Groce: Good practice yesterday. Film showed we played well for 30 minutes but slow start buried us.
Groce: All in all, we did some good things. Some real bright spots in Nichols and Lucas.
Groce: Hill played well in 2H, JCole played well and Mav did some good things
Groce: Defensively we have to play better. Had some good stretches with a certain lineup but we have to be better.
Groce on Te'Jon and Kipper. "They'll play."
Groce: Thought it was in our best interest to play Kipper in those lineups.
Groce: We've got to impose more will on defensive end.
Groce: Kipper allows versatility to guard on perimeter and post and compete on backboard at same time.
Groce: We wrinkled a couple things pertaining to Michigan. There will be changes to lineup. It's nothing personal.
Groce: "We've got to be better defensively. I hate to keep wearing that out." No, it's worth repeating.
Groce: Certain guys have to be more consistent. I like having depth. I lived the alternative.
Groce: Guys have to buy in and embrace what they're doing role-wise when you have depth. Finding chemistry is a challenge.
Groce: We need some guys to stand out more and make it easier on the coaches to make those decisions and not be up and down.
Groce: Kipper can play both 4 and 3
Groce: I've emphasized to Leron is that he has such a gift to rebound that he impacts game at high level no matter if he scores
Groce: Thorne is great conditioning wise and health. Efficient offensively but must improve defensively.
