Good vibrations coming from Illinois basketball

Look and listen for yourself and you'll discover that Groce is not afraid to say how much he likes these kids.

"I'm the luckiest guy in the world," he said after the 75-62 victory against the Yellow Jackets. "I have some older guys who really care about the game, care about our team. They want to be really good and they let our staff coach them and get on them, which for seniors is huge.

"We're really thankful for that."
