CHAMPAIGN - The Illini basketball team will play in front of the home fans for the first time in three weeks Saturday afternoon when they host Ohio State.
Head coach John Groce says he likes the way his team has played, but they have to find that extra punch when it comes to winning tough games in the Big Ten. It doesn't get much tougher than the Buckeyes, who come in with a 10-2 record and ranked 8th in the country.
Groce says he likes the way his team has bought in this year, but it is the little things that separate them from the best of the best.
