Top fan take from @lucasmitchell: “Elite hoops boys and girls. Illinois goes into one of the toughest places to play in Mackey Arena in comes away with a w. With no Kylan Boswell might I add. Keaton Wagler had 46 bloody points!!! Insane day for freshman I guess haha. But yeah this freshman class is some of the best we've ever seen. Everyone is a demon. Purdue shouldn't fret too much just have to keep moving. This game shows when Illinois wants to be they are the best team in the country. Sometimes they are just sooo inconsistent.”
