Updated: January 9, 2013

CHAMPAIGN - Tonight was a special night for former Illini Mannie Jackson. His banner was raised to the rafters at Assembly Hall during a ceremony at halftime.

Jackson was the first African-American letterwinner at Illinois. He went on to play for the Harlem Globetrotters before buying the Globetrotters in 1993.
