Minnesota Recap

The Illini looked like a different team tonight in their 84-60 win over Minnesota. Box Score

They played solid defense, had no problems shooting or scoring, and Weber used a longer rotation of players in the game, with 15 minutes for Tisdale and Davis. McCamey is learning the point guard role, evidenced by his 11 assists, and Meacham was hot from three point range, hitting all 5 of his shots. The team hit an amazing 59% from the field on the way to their high scoring game of the season. Free throws were also impressive at 71% for the game. A total of 9 players played 10 minutes or more, which was the secret to the team's early success in Maui.

If we see this team play Penn State in the next game, we have a nice chance for another road victory.
