Illinois basketball fans just watched something special—freshmen Keaton Wagler and David Mirkovic played like seasoned vets, powering the Illini to a huge 88-80 win at Ohio State. Wagler dropped 23 points in 39 minutes, showing off his scoring touch and poise, while Mirkovic added 22 points and nine boards. These two didn’t just hold their own; they led the team in their first Big Ten road game. It’s wild to think Wagler was barely recruited by top programs. Are we witnessing the start of a new Illini era? Let’s talk about what this means for the rest of the season! #Sports #IllinoisBasketball #BigTen
