1979 you mean?
A couple I'd offer a shout for would be the Sweet 16 game against Iowa State a couple years back and the Tyler Griffey win over #1 Indiana.

"I can't tell you. Secret."
All of that...and more, in one dream?
Lol no....you misread...that was what we wondered my nightmare meant was coming in reality.
I was going to mention BP’s 40 against Ohio State that was an awesome game. That was at home by an upper classman though. This was just astonishing! By a true freshman!! He continues to amaze.!!
Keaton wagler saved my life
I vote Keaton Wagler be forever called the QUIET ASSASSIN
I'm thinking National POW.
Yep, all great games behind #1 IL vs Az, lol.
I remember some idiot thinking, "Surely this is just hype. How good could a freshman from Kansas be if he didn't get an offer from KU or K-State."Remember in the offseason when no one wanted to believe Brad when kept saying that Keaton was the best player on the team?
But at least today I am a happy idiot.

This was better. It was at Purdue, the #4 team in the country, and Keaton is just a true freshman. I mean, wow.

incredible performance. so many big shots down the stretch. all the pump fake threes were so huge. great team defense on Braden with Boswell out. Purdue is such an annoying group of players, that was awesome.

I'd say he's a lock for 1st team at this point.
We denied them nuggets a bunch of times too lol
First Tomi breaking the guitar...now David throwing chairs and breaking boards....our Slavic players have some crazy energy but that's what we need. David is probably the closest thing I've seen to Lucas Johnson yet he has been pretty tame in games compared to what I thought he'd be like
To be fair to ESPN, they did cover the Duke / Wake Forest game today.
He’s certainly toward the top for FOY, and he keeps playing like he has and a deep run in tourney could put him in contention for POW also. A ways to go of course.
Painter: Weare going to switch 1-5, which we never do, and take away Illini’s pick and pop 3s, and we’re going to make Keaton Wagler beat us by himself
Keaton: Okay.
Keaton: Okay.

I stand corrected.
Me thinks a pretty good coach...
Boy do I hate bringing this up now, but Zach Edey was ranked #436. But enough of that, back to the Illini
Watched Purdue's postgame press videos. Man are they dejected. Players said very little other than we got beat.
Painter said, I look at the stat sheet, we shot 57%, 37% from 3, 82% from the line, and turn it over 3 times. That's a win.
Until I look at the rebounding. And of course Wagler.
Fun fact, Keaton had no rebounds - do better!

I said during the game thread that they should've abandoned the whole switching 1-5... it seemed like we basically found a way to put Cluff on Keaton every possession in the 1H
With about five minutes to go, I was muttering to myself that he's been disappointing this year. He came on strong when it mattered, though.
