Reggie Corbin had a Jason Heyward-like speech during #illini's upset No. 6 Wisconsin, @isaac_trotter2 reports.

Perhaps the best post-game interview moment was #Illini LB Jake Hansen walking into the interview room with a cigar, yelling "31 point spread, huh?"
"It's a big F you," he said of the validation of upsetting No. 6 Wisconsin 24-23.
