    Frontcourt: B

    After scoring 27 in the first meeting


    with Indiana, center Mike Tisdale
    quietly finished with 12 points, seven
    rebounds and three blocks. Freshman
    Tyler Griffey did nothing to get pulled
    from the starting lineup, and Bill Cole
    was solid.
    Backcourt: B-
    Demetri McCamey scored the game-
    winner with no time left on the clock,
    but the Illini were burnt by Indiana’s
    perimeter shooting.
    Bench: C-
    Forward Mike Davis, demoted from
    the starting lineup for the second
    straight game, sat for the first 11:30
    in the second half. The Illini bench
    was outscored 28-16 by the Indiana
    reserves.
    Overall: C
    Because the going gets tougher next
    weekend, the Illini need to play smart-
    er. Instead of building on a 13-point
    lead in the first half, the Illini let it slip
    away. Illinois was fortunate to escape
    the day without a loss. Sometimes it’s
    better to be lucky than good. When
    you’re a double-digit favorite, you
    shouldn’t have to rely on luck.
