Illinois opens the slate with a impeccable 8-0 record, I thought it was time to share some thoughts.
Last year Illinois opens the season at 15-2 then BIG 10 season started and the wheels came off as this brutal conference takes hold. Last year this Illinois team under Weber was TIMID. They played scared as the shot clock wound down to zero and Illinois would chuck up a desperation shot. The players played scared because they knew miss that shot and you will be benched, And they were.
There is a new Coach in town for Illinois and his name is John Groce. He is all about intensity and attacking on both ends of the floor. Under is early leadership he has found the keys to the puzzle with this team.
Brandon Paul is a stud for Illinois (write that down) this is going to be a very dangerous team to play in the dance should they make it.
Keep your eye on Illinois this year they are playing very differently in a real positive sense. They have talent and Senior Leadership this new coach is tweaking it up.
