[blueguy]

Did not have jakstys as one of the first off my bench on my bingo card

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Both teams might score 100 tonight

 

[CentralILLini]

Wagler my god

 

[PopChampaign]

MF Wagler

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Wagler lookin good thus far

 

[madillini4]

Wagler may be the chosen one, that nobody chose but us (and minnesota)

 

[hoopsfan47]

Wagler drives to the rim for 2!! Followed by a trey from the Hummer!!1

 

[ImGonnaBeILL]

Ben for 3!

 

[SummerofGeorge]

I am so freakin impressed by Wagler!!!

 

[aaeismacgychel]

There we go Ben!

 

[CDRUSN]

Wagler's a freshman? Daym he's got some moves. Hope we get 2 years out of him before the NBA comes calling.

 

[LFOD]

These two teams appear to be ranked pretty accurately so far.. good match

 

[madillini4]

Awful foul call on Kylan

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

Pathetic officiating so far.

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Toppin is struggling against Big Z's size.

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Nice take by Andrej off the dribble

 

[PopChampaign]

Nice block Andrej, we need him to heat up with Boz out. They’re getting a lot of easy buckets, those last mid range jumpers need to be contested

 

[Coop70]

Wagler is impressive early. Love his speed and vision.

 

[RaisedMyBoysIllini]

I’m calmer watching these than 20 years ago

 

[Illinisnake]

Yeah you practice zone for a reason, they will score 100 if you just leave the paint open.

 

[hoopsfan47]

Illini maybe too hyped at the start but the two treys from KB settled them. Illini may have more skilled players, but TT may have the more athletic. Two teams playing hard. This should be a barn burner!!

 

[aveseaboy]

The vision may come to life with Andrej here pretty quick

 

[PopChampaign]

Wagler's a freshman? Daym he's got some moves. Hope we get 2 years out of him before the NBA comes calling.

Where he’ll be at the end of the season + our tourney run, good chance he’s gone.
