CHAMPAIGN - Illinois basketball coach John Groce was recognized by CBS Sports on Thursday.  Groce was named CBS' National Coach of the Year in its article on midseason awards.

"The Illini were projected as an NIT team entering the season, but Groce has done a phenomenal job with this group," writes CBS' Gary Parrish and Jeff Goodman.  "The first-year coach has Illinois off to a 14-3 start even after Wednesday's loss to Minnesota. The Illini own wins over Butler, Gonzaga and Ohio State."

Illinois is 14-3 (1-2) after last night's loss at home to No. 8 Minnesota.  Illinois travels to Wisconsin Saturday (1:15 pm BTN).
