Another curious moment in McCamey's career

McCamey had asked that he not start and that freshman Crandall Head, who had played seven minutes in Big Ten games, get the opportunity. Against the No. 2 team in the country. On the road. With an NCAA Tournament berth hanging in the balance.

"It's something I told Coach Weber since I haven't been playing good and Crandall has been battling in practice, I told him just to give him a chance to go out since they've been playing better than me," McCamey said. "I felt it was being a good teammate to give them the opportunity to come out and play as well.

"It was for the betterment of the team, and I think everyone played well who started the game. I think I'll be back in there next game because Iowa is probably the biggest game of the year coming up. It was just a decision I made."
