McCamey gets 27, Illinois shocks No. 11 Wisconsin

The Badgers built a 22-11 lead while only Tisdale could find the basket, hitting every field goal for the Illini until just over 6 minutes to play in the first half.

''Tis' kept us in (it), and I just knew I had to take over and help my team to a victory,'' McCamey said.

He did.

McCamey, the Big Ten player of the week for his performances against Iowa and the Spartans, scored 15 of Illinois' final 20 points of the half and the Illini hit 10 consecutive shots straddling halftime to erase the double-digit deficit.
