Illini go from one frying pan into another

"I definitely think last weekend was kind of a shocker to everyone,'' Illinois forward Bill Cole said. "I really don't think this is how the season will play out.

"We have to look forward to Clemson, just focus on beating every nonconference team and just get better. Now we realize we need to get better. That's a good thing. I'd like to turn over a new leaf and kick some butt. We knew we weren't the greatest team in the world, but that was a humbling experience.''
