FIGHTING ILLINI HEAD COACH
JOHN GROCE • In his first year as head coach at Illinois, John Groce directed the Illinois program to a number of achievements in a 23-win campaign that marked a six-win improvement from the UI’s previous season, culminating in an NCAA Tournament appearance and subsequent victory to advance to the Round of 32. • Following the second-round win over Colorado, Groce improved his record in the opening round of NCAA Tournament to 9-0 in his coaching career, and 3-0 as a head coach. • Groce’s inaugural Illini team also won the program’s first-ever Maui Invitational title and defeated three-top 10 teams, highlighted by a buzzer-beating victory over No. 1 Indiana. • In his second season at Illinois, Groce guided one of the most inexperienced teams in the country to 20 wins, a No. 2 seed in the NIT and a final ranking of 11th nationally in defensive efficiency. • The Illini played some of their best basketball late in the season, a staple of Groce’s teams throughout his coaching career. Illinois won four of its last five regular season games, with three of those victories coming on the road at Minnesota, at No. 18 Michigan State and at No. 24 Iowa. • The Illini added wins over Indiana in the first round of the Big Ten Tournament and at Boston U. in the first round of the NIT to finish the season with six victories over its final nine contests.
CAMP FEATURES RESIDENCE HALL: Overnight campers and coaches are housed in Bromley Hall. All facilities are within walking distance of Bromley Hall. TOTAL INVOLVEMENT: By the Illini coaches, staff and Fighting Illini players. CAMPERS GROUPED: By age, height, and ability levels. SPORTS MEDICINE STAFF MEMBERS: First Aid Providers are always available at each court side. COURT AVAILABILITY: We utilize the state-of-the-art Ubben Basketball Complex, U of I Armory, and Campus Recreation Facilities.
