This was a bad loss for the Illini and one that could eventually hurt them come Selection Sunday.
Here are my three observations from the loss to the Eagles.
Lineup Confusion
Throughout the previous two seasons, I have been quick to jump on John Groce about his decisions and his inability to manage his talent.
But, heading into this season I was willing to give him a shot because you can’t deny the fact that this team has dealt with injuries.
We are now five games into the season and already I am confused on his decisions.
