The Sheehey and Pritchard dunks both came during a season where we finished last in the Big Ten. The crowds at those games were way better than any crowd we've had this year or last.

Wish I could find the Purdue flex video.

yeah, this is the best quality that I have found.

 

Thanks.  Yea that’s all I’ve ever found.  I’d love an HD ‘02 Illinois game “Newton’s Law” dunk game, but that is likely very hard to find!

That team should've gone further than it did.

Or the game against MSU when Hulls hit a left handed 3 as the shot clock expired. I'm pretty sure Hulls shot better left handed than some of our guys now shoot normally.

Way too many on my list but when I saw the title of this thread I instantly thought of the game against LSU in the 87 tournament.

I really thought Andrae Patterson was going to dominate the season after this performance.  It never panned out for him.  He was totally efficient in this game and destroyed Duke.  I loved every minute of it.

We all thought Knight was back. Patterson just didn’t have that killer instinct.

This led one of the top 5 things on PTI, IIRC. 
 

Even the bad times back then were better than now. we’re essentially irrelevant.

I wish Phinisee had finished his career at IU. I don't think we've had any really good defender at the guard position since he left.

Not the whole game but a fun one.

Not a video, but dayum! Ray Tolbert posterizing two kittycats.  #5 IU lost this game to #2 UK in December of 1980, but went on to win banner number 4 a few months later.

That was a tough non conference that year with us going 7-5

I watched this for the first time recently. Alford was incredible and kept us in the game the first half...dude needed no space to get his shot off.

This was a RMK coaching masterpiece.. absolutely stunned everyone that he  chose to play at UNLV's pace and beat them doing it..I almost love this more than the Natty!

2 of those 5 non-con losses were wtf games in Hawaii.  6 of the 9 losses that year were to teams ranked in the top 15.
