Consensus best buzzer beater in Illini history

Against #1 Indiana at the Real Assembly Hall!

That was amazing, but we also need to think about Andy Kaufman's shot against Iowa in the first home game after the Bruce Pearl 💩 ... and Griffey hitting the buzzer beater over #1 IU

The dead silence when Nick hits the shot. U can hear the ball swishing thru the net. Thats the best part imo.

I still get chills every time I watch this sequence of events!! Watched the game live on TV. Man, was that exciting!!! Sure would like to see creative plays coming from current coaching staff out of timeouts. Bruce Weber and Lou Henson did it...

The Jay Edwards shot was just insane…shot from behind the back board….then Nelison one ups him

They ran that same play on 1/8/87 for Ken Norman at Wisconsin. That’s the one buzzer beater I have never been able to find a replay of. Wish I could find that one. This one obviously the best ever. My #2 is Derek Harper 3/13/83 against Minnesota. Needed it to make the NCAA.

Nick Anderson's last second shot to beat Indiana at IU.

I voted for Andy's 3 vs. Iowa, but you can make a good argument for this one since it earned the Flyin' Illini a No. 1 seed. This game was tied, though, whereas the Illini were down 2 vs. IA.

Who was that on play by play?

Hit Take: the Jay Edwards shot was the best of the game.

One of those "I know exactly where I was" moments.
