Illini Snaps Streak, Throttles Oregon

Illinois snapped their recent losing streak with an 80-54 victory over Oregon on Senior Night at the State Farm Center.

The win helps the Illini secure a top four finish in the Big Ten standings and a triple-bye in next week's conference tournament. Three seniors—Kylan Boswell, Ben Humrichous, and AJ Redd—were honored 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 dominated with a 38-12 run in the first half after Oregon took an early 9-3 lead.
