That John Groce power walk halfway across the court whenever he calls a timeout just pisses me off for some reason.

Agree with this 1000% it aggravates me that he never goes and talks to the guys like Izzo does.

I want the first five questions to Groce in the post game to revolve around why Kipper was on the bench for the first five minutes of the second half. They build the eight point lead that wins them the game while he sits. Unreal. I'm legitimately furious. First five questions, make him answer for this idiocy.

This is what happens when there is very low ball IQ with very little talent.

Very little talent? Not true... Less talent than expected Yes. Low basketball IQ + a coach that has no idea how to coach his team is a horrible combo

Has Groce ever changed the starting five to begin the 2nd half?

I have said this is the low point for Illinois basketball the last couple games. It's getting lower. This program will not have a quick fix.

Disagree. Fix shot selection, actually define roles and get a scheme that corrects our dependency on mid-range 2s and we are fine. We seriously have talent on this squad, we just are not developing it and guys really don't seem to have a strong feel for what they need to do to win out there. A new coach can fix a lot of those issues and if the recruiting class holds, you have a chance to be solid next year.

The team is so flat that it is absolutely disgusting. This is the final nail in Groce's coffin so to speak

You think there isn't very little talent. We have 1 player who should be starting on a mediocre big ten caliber team (Malcolm) and maybe Morgan. We have players that get a large amount of minutes that shouldn't be.

Exactly what I thought when the half started. How can you not have Nichols in at that time?


This coach seems to be detached from what is actually happening in the game re personnel.

S&C opined in the pregame thread that this game was our Waterloo.

Looks like we're headed to St. Helena.
