CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — Kylan Boswell’s imprint on Illinois’s 81–77 win over Texas Tech on Tuesday night began seven months ago in mid-April, when California star wing Andrej Stojaković entered his name in the transfer portal. It was no secret Illinois was interested, but Boswell, a Champaign, Ill., native and one of a few returners for the Illini, wanted to ensure the message was received.
“I was harassing this dude,” Boswell joked Tuesday night.
