Groce hopes for hot postseason hand at Illinois

CHAMPAIGN – First-year Illinois coach John Groce’s teams have a way of turning it on for the postseason.

In Groce’s four seasons at Ohio, the Bobcats went to the NCAA tournament twice, racking up wins over Georgetown in 2010 and Michigan in 2012 before losing a close one to North Carolina in the Sweet 16.

He’s about to find out if his Illini have that kind of postseason fire in them.
