illinois offense is Wagler making hard stepback 3s.

You can’t really slow down Purdue playing man to man so I’d play zone and just hope they brick a bunch of open 3s

Down only 4 after that display of trash offense and defense well shoot I'll take it. Lol. Wagler with ice in his veins. I think we could have been up if some of those open look 3s were made. Got to do better in the second half. More guys need to step up and help Keaton on offense. Get stops on defense.

To be fair if he was wearing gold he wouldve been to the line a few times and the push off wouldnt have been called.

KW with a Jordanesque effort to will his team to keep things close. I think the hatred of losing is not lost on this young man.

Losing turnover battle 6-1 and only down by 4. Need to clean it up and we might have a chance.

Andrej just isn’t good enough for the BIG. Yes, he’s a phenomenal driver, but he’s a slow defender, subpar shooter, careless passer, and a black hole. He needs to come off the bench to find offense when everyone is missing threes, but that’s it.

Getting 30 points against Maryland is great. Against better competition, he just needs to play within himself.

No more silly drives to the hole when you don't have a chance. Shoot the 3-pointer if within the offense. Attack the glass.

Wagler with 24 and the next highest scorer has 4 for us. Purdue shooting 63% and Illini 43%. We are winning the boards 16 to 10. Imagine if another player on our team could step up besides Wagler! I think we are missing Bam in this one.
