Demetri McCamey was just too much for the Spartans. "Playing without Lucas, it's no excuse. Everybody has to play without somebody," Michigan State coach Tom Izzo said. "I told McCamey he's twice the player he was when he played at our place. He's so much of a different player." McCamey, who lost his starting job earlier in the Big Ten season, had 22 points and 11 assists to lead Illinois to a 78-73 upset of No. 5 Michigan State on Saturday night, sending the Spartans to another loss without Lucas — who said he expects to play Tuesday against Purdue. The Illini led by a point at halftime and by seven in the game's final minutes. But they couldn't put the Spartans away until freshman D.J. Richardson hit a free throw with 15 seconds to play for a 76-73 lead. Mike Davis (FSY) added 16 points for Illinois. Draymond Green's 17 points and 16 rebounds led Michigan State without Lucas, who sprained his right ankle in a loss to Wisconsin on Tuesday. "I told them it didn't matter, they were still going to come at us, they have a lot of weapons," Illinois coach Bruce Weber said. "Tom exerts his intensity, his will to be successful. Those kids just play off of that." Illinois (16-8, 8-3) got within a game of the first-place Spartans (19-5, 9-2) in the Big Ten. Richardson and McCamey finished off the Spartans in the game's final minutes. McCamey hit a 3 with 37 seconds to play and with MSU forced to foul, Richardson made three free throws in the final 26 seconds and Davis slammed home a dunk at the buzzer as the crowd rushed the court at the Assembly Hall. Lucas nearly helped the Spartans win from the bench. With the Spartans trailing 57-64 and 7:17 remaining, he got into the huddle and told his teammates to calm down. Then he pulled his replacement, Korie Lucious, aside for a one-on-one chat. When play resumed, Lucas could be seen sitting next to Izzo, a spot usually reserved for assistant coaches. The Spartans eventually got within a point, making it 66-65 with 3:44 remaining, but never regained control. They were down two points with less than a minute to go, but McCamey's last three-pointer of the night essentially iced it. Illinois finished 8 for 18 on 3s. "I'm 50% proud of my team," Izzo said. "But disappointed. We just gave them 3 after 3 after 3." The Spartans fought back from an early 10-point hole to make it 35-34 at halftime, and even briefly took the lead in the second half. McCamey opened the second half with 10 points in nine minutes to keep Illinois in the game. At times, he appeared to be the Illini's only option. His back-to-back 3s put the Illini up 53-47 lead with 13:10 to play, but Michigan State scored the next five points, and went ahead after McCamey missed a three-pointer on the next possession and Chris Allen made one with 11:21 to go. Illinois tied the game at 55 with 10:05 remaining on a putback by Mike Tisdale. A minute later, Brandon Paul's dunk gave Illinois a 59-57 lead and started a 7-0 run. "We made our runs and they made theirs," McCamey said. "They kept coming back again and again."

Fabio Capello must be relatively pleased as his team will also face Switzerland, Bulgaria and Montenegro following the draw in Warsaw. England last played Wales back in 2005 in a World Cup qualifier, claiming a 1-0 win in Cardiff with Joe Cole grabbing the winner. Scotland have a tough test with new manager Craig Levein seeing his side placed in the same group as holders Spain. Czech Republic, Lithuania and Liechtenstein complete Group I. Republic of Ireland, cruelly denied a place at the World Cup finals after their controversial defeat to France, may feel they are capable of progressing from Group B, which contains Russia, Slovakia, FYR Macedonia, Armenia and Andorra. Nigel Worthington's Northern Ireland face a stiff challenge having been drawn in Group C with world champions Italy, Serbia, Slovenia, Estonia and Faroe Islands. As well as local rivals Wales, England face Switzerland, who were the opponents in Fabio Capello's first game in charge, a 2-1 Wembley win. England have never faced Montenegro as an independent nation, but did face Serbia and Montenegro back in 2003. Capello said before the draw he was hoping for a five-team group, so will have been reasonably satisfied. Former England manager Terry Venables believes Capello's side have been given a tough draw. "I think that's one of the harder groups," he told Sky Sports News. "But when you are one the favourites you've just got to say anyone will do. "The top seeds are way ahead of everybody else. "I think Switzerland are a difficult team. I think they've improved tremendously the last few years." John Toshack is relishing the chance to cross swords with Capello at home and away. "Without doubt, drawing England will please all the Welsh fans - there's plenty of history there and we like nothing