Illini Snap Losing Streak, Throttle Oregon 80-54

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

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. The Illini dominated with a 38-12 run in the final 15 minutes of the first half, turning an early 9-3 Oregon deficit into a commanding lead.

The victory moves Illinois closer to securing a top four finish in the Big Ten standings and a triple-bye in next week's conference tournament. Senior Night honors went to Kylan Boswell, Ben Humrichous, and AJ Redd, who concluded their careers with the win.
