#illini Groce: I think (the break) allowed them to get their minds and bodies back right. Allowed them to focus on academics too

#Illini coach Groce: Egwu needs to slow down a bit on offense, wants to do well so badly. Works his tail off. Needs to understand speed.

#illini Groce: ran zone for 19 possessions vs. Ga Tech, it "charted out well." Didn't think they'd play it that much, more of a feel thing
