Illinois leads 31-28 and we will see if the math game can gives Illinois an edge as MSU continues to take mid rangers while Illinois takes rim shots and threes.

Illinois also in foul trouble

Last year when Illinois visited Michigan State, Kasparas Jakucionis played only 8 minutes due to foul trouble. Could the same fate await Keaton Wagler tonight?

“I don’t think anyone thought I would come in here and by this time of the season be projected as a lottery pick.”

Keaton Wagler on his family’s basketball influence, his rapid rise at Illinois and keeping a level head in the middle of all this attention:
How Illinois freshman Keaton Wagler rose from No. 261 recruit to Big Ten Player of the Year candidate
Even Keaton Wagler is a little surprised to hear the NBA draft projections after his rapid rise in his first season at Illinois.

Added the ability to use ESPN analytics breakdown stats like defensive net points to my graph generator.

Favorites for the dPOY, by defensive net points (not including tonight's games)

A neat feature is I can share a link to the graph: billmill.org/nba/cumulati...

The Bulls and Hornets amended the Coby White trade after a physical showed White had a left calf injury and would have to miss time, league sources tell @theathletic.com. Hornets are now sending two second-rounders (2031 NYK, 2031 DEN) to Chicago instead of three.

I'm always mesmerized by how good of a rim protector Derrick White is.

On life outside of basketball, Ayo Dosunmu said the main thing is giving back to the community. He has to educate himself so he can find ways to pour into the community. It’s something he takes pride in. If he’s going to be in Minnesota long term, he will help the community in anyway he can.
February 6, 2026 at 11:45 PM
Ayo Dosunmu when asked what realizing his full potential in Minnesota looks like spoke first on being an even better defender. Doesn’t think he showcased his full potential on that end in Chicago. Wants to be an elite two way guard

It’s still wild that the Celtics’ top player tore his Achilles, they salary-dumped two playoff starters (Holiday, Porzingis), lost two more in free agency (Horford, Kornet), and they’re STILL third-best team in the NBA by Net Rating​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ (+/- per 100)
