For more than an hour after today's Illini loss to Michigan, fans called in to WDWS 1400-AM's postgame show mostly to vent about John Groce's struggling team. Examples:
From Eric in Champaign:
"These last two games basically gave away all the goodwill they had garnered the last few weeks. Everything they gained, you gave right back. That's pretty much the story of the entire time Groce has been here. You've seen enough to know that they're not going to do a heck of a lot more with him as the head coach."
From Jim in Rockford:
"We have people in this fan base that have seemingly forgotten that we used to be a basketball program.
