Illinois 75, Colgate 55: 'Tonight was his dream'

On the other end of the arena in Section A37, Larry Groce's chest swelled with pride as he watched his son celebrate a 75-55 win against Colgate.

"Tonight was his dream; he's coached college basketball before at Ohio, but this is his dream to be right here in the Big Ten," said Dad, decked out in an orange Illinois polo and blue Illini baseball cap. "This is a big deal for us."
