No. 9 Illinois meets Lon Kruger and No. 8 UNLV at Tulsa's Bank of Oklahoma Center on Friday (approx. 8:20 p.m., TBS). The winner probably gets Bill Self and No. 1 Kansas, which plays No. 16 Boston University, on Sunday.
"I wouldn't call myself a big Lon Kruger or Bill Self fan," Cole said. "I'm a big Bruce Weber fan."
The NCAA selection committee swears it doesn't consider the buzz power of certain matchups - say, coaches facing their former schools. Media that have participated in mock bracket exercises would tell you that claim is true. There's too much else to consider before throwing must-see-TV storylines into the mix.