better than another chance against the old enemy," he stated. "I know Fabio Capello quite well, so will look forward to being able to pit our talents against a powerful England team later in the year." Group A: Germany, Turkey, Austria, Belgium, Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan. Group B: Russia, Slovakia, Republic of Ireland, FYR Macedonia, Armenia, Andorra. Group C: Italy, Serbia, Northern Ireland, Slovenia, Estonia, Faroe Islands. Group D: France, Romania, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Belarus, Albania, Luxembourg. Group E: Holland, Sweden, Finland, Hungary, Moldova, San Marino. Group F: Croatia, Greece, Israel, Latvia, Georgia, Malta. Group G: England, Switzerland, Bulgaria, Wales, Montenegro. Group H: Portugal, Denmark, Norway, Cyprus, Iceland. Group I: Spain, Czech Republic, Scotland, Lithuania, Liechtenstein.ENGLAND GET WALES IN 2012 DRAW
Scotland face tough test
The hired lackey was sent to Junior's school without letting his dad Peter Andre know - and broke the news to the five-year-old that he had a stepdaddy. Meanwhile big-boobed bride Jordan, who flew back to Britain with her new hubby yesterday, has asked ALEX to ADOPT her eldest son Harvey. The disabled eight-year-old calls Peter "Dad". An insider told us: "What's so bad about all of this is there's no discussion and no thought for anyone else. "When she wants to do something, she just gets up and does it without any thought about the consequences for others." Mum-of-three Jordan - real name Katie Price - went to Las Vegas last weekend without telling her kids she was getting married on Tuesday. On Wednesday, while she was recovering from a boozy wedding night at a strip club, the nanny turned up at Junior's school. But by Friday Jordan was seen shopping WITHOUT her £75,000 wedding ring - raising questions over whether the fledgling marriage was already on the rocks. Then yesterday afternoon - when the couple arrived to a camera frenzy at London's Heathrow airport - the ring was back on. Meanwhile, a source close to Katie, 31, said little Junior was confused. "He spent a lot of time with Alex before Celebrity Big Brother, then there'd been no contact for over a month because Alex had been in the CBB house," said the insider. "Then all of a sudden he's being told Alex is his mummy's new husband and his stepdaddy. "He doesn't know what to make of it all." He's not the only one... Meanwhile a school insider described how the boy was told. "Katie realised it was possible that Junior would have heard about it from one of the other kids or a teacher," said the source. "So she decided it would be better coming from one of his nannies. "She asked one to go to Junior's school to break the news. The school staff were surprised but assumed Peter knew about it." However the singer, 36, only found out that night - after his infamous grilling by Sky News's Kay Burley which reduced him to tears. He'd agreed to look after son Junior and daughter Princess, two, last week while his ex-wife was on "holiday" in Las Vegas. Our source said: "Some relatives picked up Junior from school while Peter came home from Sky. "They heard from someone at the school what had happened. "It was probably the last thing Peter needed - he'd already had the day from hell." Last night Andre's spokeswoman said of the nanny's visit: "I understand it is true but Peter will not talk about private matters to do with his children." The doting dad is also dealing with another blow - the fact Jordan has asked Alex, 34, to adopt eight-year-old Harvey, her son with footballer Dwight Yorke. Alex has said no - fearing it will upset Yorke and Peter - who has spoken of his desire to adopt the boy. On Wednesday Peter's tears started after Burley showed him a video of Yorke accusing him of being "disrespectful" by trying to become Harvey's legal dad. Then Peter walked out when Burley asked how he would feel if Alex tried to adopt his kids. A source close to Jordan said: "Katie is always talking about Alex adopting Harvey but he says, 'I don't think it's fair for Harvey.' "She tells him, 'Harvey needs stability in his life and he loves you.' And that is very true. "Harvey adores Alex and Alex loves him so much. He's a complete natural with kids and they play fight together all the time. "But Alex knows it would open a can of worms with Peter and Dwight if it became anything official. "It's not worth it." Alex has told how he wants to have a family of his own with his new wife - possibly starting with adopted kids from overseas. When Jordan was told of Peter's TV meltdown, she yelled out: He's a pussy." A source said: "The way she was having a go at Peter was outrageous. This was meant to be her honeymoon but she was still obsessed by her ex. "She wanted to know everything about the interview. "Then when Alex was talking on the phone to a friend in the UK about it, she was yelling in the background Pete was a pussy." We expect Peter's well used to the Jor ache after all this time...Katie Price couldn't be bothered to phone her boy

