Illinois Basketball: Illini Defense and John Groce Need to Step Up

Illinois is now 1-3 early on in the season and they are average losing those three games by 5 points. They have some really good talent on this team that I believe will blossom into superstar players. I am not going back on that statement.

Jalen Coleman-Lands shot 0-5 yesterday but I give him a bit of a pass. He only logged 19 minutes so he didn’t see a full slate of action. He is young so he has the pass for now.

Michael Finke and Aaron Jordan both came off the bench and played well too.
