#illini Groce: Gonzaga is "well-rounded." "I don't know if they have a weakness." They have depth, skill, athleticism, play hard, efficient

#Illini coach Groce: Concerned about their rebounding, they're great in post, use three-point shot effectively with Bell and Pangos.

#illini Groce: We've got to play with that same toughness, togetherness, energy level (as Maui) on Saturday if they want to win.

#Illini coach Groce: Gonzaga is best offensive rebounding team to this point they have faced.
