Illini Take Third Place in Maui with Win over OSU

OSU did not look very good against the Illini, but I watched the Cowboys this week, and they are an athletic team with some possibilities as they mature.

-Trent Meacham had a nice game and was the leading scorer off the bench.
-Frazier is steady and solid this year at PG. Watching him live you appreciate his defense and rebounding more than on TV. His mistakes are limited these days.
-McCamey had a solid game with some assists and good leadership on the floor.
-Brock was the second leading scorer, was all tourney team for Illini, and played well enough to make the starting lineup today.
-Pruitt did a little better, but still needs to get back to his old game from last year.
-Alexander is an awesome athlete, and a great addition to this team.
-Randle has a deep bruise on his leg, so he sat out with ice on his leg.
-Tis, Cole and DAvis looked good in the game.

The Illini defense was really solid in this game, holding OSU to horrible shooting for the game. Like last year, Illinois will win games with their defense this season. Rebounding by the team is very impressive also.
