Groce credits team for finishing strong

By: Aaron Bennett

Updated: December 12, 2012

CHAMPAIGN - The Illini are 11-0 after last night's win over Norfolk State, but everybody including head coach John Groce says they have to play better if they want to keep their undefeated run alive.

Last night's game was close the whole way before Illinois finally pulled away down the stretch. It has been a theme in some of these close wins, where Illinois ramps up the intensity during crunch time.
