Yeah I think this one pretty much takes the cake of all the accolades. Literally the best road performance ever by a single player.
Illinois 88, Purdue 82 Postgame

I've never wanted anything more in my life. I'd be willing to cash in all of my Karma tokens for this to happen. I haven't felt like this since 2005...

"I can't tell you. Secret."
So, a fun side story I thought about sharing pre game but didn't because juju.....
I don't have nightmares. Like...ever. I might remember one or two about Sasquatch when I was a kid. (side story...my cattle rancher family in NorCal and Oregon telling Bigfoot stories to 8 y/o me around the fire, buttholes).
Overnight I was awakened at exactly 4:17 a.m. to a legit nightmare. Nothing crazy, just weird af dream with a crazy masked dude that jumps scares out of a wheelchair at me....jolted awake. Random as anything in my lifetime. Seemingly harmless but I told my brother the story this morning and we wondered maybe it means something big is going to happen.
Of course we thought of the worst because nightmare. nuclear war, civil war, aliens....etc..
Turns out it was Purdue's nightmare. Nuclear Wagler.
Oh and also I wore the orange Underwoodavic track pants for the first time. Yes, of course I will be wearing them the rest of the season.

Except Dan is smiling ear to ear.Dan , currently
The Wake Forest game wants in at no.2.
Kasparas Jakucionis. Who? Keaton 10x as good.
And Jake Davis is more than the sum of his parts.
And yet they stuck it out and dug deep to pull out a huuuuge win.
Always respected TKR but thought he got away with a lot of pushing. Refs got their whistle stuck.
FINALLY! Somebody else said it...

wouldn’t expect anything less from ESPN..
If there is some high school kid in America, shooting lights out on his farm with a peach basket nailed to the barn and an underinflated ball with the tread worn off, Tyler will find him and Brad will suit him up. Keaton may be the best diamond in the rough find by any coaching staff ever in the history of college basketball.
Full credit to the TEAM desire to win as well. Tomi, Drej, Mirk, an Jake didn’t have “it” per se, but they did their work on the glass. If they don’t rebound at elite levels, then we don’t win the game. Simple as.
This team got JUICE

That’s the problem with Kenpom.
MSU jumps 5 spots after beating a terrible Maryland team.
Illinois only jumps 3 spots after beating the #4 team on the road.

Or maybe there's a lot more going on than just Wagler's game. Just sayin'...
nba has given us special performances. College too obviously.
That was… I’m not even sure where Keaton just went.
You start getting into some rare air man. And that’s not hyperbole
