McCamey, Tisdale lead comeback

Bruce Weber can do what he wants with his starting lineup, but if Illinois is going to have its best players on the floor, Demetri McCamey had better be one of them.

McCamey and Mike Tisdale, with an assist from D.J. Richardson, led a second-half onslaught that helped the Illini overcome a 15-point deficit and post a 66-60 victory Saturday night in Bloomington, Ind.

With 8:23 to go, Indiana scored to take a nine-point lead. From that point forward, Illinois finished the game on an 18-3 run, quieting a Hoosier crowd that changed "Shut up Weber!" several times during the evening.
