Illinois Fighting Illini forward Andrej Stojakovic called for improved leadership following the team's loss to the Texas Tech Red Raiders on Tuesday night at United Supermarkets Arena in Lubbock, Texas.
Stojakovic, wearing No. 2 for Illinois, was photographed driving against Texas Tech defenders Donovan Atwell (No. 12) and Dra Gibbs-Lawhorn (No. 4) during the second half of the November 10, 2026 matchup.
"Our leadership has to be better," Stojakovic said in his postgame reflection, emphasizing the need for greater accountability within the squad after the defeat.
The game marked a non-conference test for both programs early in the 2026-27 NCAA men's basketball season.
