[QUOTE="skyIdub, post: 1600217, member: 230966"] Unfortunately your original post on the matter got immediately twisted into a strawman argument about "greatest Illini player" ever. You clearly did not make any statements to that affect. No player in my Illini memory (1980ish?) has had the sheer number and specific single shot... [I]one shot...[/I] game ending or game sealing plays than Ayo Dosunmu. There are several plays and finishes by great Illini as has been mentioned...Frankie, Deron, Nick...but I'm challenged to find one Illini player that can equal Ayo's end of game shots/plays to end or seal a victory over the last couple years. I'm counting 10 or 12 of those? OSU, WI, NW, scUM, PSU, Iowa, Neb, NW again and OSU again. That's 9 ...and I left out the MSU "This won't end well for Illinois" game and both Indiana games because they had just over 1 minute left whereas all the others were less than 1 minute. Add those games (reasonable) and it's 12 games. If you find another Illini with that many...serve it up...I'm not seeing it. [/QUOTE]
