Keaton Wagler turned up the heat in the second half, dropping 20 of his 22 points to help No. 13 Illinois pull away from Northwestern in Evanston. Even with a career night from Northwestern’s Jayden Reid off the bench, the Illini’s late-game shooting and defense kept their Big Ten win streak alive at six. The Wildcats’ Nick Martinelli, usually a scoring machine, was held in check early, making every Illinois bucket feel even bigger. What do you think made the difference in this rivalry game—clutch shooting, defense, or something else? #Sports #IllinoisBasketball #Northwestern
