AUSTIN, TX – John Groce made a name for himself in last year’s NCAA Tournament, leading MAC Champion Ohio to a stunning victory over Michigan in the 2nd round, and taking his unheralded Bobcats all the way to the Sweet Sixteen.
Now at the helm of 7th-seeded Illinois, Groce is looking to return to the Sweet Sixteen, but a tall task awaits him in the form of ACC Champion Miami, seeded 2nd in the East Regional.
Wayne Larrivee and Reid Gettys caught up with Coach Groce ahead of the game.
