Illinois basketball made history on Monday night by setting a new team record with 19 three-pointers in a single game. Guard Stefan Vaaks contributed four of those shots from beyond the arc. The milestone marks a significant achievement for the program, though coaches and players emphasize it is only the beginning of their season aspirations.

The record-breaking performance came during a dominant offensive display, showcasing the team's perimeter shooting depth. Illinois will look to build on this momentum as they continue their campaign.
