Former Illini Great.

Quote:
Former Illinois men's basketball standout Efrem Winters died Monday morning, according to the Champaign News-Gazette. He was 61.

The 1984 all-Big Ten Conference first-team selection grabbed a then program-best 853 rebounds during his four-year career, from 1982 to 1986. Winters was living in Arizona after retiring from the Pepper Construction Company.

Yeah I was so young at the time I sort of thought of guys like him and Bruce Douglas as pros even when they were still Sophomores in college.

That makes three of us. We were at some tournament and happened to be staying at the same hotel as the Illini. We got on the same elevator as Bruce Douglas and George Montgomery and I was in awe.

NCAA did the Illini dirty by making that Elite Eight game a home game for Kentucky too. I think they changed the rule after that year if memory serves correctly.

Yes they did. That was one of the teams Henson got a ton out of.
