#35 Mar 21, 2026 Fly Illini Fly! Fly Illini Fly! First half not so much, but I thought Wagler’s second half was terrific (minus that one turnover).
#38 Mar 21, 2026 Heisenbobble Heisenbobble Great final 25 minutes there. Stepped on their cocky throats and got a 20+ point win. Total team effort. I was way worried in the first half.
