‘We should have won' - Illinois loses to Maryland, 69-61

Illinois coach Bruce Weber didn't scream to get his points across in the locker room after the Illini's 69-61 loss to Maryland in a Big Ten-ACC Challenge game Wednesday at the Comcast Center.

The first message -- "that we should have won,'' said senior forward Brian Randle -- was impossible when Randle, senior center Shaun Pruitt and junior guard Chester Frazier, the team's most experienced players, played more like newcomers they were supposed to carry. There was no denying it.
