Tough next games for the lower seeded big ten teams: Wisky vs Baylor, Rutgers vs Houston, Maryland vs Alabama. Would love to see at least one upset :)
My best guess, in order of probability, Maryland, Rutgers and Wisky. All are possible. I think having it happen for one of them, is a decent chance.

Actually... second thinking this...🤔

Would Illinois rather play Alabama, Houston, Baylor or more Big Ten teams?

I mean, I gotta root for the B1G right?

I would rather play baylor or Alabama....because that means we made it to final 4. I would rather have Rutgers vs houston

We can play Maryland in the finals if they beat Alabama or Wisconsin in the Final Four if they beat Baylor.

I am asking assuming we make it that far, would we prefer to play other Big Ten teams again, or teams we haven’t seen as much of?

Not that much. Purdue earns 4th seed for their record, which is far beyond expectation earlier this season. Given its roster, one may expect it not being able to enter NCAA tournament at all.
Purdue has a talented roster and was playing great basketball entering the tournament, so it was a bad loss.

Indeed talented but inexperienced: the freshmen played greatly, but a tournament game could be something brand new for them. Even a roster with Zion, Barrett, and Reddish didn't manage to reach the final four in 2019.

This may be but Purdue's history of underperforming in the tournament made it not that surprising.
