I can watch this clip over and over and over. Depending on how you want to look at it, it was either the greatest clutch comeback in NCAA tournament history or the greatest choke job ever. The Fighting Illini started to fall apart with under ten minutes remaining in the game and fell down 75-60 with just 4:04 to go in the game. I still am amazed at the defense and flat out will power to make a couple of clutch steals under 90 seconds to make the comeback possible. Amazing 4 minutes of basketball when it really mattered. To top it all off, Dick Enberg called it. Fellow Illini watch and smile. Oh my.
