Tennessee basketball has lost three games in a row for the first time in two years after it stumbled through a loss to Illinois on Dec. 6.

But on Saturday night, against perhaps the most gritty and brutish team in the country, Wagler was superb. He scored 16 points, snagged eight rebounds and dished out five assists while committing zero turnovers in Illinois’ 75-62 win over Tennessee in Nashville.

Nate Ament is averaging 17.1 points and 7.4 rebounds for Tennessee basketball, but has struggled in the past three games against better teams.
