    The Illinois basketball team earned grades for their frontcourt (B), backcourt (B-), bench (C-), and overall performance (C) against Michigan. Mike Davis had 13 points and 12 rebounds and Mike Tisdale nearly had a double-double to lead the frontcourt. Demetri McCamey fell just short of a triple-double and DJ Richardson defended well, though the backcourt struggled shooting. Only Brandon Paul played significant minutes off the bench. The summary emphasizes that while an ugly win, the game was important for Illinois to avoid another loss.

    Frontcourt: B

    Mike Davis backed up his double-


    double at Purdue with 13 points and
    12 rebounds vs. Michigan. With Mike
    Tisdale one point short of a double-
    double (nine points, 11 rebounds),
    the Illini made the Wolverines pay for
    going small.
    Backcourt: B-
    Demetri McCamey might have lived
    up to his pre-game prediction of
    reaching a triple-double if his team-
    mates had made some shots. It
    seemed like McCamey might have
    actually had more than a career-
    high nine rebounds. D.J. Richardson
    didn’t shoot well, but he hounded
    Michigan’s Manny Harris.
    Bench: C-
    Coach Bruce Weber didn’t go far
    down his bench. Brandon Paul was
    the only reserve to log more than 4
    minutes.
    Overall: C
    The bottom line is the most impor-
    tant thing to the Illini, who couldn’t
    afford a loss in Crisler Arena. An
    ugly win was no problem for Illinois,
    who already swallowed enough
    ugly losses in the non-conference
    season. The game against Minnesota
    on Saturday is also a win-or-else
    kind of game.
