Rivals: Illinois picked #3 in Big Ten preview; Demetri McCamey #11 in national point guard rankings

Illinois fans have ridden a roller-coaster since a 2005 national championship game appearance. Perhaps this season will be another peak. Mike Tisdale and Mike Davis are back in the frontcourt, and PG Demetri McCamey, who can be as good as anyone in the country when he's on, also returns. All three are seniors.
