Now, uh, Illinois is one of those teams that's having a, a very nice season, Mike, and maybe be a surprise to some. They're ranked 13th in the country, maybe gonna be inside the top 10 if they pick up a win this weekend. They beat Ohio State 88 to 80. Eaton Wagler had 23 points in this one, and Illinois to win the Big 10, in terms of their odds, Mike, they have moved up significantly ahead of Michigan State and Tom Izzo, which is a bit of a surprise here, only Purdue and Michigan behind them. What's gone right for the Ilia this season? The, the fascinating thing about Illinois is that there was so much uh media conversation about the number of players that they brought in with Eastern European ties, including two guys who were playing at the Division One level uh in Europe last season. And the guy who's, he's not the best player, but Keaton Wagler, uh, is the, is the kind of player who has made Made the difference. He's playing at some at point guard, some on the wing, uh, he, he's, he's got so much ability, and he was the 140th rated player in the freshman class, 140th, and right now, he's got a shot at all Big 10. Uh, that's how well he has played. Uh, Stoyakovic, uh, Andrei Stojakovic has probably been Illinois's best pure player and the player that opponents. Really have to deal with and worry about in preparation. He is Page's son and he is a guy who can get you 25, 30 any night that people don't take him away. But Wagler has been fantastic. Uh, and Kylin Boswell has been, uh, a, a gift as well, uh, uh, was brought in to be, uh, a, a defensive stopper type player and has been terrific on offense for most of this season. Uh, there's a lot of really quality players and I haven't even gotten to the Avisic twins, uh, to what they get out of David Mir Mirkovich, uh, in the front court. This is a team that certainly has Final Four, if not national championship capabilities. And, so we've already talked about Michigan, uh, Purdue had the rough stretch over the weekend against Iowa State, but that's another team that can get there. This may be the best Big 10 in terms of high-end teams that we've seen in a while.
