The last 6 minutes presented with stoppages cut out, of the February 12th game between the Illinois Fighting Illini and the Northwestern Wildcats.
Northwestern seemed to have this game totally under control with the clock running down, but things began to spiral out of control, and with half the fans backing the visiting team, the game built to an entertaining conclusion.
As we begin, Northwestern (white) leads Illinois (in orange) 55-41, with Illinois having just made a shot.
Terry Gannon and Stephen Bardo have the call.

I already know how it ends, but seeing Davis miss around 5:30 still make me squirm, haha. Go Illini :)

10 months later and I still can't believe Illinois won this game.
Three best Illini games
1. Arizona 2004-05
2. Clemson 2009-10
3. Northwestern 2008-09

this game proved Northwestern wasn't for real. All any team in the big ten would have to have done was to press northwestern and I bet NW woulda went win less in conference. NW can handle extended pressure!
