Hear what John Groce had to say during his press conference.
Transcript (via Big Ten Conference)
Groce: Good morning. You know, obviously, it's an exciting time for all of us coming up here and the season starting. This kind of represents the tipoff to all that. Our guys have worked very hard. We had a great off-season. I thought the European trip really helped us tremendously. The additional practices probably even more so than the four games that we played.
We learned a lot about our team. We have an interesting dynamic with three freshmen and then two fifth-year transfer newcomers in Thorne and Lewis.
