How is a freshman this calm on the road… in a hostile environment… on national TV?
In this clip, we break down Keaton Wagler’s poise, efficiency, and control — and why it’s almost unbelievable that he only needed 17 shots while being on an absolute heater. Nothing rattles him. The crowd doesn’t matter. The moment doesn’t matter. Basketball is just basketball.
We also dive into what Brad Underwood said postgame, why Illinois’ spacing makes this offense nearly impossible to guard, and how this group is operating at a historic level of efficiency. When everyone on the floor can knock down a shot, collapsing simply isn’t an option.
If the season ended today, Illinois would be running the most efficient offense in KenPom history — and it starts with leadership, confidence, and a freshman who already plays like a vet.
