Illinois coach Brad Underwood reported Mihailo Petrovic and Brandon Lee are out, while Andrej Stojakovic remains a game-time decision after a knee sprain.
Illinois launched from deep, hitting 17 three-pointers in the opener, the most since Dec. 18, 2021, boosting bench players and team confidence.
Wagler and Mirkovic's starts highlight a youthful rotation as Keaton Wagler and David Mirkovic started Monday's opener, while coaches hope Andrej Stojakovic gets more full practices before Tuesday against Texas Tech.
