Illini cap memorable week with win at Minnesota

"Guys made big plays," Groce said after the Minnesota victory. "Guys have a really good spirit about them right now. There's great toughness, great togetherness and they're starting to trust the system better now.

"We can still get better. We have a couple days leading up to the Purdue game at home on Wednesday. We have kind of set the standard for how we want to play, with passion, togetherness and trust and we have to play like that Wednesday night."
