Demetri McCamey playmaker for Illinois basketball

"You have to be in control of the game," McCamey said. "We could push it, we could slow it down,. You have to make the right decision every time. It's easy to make decisions, but it's not always what the coach wants it to be. Especially after a point guard like Deron, he'll be on you. He wants you to get to the next level."

McCamey has had some erratic games, and Weber has chastised him for being too quick to fire up three-pointers -- he's shooting 32.7 on threes. He leads the Illini with five 20-point games, including a season-high 25 in the home victory over Wisconsin.
