    The frontcourt played well, with Mike Davis scoring in the first half and Mike Tisdale continuing his strong 3-point shooting. Bill Cole defended Stony Brook's star player well. The backcourt got off to a slow start but Demetri McCamey led Illinois to a win, while D.J. Richardson hit some clutch shots. A second half run by Brandon Paul off the bench helped Illinois extend their lead. Overall, Illinois played well enough to avoid an upset loss to Stony Brook and advance, though the performance was nothing spectacular given the weaker opponent.

    Frontcourt: A-

    The big men took control, like you


    would expect against a low-major.
    Mike Davis took over in the first half,
    and Mike Tisdale is still hot from the
    3-point line. Bill Cole played admi-
    rable defense on Stony Brook star
    Muhammad El-Amin.
    Backcourt: B
    Demetri McCamey got off to a slow
    start but directed the Illini to a win.
    D.J. Richardson hit some clutch
    perimeter shots.
    Bench: C
    A spurt by Brandon Paul early in the
    second half helped the Illini get some
    breathing room.
    Overall: B
    This was less about the opponent
    and more about the challenge of
    playing on the road against a low
    major team making its first appear-
    ance of any kind in postseason since
    moving to Division I in 1999. Illinois
    avoided a bad loss, something that
    Arizona State failed to do. Now Illinois
    comes home to Assembly Hall. If they
    keep winning, the Illini would play two
    games before advancing to the semfi-
    nals in Madison Square Garden.
