Jake Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Feel bad that this group of seniors played so well and got nothing to show for it. Miami made some great plays down the stretch but I don't feel like the final score is indicative of who played best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 On the bright side, Groce outcoached Larranaga by a ton. That's a huge plus going forward, but I'm worried that we won't have the same kind of talent going forward either. Hope he can recruit, too!

Â I think he can easily get the talent level back to the level of this squad, but Brandon Paul's ability to either single-handedly win a game for his team or lose a game might not be easily replaced. Groce did coach well tonight, as Larranaga made some terrible decisions during this game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were some major negatives of having him as the main option, but the positives will be very hard to replace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Biggest issue, in my opinion, is that you're losing 3 players who spread the court very well and bringing in a lot of guys more known for their mid-range game. Not quite sure where the perimeter scoring will come from them the next few years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LittleHurt05 Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Illini came to play, I can't be too upset, it's nice to have fun in the NCAA tourney again. If DJ could have hit a couple threes, that game could have been won, but Miami is a damn good team and Illinois frustrated the hell out of them. Â Â Last year this same roster plus an NBA center finished under .500, funny what a difference a year can make. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not quite sure where the perimeter scoring will come from them the next few years. Â It'll be nice having guys with more game. And remember DJ was thought of that way too and he ended up being a 3 point specialist. Â Next year might be rough but i think the future is bright.

Illinois won't be good next year but Groce will recruit much better than Weber and Hill and Nunn will shoot well from 3 eventually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buehrle>Wood Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Illinois once got screwed so bad that they had to stop letting teams play homecourt tourney games. Here's to hoping this screwjob also changes the rules. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RockRaines Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Groce all class in the press conference. Not letting any player comment on the bad call. Smart move. Keep it positive focus on the seniors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
