VandeerMeer Key in UIC's Upset Win

Post by BGSU Crazy Fan 58 »

Our old buddy Scott VandeerMeer had a nice night in helping Illinois-Chicago upset #12 ranked Butler in Overtime.
From espn.com's game recap:

UIC center Scott VandeerMeer had 11 points -- 10 in the first half -- and added 10 rebounds and six blocks. Stefanov added 11 points and Othyus Jeffers had nine points and 12 rebounds.

At 6-11, VandeerMeer had four inches on the tallest Bulldog. He also said he played with some extra weight on his shoulder.

"I watched them on TV and I understood why they were 12, but it made me mad," he said. "I thought we have a good team, we should be where they are. I went in with a chip on my shoulder because I think we're just as good."
