So much for shocking No. 1 Ohio State

"No doubt, Ohio State is a very, very good team," said Illinois coach Bruce Weber. "I even said it to our coaches at halftime: They're better than I even thought on the outside. I think the best thing about them is they're so unselfish. They know if something's not going for one guy, they're smart enough to get the ball to the guy that can make the basket.

"I said in the press conference the other day, I think (Michigan coach John) Beilein said the best thing about them: 'They don't care about their shot. They care about the best shot.'"
