CHAMPAIGN — You’ll forgive Coleman Hawkins for claiming he hasn’t thought much about Tuesday night being his final home game at State Farm Center. He honestly never thought he was going to get to this moment in his college basketball career.
Hawkins can point to several moments in four-year career where the 6-foot-10 forward had put Champaign-Urbana and the University of Illinois in his rearview mirror.
