[QUOTE="Calvin, post: 1283042, member: 4069"] I guess it depends on how you define quit. If you mean they didn't quit on the season, I agree. If you mean they play hard every game, and don't take breaks on the court, I disagree. They've either been lost or lackadaisical for half the season. I'm not suggesting it's intentional, just sayin. And I'll grant you every team has some ups and downs. We just seemed to really hit the down, hard. I've resigned myself to the season going either way. I've seen a lot of bad coaching from Groce. OTOH, he's managed to recruit way better than his results, and we are showing signs of life now that Lucas has gotten past the early learning curve and is running the show. All I know is that this resurgence has been fun to watch. We play like it matters. Guys are taking chances and making plays. And we've been playing defense. Not great defense, but dialed in defense. If that's a sign of the future, I'll take it. But half a season isn't what I'd call a trend, especially compared to the prior 2. And yes, I thought the injury plagued season was also terribly coached. If Whitman believes Groce is the future of Illinois basketball, I sure hope the last 3 weeks were a turning point. [/QUOTE]
