Illinois guard Demetri McCamey scored 17 points, grabbed three rebounds, and distributed seven assists in a 73-62 win over UNLV. McCamey did commit six turnovers in the game though.
This was McCamey's first NCAA Tournament win in his career. If he hopes to win another, the Illini will have to beat #1 seed Kansas on Sunday night. Kansas is coached by former Illinois head coach, Bill Self.
