Frontcourt: D Forward Mike Davis bounced back, but center Mike Tisdale sat because of foul trouble.
Backcourt: DJunior pont guard Demetri McCamey suffered through a horrible first half that put the Illini in the hole. The freshmen guards are still adjusting to life on the road.
Bench: C Jeff Jordan gave the Illini credible minutes. His role is increasing, and he gives Illinois some flexibility if other guards are off.
Overall: D Illinois collapsed in the loss to Utah Firday. It looked like the Illini didn’t fully recover, starting slow and never getting in sync against Bradley. The Braves — and the rest of the state’s mid-majors — get a chance to crow. Grades by JOHN SUPINIE
