After suffering back-to-back losses twice in February, the Illini moved closer to securing a top-four finish in the Big Ten standings. 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 honored seniors Kylan Boswell, Ben Humrichous, and AJ Redd before their final career home game. The Illini's dominant 38-12 run in the first half provided breathing room, as they held Oregon scoreless for more than six minutes during their stretch.
