First year Groce was here we were within a possession of beating 2 seed Miami to get to the sweet 16, he can coach, is he Gregg Marshall or Izzo? No
We have not had a great roster to even know, no NBA players and terrible point guard play. Lucas has changed that and if he didn't have to come out the other day with foul trouble we probably win. The idea that Groce can't coach at all is ridiculous, Tate, Abrams, Hill, Black and Morgan is a very avg team at best, Lucas made it a lot better. He will win with this talent, now if you can get a great coach maybe you do it
I'm sorry, if you need to go back 5 years to defend a coach who wasn't playing with a roster of his guys, while pointing to a one-off game. You've already lost the argument. There is next to nothing in the last 4 years of Illinois basketball under JG that should make anyone think that he's the answer for this program going forward.
