Illinois 63, Gardner-Webb 62: 'Seniors die hard'

Griffey, one of four Illini to tie for team-high honors with 13 points, scored all of his in the second half for Illinois (7-0).

On the list of big shots he's hit, Griffey said Sunday's three is up there. The confidence can be traced to that pregame routine.

"Just grooving it, feeling my shot. I can almost tell, when I'm on I kind of just sit down and as guys filter in and let them warm up. It usually gets me prepared," Griffey said. "Brandon (Paul) made a great read, great pass. I knew it was good as soon as I let it go."
