After easy 78-63 romp over Western Michigan, Illinois turns attention to North Carolina

"I look at it as North Carolina beat us for the national championship," said Illini guard Demetri McCamey. "Even though I wasn't a part of that team, you can take that and run with it. You can show it's a different story this time around."

Illinois coach Jerrance Howard "keeps saying its personal," said Illini freshman Jereme Richmond. "It cost us the national title. It's a different team with a different mindset, but we want to win that game."
