Players recall Kaufmann's shot 20 years later

Friends remind him of it every time the Fighting Illini battle Iowa in a basketball game. People still shake his hand and tell him they were at The Assembly Hall the night he buried a buzzer-beating 3-pointer to lift Illinois past Iowa 78-77 on Feb. 4, 1993.

"I just live in a small town in Illinois," Kaufmann said. "I get people coming up talking about the shot against Iowa at the time. I hear that, probably, every couple months, or sometimes it will happen four or five times in a week, one of those things."
