CHAMPAIGN, IL – (Scott Richey- Champaign News- Gazette Please click to read the full story. Here is an excerpt) The video that played before Illinois’ starting lineup was announced this season at State Farm Center featured some of the top moments in the modern era of Illini basketball. Nick Anderson hitting the buzzer-beating three-pointer to win at Indiana in 1989. Frank Williams’ driving layup at Minnesota to clinch the 2002 Big Ten title. Deron Williams’ late three-pointer against Arizona in the Elite Eight in 2005. Tyler Griffey’s game-winning layup to beat No. 1 Indiana in 2013. That Griffey highlight was the last major moment for Illinois basketball.
