Wagler 3 loading…

Up 30 after 30 minutes projects to...

 

[TampaToo]

No doubt. Team 3 point shooting as a whole needs to go from 46.2 to 47 percent. Come on!

 

[Mr. Roberts]

They beat Indiana.

And Wisconsin.

 

[BWA]

The Jake Davis 2027 retention plan needs to begin now!

Jake, Mirk, Andrej, and the Twins

 

[FleetFeetIllini]

I have to wonder, is Brad playing line-ups and not getting in Lee or Petro because of injuries and he wants to get cohesion with whoever who puts out there or because of analitics and wants be be impressive so we can get to the 1 or 2 line?

I'm guessing he wants more cohesion given the recent injuries

Keaton doing some grown man things for a 160lb kid

Keaton Wagler is now listed at 185lbs = the Fletch Effect.

Mirk is such a mismatch. He's going to be someone's centerpiece next year.

I think the best bet is for the Illini.

Love that inside out game and offball cut by Kylan. Absolutely love it

 

[PNWIllini]

I did not sit through years of Harv Schmid, Benedict Gene Barlow, the !!! end of Bruce Weber and John Groce to let up now. Crush them and do not relent. All the way to the F4 or until we lose to someone better.

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Oh Keaton. So beautiful

 

[hoopsfan47]

Just need Tomi to bury a triple to get 7 in double digits.

 

[Rusty]

I'm guessing he wants more cohesion given the recent injuries

I guess in a way he can treat these games like against EIU and play different line-ups to see what works.

 

[NarrowJ]

Wags just took Arenas to the playground

Firing. On. All. Cylinders…

 

[Wazababybrucedouglaskid]

Machine!

Perhaps the refs need a little Artificial Intelligence.....

 

[TheodoreRex]

I think USC's Super Bowl was to limit Keaton in this game.. well- I guess they achieved that goal all while the rest of our team absolutely handled them.

 

[aaeismacgychel]

The chemistry between Kylan and Tomi has been absolute fire tonight

 

[PNWIllini]

Crush them into little bits. Drive over them. They’re asphalt.

 

[RockfordIllini]

So I know with modern analytics style points count now, but maybe another minute or so of run here and then put in Petro and Lee. I think Keaton has tired legs. Let’s lighten the load when we can.

 

[Doogie94]

7 players in double figures with more than 7 minutes left.

That is amazing, and probably extraordinarily rare.

 

[CDRUSN]

These announcers have exhausted their entire repertoire of compliments for our Illini. Pretty soon they'll fall back on the old classic:

What’s the earliest Dan has fired up the post game thread?
