It's safe to say Jon Ekey won't hit a bigger shot in his Illinois career. The Illini senior, who played three seasons at Illinois State, drained a memorable last-second 3-pointer to lift Illinois to a 66-63 season-ending road win Saturday night at No. 24 Iowa. With the dramatic victory, the Illini enters next week's Big Ten tourney having won four of their last five games. Watch Ekey's game-winning shot in this post.