Lawyers for Doctor Conrad Murray want to use old video footage of spaced-out Jacko to demonstrate the depth of his drug habit. Personal physician Murray is set to stand trial on an involuntary manslaughter charge for delivering a fatal drug cocktail overdose to the megastar in June last year. His legal team hope Jackson's appearance from beyond the grave - which sounds like something straight out of his famous zombie video Thriller - will show Murray can't be guilty. Instead, they will suggest that the King of Pop knew how to self- administer and battled pill addiction for over 17 years. And in another wacko twist in the courtroom drama, Murray's legal team will also call two of Jacko's three CHILDREN to the stand. They want Prince, 12, and 11-year-old Paris to discuss how their father constantly complemented Murray and claimed that he was "making him better". Key videos will include footage of frail Jacko during his This Is It rehearsals and a 2007 court deposition where he discusses his pain medication. The defence will also show images from 2004 where he slurs his words and appears drunk in rehearsals for a film role at his Neverland home library. Jackson's sister La Toya is furious that Murray is contesting any charges - and has urged cops to push for a murder case. A legal source close to Murray, who will be charged in an LA court tomorrow, said: "Murray's legal team have quietly but steadily been building a robust defence case. "A key element will be on-camera interviews Michael Jackson gave where he discusses and admits his drug use and others where he appears to be intoxicated. "In effect, Michael Jackson himself will be the defence's star witness as they set out to prove he was a seasoned and habitual user and knew how to self-administer. "The interviews and other evidence aim to show that Jackson had been addicted to prescription drugs for at least 15 years. "They will try to prove that Jackson was in poor health and therefore the build-up of drugs and the effects of further doses were increased tenfold because of a weakened system. "For these reasons, they will say Murray is not culpable and should therefore be found not guilty." The News Of The World revealed last year how Murray claimed Jackson, 51, was an expert in running IV drips, including one for the drug Propofol - which he overdosed on. Jacko's dependency on painkillers started in 1984 after pyrotechnics used in filming his Pepsi advert set his his hair on fire. He also took Valium, Xanax and Ativan after a civil lawsuit from alleged child abuse vistim Jordan Chandler in 1993. Despite a rehab stint, he was back on the drugs, which were found by cops who raided the Neverland ranch in 2004. In his last year Jacko was necking painkillers - Demerol, Dilaudid and Vicodin - all at the same time. The cocktail also included muscle relaxant Soma, anti-depressant Zoloft, anti- anxiety pill Paxil, sedative Xanax and heartburn tablet Prilosec. The singer's autopsy showed he had lethal amounts of anaesthesia drug Propofol in his system when he died, along with a mix of other prescriptions. LaToya - who famously told us last July that she felt Jackson was murdered - spoke out after Murray returned to LA last week to surrender to cops. She said: "He should be charged with murder, not manslaughter. It is terribly wrong." Brother Jermaine, referring to Jackson arrest on child abuse charges, added: "Murray should be cuffed, he should be fingerprinted, he should have his mugshot just like they did my brother! "It's all on the doctor. It could be first-degree murder, it could be whatever - Michael's not coming back, so where's the closure?" Last week Murray visited Jacko's crypt at Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Glendale, California. He was seen walking up to the doors then sitting down on a wall outside as he paused for reflection. A Jackson family insider said they were "shocked and upset" that Murray went to the star's final resting place. The insider added: "It just seems like a calculated PR stunt before he's brought to trial." Currently the LAPD and the district attorney are arguing over how Murray will enter court, either as a volunteer or in handcuffs. He is likely to be given $25,000 bail. Sources say Murray could avoid a trial by plea bargaining a deal to a suspended sentence with a guilty admission. Last night a spokesman for Dr Murray had no comment.Michael Jackson to give evidence from beyond grave..for the defence
POP legend Michael Jackson will make the ultimate comeback... by giving evidence at his OWN death trial as the star witness for the DEFENCE.
