The baby faced assassin put on a clinic today. Keaton Wagler was not a household name or put in the same category as other elite freshman....maybe this game will change that. I will officially say that Will Riley was a poor man's Keaton Wagler b/c Keaton Wagler is on a completely different level. One of the best performances I've ever seen watching an Illini game. Right up there when Brandon Paul put up 43 pts in that one game over a decade ago
An absolute fantastic win. The team took a bunch of punches to the face but kept their composure. Wagler…Don’t think I’ve seen a game like him before. That was an All-World performance.
And a very special and spiteful win for me. My former company’s CEO, is a Purdue Grad, laid me off last year after 26 years. A huge FU to JM!
Keaton was fantastic. I'd also like to give a lot of credit to Underwood, who has consistently shown over the years that he can make due when his stars miss games.
