Illini Get a Sharpshooter: Former Dayton backup guard Trent Meacham has transferred to Illinois to play for coach Bruce Weber and the Illini. Meacham averaged 6.4 points and 2.7 assists per game last year, playing in every game for the Flyers. He also shot 46 percent from three-point range, which will help Weber maintain a guard-oriented attack in years to come. Meacham must sit out this season according to NCAA rules for transfers. He will have three remaining years of eligibility starting in 2006-07.
