I'm joined by The Champaign Room's Pleas Honeywood & Brandt Dolce to review Illinois' victories against Northwestern & Minnesota (5:00) and the Illini exceeding early expectations (21:08).
We also discuss Illinois' veteran players deferring to Keaton Wagler (24:16), the freshman phenom's rapid ascent (27:42), and the simplest explanation for the Illini's 7-game winning streak.
Finally, we examine the players that will most greatly raise Illinois' ceiling (45:43) before looking ahead to Wednesday's game against Maryland (57:43) and this weekend's ranked matchup at Purdue (66:40).
