Happy Friday, Dunker Spot faithful. No Illini action on the schedule today, which means we’re handing the floor over entirely to history... and what a story today’s date has to tell. Four years ago, Ayo Dosunmu walked into the most hostile gym in the Big Ten and did something no Illinois player had ever done before. Twice. We’re breaking it all down below. Enjoy your Friday, and we’ll see you on the other side of the weekend.
THIS DAY IN ILLINI HISTORY
Ayo Does It Again!
There’s a version of February 20, 2021 where Ayo Dosunmu plays a normal, excellent basketball game for the fifth-ranked Illinois Fighting Illini. Drops 18, dishes 7, grabs 6. Brad Underwood smiles, the team boards the bus, and everyone moves on.
That’s not what happened.
