There are several games that will forever live in my memory as an Illini fan.
Although I find myself just in my 20s, my father was a 1967 Illinois graduate, and from a young age I was raised to cheer on the Fighting Illini.
In 2005, I sat with my father and watched the heartbreak that was the national title game against North Carolina.
In 2007, I watched in awe as Danny Dufrene, Brian Gamble and Juice Williams took down the Buckeyes at the horseshoe.
And in 2012, I saw one of the most dominant performances in Assembly Hall: Brandon Paul’s 43 points to lead the Illini over Aaron Craft and the No.
