Correct me if I'm wrong, but I rarely recall an out of bounds play working in the Groce era at the Convo, let alone a gimmee.
Congratulations Coach on a signature win.
Not only did the out-of-bounds play rarely work, I always believed that when the opponents had the ball on their end of the floor and things became tough, the opponent would deliberately throw the ball out of bounds. Chances are OUr inbounds play would blow up and the opponent had a pretty good chance of getting an excellent shot.
That said, it worked to perfection last night. Good for Coach Groce and the Illini!
