MADISON - For an Illinois team that was on the bubble this time last week, this victory sure must feel good. The Illini went into the Kohl Center, where no other opponent has defeated Wisconsin this year, and knocked off the Badgers 63-56.
This is the second straight signature win for the Illini, who defeated Michigan State on Saturday, and they have Demetri McCamey to thank. After not hitting a field goal for the first 14 minutes of play, McCamey had one of his best games of the season, scoring 27 points.
Mike Tisdale also had 19 for the Illini.
