Students asking entire crowd to remain quiet until Illini score 10th point, then erupt in cheers

To recognize Coach Groce's inaugural game, the Orange Krush student section encourages everyone in attendance to join them by participating in "Orange Hush." As a tribute to Groce's alma mater, Taylor University, Krush will replicate Taylor's famous tradition of "Silent Night," where at one designated game each season, the entire gym remains silent from tip-off until the Trojans score their 10th point. When that 10th point is scored, the crowd then erupts into a wild celebration.
