By Staff     Mar 20, 2011

**1. Markieff Morris:** Dominated down low and had 24 points and 12 rebounds, including 14 and 7 in the second half.

**2. Marcus Morris:** Made amazing hang-in-the-air moves, a killer turn-around jumper and crashed the boards with purpose. Finished with 17 points and 12 rebounds.

**3. Tyshawn Taylor:** With the help of big men on the perimeter, he did a terrific job of containing Illinois point guard Demetri McCamey, limiting him to six points.

**4. Brady Morningstar:** Had another terrific passing night and hit a huge three from the top of the key in the second half. Had six assists, one turnover and one steal.

**5. Thomas Robinson:** Twins played so exceptionally well that it didn’t leave many minutes for Robinson. He made the most of those he got, picking up four points, three rebounds and a blocked shot in 11 minutes. Took an ill-advised jumper in the second half.

**6. Elijah Johnson:** Taylor got whistled for his second foul midway through the first half and Johnson played terrific defense on McCamey in Taylor’s absence.

**7. Tyrel Reed:** Couldn’t get his shot to drop. He made 1 of 7 shots, including 1 of 5 three-pointers. Played well defensively and didn’t turn it over in 32 minutes.

**8. Josh Selby:** Did not attempt a shot in 10 minutes, but made a few nice passes and was credited with two assists. Lost his man defensively and was burned for a three-point shot.

**9. Mario Little:** Had a put-back, but that didn’t keep him from getting the quick hook for getting abused defensively.

**10. Travis Releford:** Played one minute.
