Bye Groce

Thank god they lost. I can't believe people were entertaining bringing him back because they beat a bunch of mediocre teams.

The Big ten is hot garbage.

Insightful as always.

I know....................So glad they lost Groce time at Illinois should be over a week from Monday.

Something ironic about him likely losing his job after the TV replay given how his career started

Classic Groce.

Yeah, I was conservative in my Groce criticism, but I'm ready to move on.

 

There's plenty of talent on this squad, but they look poorly coached.

Redbirds. :headbang

Illinois losing puts them out and puts Kansas State in, says CBS. Irony

College basketball has a dunk contest during the Final four and the last spot is done by fan voting. A guy from my alma mater (SEMO) is in the semi finals. If you could go to darkhorsedunker.com and vote for Antonius Cleveland that would be awesome! You can vote once per day per device.

 

Only a few hours left to go and Cleveland is down by .15%. Please send a vote his way this morning! Thanks!

Reading some rumors that Crean to Mizzou is getting close.

I'm SHOCKED that the team that was almost involved in a horrific plane crash and had to adjust their schedules and take an early flight to DC with no practice time came out with more energy/efficiency than a Groce-led team. SHOCKED.

That would suck. Mizzou would be better and Indiana could likely get better too

Huggins vs Bruce Weber. Lol

It's official: Illinois has fired John Groce

About 2 years too late.

Marshall is at the top of the list apparently. Please happen...

Woj report:

Sources: Illinois willing to make Monty Williams one of NCAA’s top paid coaches, but he'll pass. He’s focused on prompt NBA coaching return.

 

Sounds like they will be big spenders

Whitman set quite a precedent with Lovie Smith. Might as well spend the money and get it right the first time. I would think Cuonzo Martin, maybe.

 

As far as off the grid candidates, I'd take a flyer on Becky Hammon.

Edited by Sox-35th

Archie Miller, Keaton Keats (sp?) and Gregg Marshall are my top candidates

Yes Thad. Please bring Groce back

So the ink is barely dry, and they are already being turned down.

Yeah, when you shoot for an NBA guy, that's what happens. You get turned down. If you don't get turned down, you're not aiming high enough.

 

Get over this Illinois "woe is me" narrative. It's nauseating.
