COLIN FLY, Feb 9, 2010
Illinois celebrated with all its fans on Saturday. The cheers coming from the Illini locker room on Tuesday night were even sweeter. Demetri McCamey scored 27 points and Mike Tisdale added 19 on 8-of-11 shooting to lead Illinois to a 63-56 upset over No. 11 Wisconsin, snapping the Badgers' 51-0 home record against unranked Big Ten opponents under coach Bo Ryan. ...More

Illinois Team Report Feb 8, 2010

When Illinois' season had gone smoothly, Bruce Weber could have stuck with his original starting five the whole way: Junior point guard Demetri McCamey, freshman wings D.J. Richardson and Brandon Paul, junior power forward Mike Davis and junior center Mike Tisdale.

But McCamey practiced lackadaisically during the first two months, so Weber put him on the bench as a message. That worked just fine: McCamey's 22 points and 11 assists—a continuation of his recent fine play—led Illinois to a 78-73 win over No. 5 Michigan State on Saturday.
