I decided to just listen to the fans and let them tell me. Then I heard them boo. This is a great win for our program. Nobody expected us to come in here and win, so we had nothing to lose. We were loose. The pressure was on them, and the rim got smaller for Illinois as the game wore on.
More Quotes from Ed DeChellis:
I think we're a very worthy team. If that's (Ohio State) the number one team in our conference ... You saw a pretty good game out there. We're a team that's improved since the year's gone on. I hope our kids get the chance to play in the NIT.Ed DeChellis
For 35 minutes, we were in good shape. We made a very good run at this thing, but it just didn't happen for us. ... We had our opportunities but didn't make some critical shots when we needed to.

My big concern now is, we can't let a situation where we had a nice win on the road be the highlight of the season. Beginning today, we need to refocus on what we're all about and that's the last seven games, and trying to get better in practice every day.

You're not going to win many games shooting 25 percent. I thought offensively we were just really bad tonight.
Ed DeChellis
Guys were excited to get back to work. We thought we improved as a program, but no one is satisfied, believe me. Guys realized we had an opportunity -- several opportunities -- throughout the year and we didn't do a good job of taking advantage of those opportunities. We felt like we should have had a couple more wins.

I thought Wisconsin was on all cylinders in the first half and really shot the ball well and played well.
