Groce confident he can turn Illini around | |
March 30, 2012 John Groce was introduced Thursday as the Illinis new coach, just days removed from leading Ohio University to the Sweet 16, the Bobcats deepest NCAA tournament run in nearly 50 years. He will be taking over a team that has missed the tournament three of the last five years. He insists the Illini can become a power. I thought to myself, Illinois, why not? Why cant we become the standard for excellence among those Big Ten teams competing for championships, earning the right to do that? And by doing that you become a player on the national stage, he said. The answer was, we can. Source: http://dailyherald.com/article/20120329/sports/703299881/ |
