Illinois freshman guard Keaton Wagler – ranked No. 5 in ESPN's Top 100 – has declared for the 2026 NBA draft, his agency ProMondo Sports tells me and @JeremyWoo. Wagler led the 28-9 Fighting Illini to the Final Four for the first time since 2005.

Had the privilege of sitting a few of seats down from Loren at the game last night. The upper pressbox was glass enclosed so the crowd noise was unfortunately muted. However, that allowed me within earshot of his running commentary throughout the night and it was 100% solid gold.

Look man, I hate that we lost. But being here to support the players (players in tears) when they return to the hotel is the core of all of this. We love no other.
