0:00 We welcome you inside sold out Welsh Ryan Arena who as a longtime rivalry is renewed again tonight. Big 10 basketball is powered by Ram Trucks. Nothing stops Ram. It is the 13th ranked Alii four and one in league play and the Northwestern Wildcats turn. First time the Wildcats have done that since 2016 off the miss and that was a concern for them right now. The way they're playing off these screens. a lot of hedge and ball moved around and so far so good if you're no question.

0:31 Wagler the offensive rebound off the missed three. Illinois has gone off to such quick starts during this fivegame winning streak and soak adds to it.

0:41 Straight line drive. Here's Waggler. He got a clean look. They're good in the fast break

0:52 as West tries again. That's a good job by Jordan Clayton. Good find. Nowhere to go. He has a mismatch right now as far as speed. See what he does with it.

1:04 It's over. I know the tip from Singleton. Illinois just down to a quick lead. Line have missed their last six from the field until then.

1:17 Cross. They couldn't do it. Good penetration by Boswell. And Ben is all over that corner three being able to bother Roger off the dribble. The mismatch inside he's got the mismatch against Reed instead as the fade away from Boswell knocking it down. And now Reed tied up by Boswell. Shot clock down to four. Reed fires and knocks it down. And a foul.

1:44 His second foul. You see Jaden Reed, usually a starter, comes off the bench in this game, no hesitation, and he knocks that one. He drills it. And remember, the officials did change the foul because of his size.

2:02 There's Waggler on the drive. Left it for Davis. And the bucket will count. And a foul.

2:08 Release. He gets this bucket. You can see Katon goes down, gets this one blocked. And there's Jake Davis. He mastered so long. Sherino with a corner three.

2:24 I love his energy. His first year the transfer from Holy Cross. And there is Evic. Big C cleaning it up. Boy, no question. Some kind of way Nick Martinelli has to touch the basketball.

2:38 Three-point shot. Well, quick hands with the tip and into the hands of Sherino. Paige for three.

2:49 So Yakovic to Evacic. He'll try to answer. Can't. Humber. The tip into the hands of Boswell. Clock down to three. Boswell didn't see it. Down to one. And I know. Put back. Yes. West back to IC. Did he get a shot off in time? The shot clock was winding down. launch it top of the backboard. Keep an eye on that shot clock

3:19 and he did. That's a great look. Good job by our crew. Jaden Reed, the floater. Smooth.

3:28 What do they scheme? He said, "No, we just come out and play and guys get out and contest."

3:33 Artelli, that's an improving part of his game, the three-point shot. Coaching staff talked about how much he worked on the three-point shot. That looked good.

3:43 Nelli was going to make that layup. Got the offensive rebound and the bucket. So, Yakovich answers and that's where he's so crafty getting the bulk of his points in the paint. Strong guard. He is to go to work here against Reed now. A switch. Evitz for three. Knocks it down and the Ali regain the lead. It's already in the game tonight. And a shout out to the crew that covers the Alii. The Aliquire podcast made a good point that I shot 10 shots a game last year down to Brad Underwood will keep Thomas Logos on the floor for now with two fouls. Although Ben Humber is at the scorers table on the attack and so good at doing that answers right back to the Ali. Paige fell down open. No. And the long rebound to Paige.

4:33 Good job by Paige. Got up quickly. Reed could have shot the three instead. Does that

4:43 Jaden Reed coming off the bench. He's had a good first half now. Eight points. Foul on the Wildcats. Puts them at the line. And that's where Boswell is going at a three-point.

4:56 His size and his ability with the balance and his base. Green fouled him, still shot it through.

5:03 Largest lead of the first half at seven. And Hmer House now playing the five for the Ali. Martineelli in traffic could not finish. The tip goes there.

5:13 Big second jump. Carves out space with his Wagler kind of a quiet first half trying to change that narrative. Has four points backto back. Big 10 freshman of the week honors. He's won that honor three times overall this season. Singleton answers on the run zero tonight.

5:33 Starting in this second half Illinois STEP BACK FE AND a little finger to the mouth is silence the wild side behind the basket. watching 66 freshman handles the basketball and he's got the ball on the string and that's a beautiful step back to for three and the Ali have an 11-point lead as well put so much pressure influencing the ball to stay on that side zone right now trying to figure this one out for three and there's a good He has 14 points to lead all scores for Westwestern trying to trap. Waggler from deep. BOSWELL THE OFFENSIVE REBOUND AND THAT'LL BE A GOD.

6:27 Back to 10. Martineelli not this time. PA THE OFFENSIVE REBOUND. MARTINELLI slashing pitching and dunking by P. There's Waggler. Tough two. Man, that was contested.

6:44 Score the basketball. Just watch him right here working against Boswell. Comes off this little screen, shoots this three, didn't get it. And watch him come down the lane and there he is. Nobody wants to contest that double.

7:02 Waggler, he lost it. Sherino, does he challenge Boswell? He does. IC went up for the block and now Bowwell Waggler HIT THE DECK. NO WHISTLE KNOCKS DOWN the three. Artinelli has 16. That's a good kick out.

7:25 191st alltime beating Illinois and Northwestern. Reed the deep two. Roswell with five against Singleton. DAVIS CORNER THREE. SHOT CLOCK WINDING DOWN and Boswell found his teammate in the corner. Asked all the questions as everything that we ask of him and then some. Well, this guy is a blossoming leader as well, if not one of the best freshman of the country. Katon Waggler adding to his great second half numbers.

7:56 Yeah, his action says leader right here on this play. Take the bump. The second bump and the little finger roll. Allah George Gervin from Keen Waggler to Brad Underwood.

8:14 Waggler crossing over and knocking down another three. Stop the 32 zone. Good job by Reed trying to break break it down.

8:24 Reed having his Reed has the last 11 for the Wildcats. Big shot. Singleton. No. Coswell the tip into the hands of West Reed corner three. Got it against Coswell. There's a double team. Reed with five to shoot. Sees the clock and Paige. Great lead to Paige and Jaden Reed having a night. He's had the hot hand. Not this time. Waggler grabbed the rebound. Boswell lowers the shoulder on Paige. MISSED IT. TIPPED THOUGH from Ivasic.

9:04 Boswell though going up against Paige. Just a toss player on the floor for the Wildats. Without him, there was not a lot of guys besides Keith Evic off the glass. And there he is. Jay Green. A big mismatch inside. AND WEST WITH THE FOUL ON IIC. Illinois was patient. They found it inside. And Jake West down there by himself. But before that, let me have his dance. Jake Ree said to Paige for the nice dunk. And then you can see Boswell right now. He misses this one. But even all over the glass. Gotic up for a MOMENT AND CURLS IT UP AND IN.

9:52 Oswell in the paint. Crafty and scores off the glass. He has 13. So Yakovich back in for Illinois. Next whistle. Sparkler behind the back. Iic for three. Big bucket for the Ali. I up to 18 points. Go.

10:11 Good play by Waggler. And no hesitation. Guards Waggler off the Evas screen. He'll try that same spot and the same result. A good team. 405 Luther Head. Darren Williams D. Brown three answers right back. 90 seconds to play. Six to shoot. Waggler against Paige in the paint underneath and chewed up the clock. And despite a great game from Jaden Reed, too much Waggler, too much Eva, and Illinois prevails.
