The man who lit up the scoreboards at Williams Arena, aka "The Barn," at Minnesota and at Wisconsin's Kohl Center goes by Cliff Libman, a nickname devised from his penchant for the Cliff Bars stocked at the Illinois practice facility and his ability to wipe up sweat off of floors with Libman mops.
That's how Andy Homa introduced himself at Ubben Basketball Complex last Sunday night, when he'd drain threes instead of mopping sweat.
