Illinois dominates....

How dominant was Illinois last night?

Ask Wake Forest coach Skip Prosser.

He said his Demon Deacons "obviously lost to a much better team."

He said, "We couldn't guard them man to man."

He said, "They defeated us collectively as well as individually."

Prosser was asked about the loud crowd.

He said, "The game was not decided by the crowd. … Our problem was not the crowd. Our problem was Illinois."

But what about … ?

"They played infinitely better than we did," the Wake Forest coach said once and for all. "I don't know how much more clearly I can say it."
