Illinois forward Marcus Domask on the win against Maryland: “There’s no question everybody knows they’ve kind of had our number the past years. To come in here on the road in a hostile environment, and I know they had some stuff for their students. I know they were excited for this one but to come in here and get the win means a lot.”
