Show Notes

Illinois basketballs freshmen stars, Keaton Wagler and David Mirković, led the team to their first Final Four appearance since 2005, defeating Iowa in the Elite Eight. Wagler, the South Region MOP, scored 25 points, while Mirković grabbed 12 rebounds. The teams depth, including veterans like Kylan Boswell and the Ivišić twins, contributed to their success. Wagler and Mirkovićs bond, off-court antics, and shared mindset, honed by NBA 2K and high IQ, made them stand out. They now prepare for UConn in the semis, aiming to rewrite Illinois history.
