Illinois Snaps Streak, Blasts Oregon

The Illini honored seniors Kylan Boswell, Ben Humrichous, and AJ Redd in their final home game. Junior Andrej Stojakovic led the way with 21 points and 12 rebounds, while freshmen Keaton Wagler and David Mirkovic added 11 and 19 points respectively. Illinois went on a decisive 38-12 run in the first half's final 15 minutes, taking control of the game.

The victory moves Illinois closer to securing a top-four finish in the Big Ten standings and a triple-bye in next week's conference tournament. The win comes after the team suffered back-to-back losses twice in February.
