EVANSTON -- John Groce, Chris Collins, Tre Demps and Scottie Lindsey addressed the media following Northwestern's down-to-the-wire 58-56 victory over Illinois.
John Groce, Illinois head coach
- Groce took a very glass-half-full approach to his team's loss. He was really proud of how hard his guys played. He noted that his team out-rebounded Northwestern by nine, which he thought was really impressive given that the Wildcats rank fourth in the conference in offensive rebounding.
- Groce said he had to burn a timeout mid-way through the second half because his guys were tired, and that's why he didn't have one left to use in the final possession of regulation.
