Illinois 88, Purdue 82 Postgame

We're all over the moon for this one. Just unreal to see our freshmen on the road against that senior group and fight back from down 11. Wagler insanity continues, and goes to new heights, but the entire team was in on this one. So many good plays fighting through the occasional tough ones.
Crazy good game, glad we finished it so well

What a game, 47% from 3 and one of the best individual performances I have ever seen!
You can tell how great this game was by how hard Dan’s server is working right now, haha
It is nice to be on the other end of someone going off for 46. Usually it is some unknown from the other team.
Multiple statements made!
This team can beat anyone, anywhere.
Forget B1G freshman of the year, Keaton Wagler should be right there for National freshman of the year. Purdue is about as close to an NBA defense as there is in the NBA, and he shredded them. Any questions about him as a lottery pick were answered today.
What a STUD.
Our boy is trending!
I’m at a loss for words. What a special game. My favorite game of all time that isn’t from the 05 final four season.
Keaton Wagler you are A LEGEND

6 (with #1 offense)
Wagler best performance I've ever seen by an Illini in my lifetime, but can't forget Jake Davis, Tomi, Mirk 3, 3, 3 turned that into a win.
Thought it was my Internet. Id give you a like but the site won't allow RN
Dan’s site gonna crash

Flat on the canvas in the first round of the fight, in that environment, and you get back up. That's serious culture.
This server is struggling because of all the fans! Love it!! Can’t even imagine all the Wagler merch that will be bought. Dudes an Illini legend. Couldn’t be happier as a fan.
Would love to point out the other players that dominated. Jake Davis, Tomi Ivisic, and Mirk. Just an incredible win. My weekend is so much better now haha

Keaton is a stud, I’m sure he’s going to be pretty sore after that!
Definitely need to give Tomi major props for hitting those two huge 3’s at the end along with Mirk hitting one. Without Keaton we’re not in the game, but those two big guys had the guts to step up at the end. Kudos to them for getting it done!
