'Mind games' help McCamey become a weapon for Illinois

Following the loss to the Buckeyes, the season is at a key juncture for the Illini, making the matchup with the Boilermakers even more important.

In his role as co-captain, McCamey says he talked to his teammates after the Ohio State loss to emphasize what needs to happen going forward.

"I think we're fine," he says. "It's just one game, but I told them you don't want it turn into a bad stretch for three games. It's important now to practice hard and focus and go to Purdue ready to play."
