Illini have a lot of sloppiness to mop up

Not a good night (make that two nights) for Demetri McCamey. He had all kinds of trouble with Southern Indiana's point guard, Kevin Gant, who Watson just gushed over. "I think he's truly one of the finest point guards in the country," Watson said. "I've said that all along and people give me a half-cocked look. But I think he's one of the best point guards in the country. I can't say enough about how talented and tough he is."

Maybe so, but McCamey looked totally frustrated in the first half before having a slightly better second half. He did not make a field goal (0 for 6) and had seven assists to go with four turnovers.
