I believe you mean the 1987 game.

No, that was the 1986-87 team.

That's right. My bad.

I think I was there (I think). Did Les Jepsen (Les is more!) drive the lane late in the game to give us the lead or extend a small lead?

That was the following year, 1990 season. Illinois was ranked 10th, and a formidable team with Gill, Bardot, Liberty. Hawks tied it late, got a stop, and the stage was set for Jepsen's drive as time expired.

This is correct.
