Illini Ends Skid with Rout of Oregon

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

The Illini honored seniors Kylan Boswell, Ben Humrichous, and AJ Redd in their final career home game. Junior Andrej Stojakovic led the charge with 21 points and a career-high 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, taking a 41-21 lead into the break. The victory moves the Illini closer to securing a top-four finish in the Big Ten standings and a triple-bye in next week's conference tournament.
