Today's polls, across the board.
Likely our high point (best seeds/rankings) of the 2023-24 season.

Whoa - perhaps not so fast, eh?
ESPN has us with an interesting matchup:

texas/alabama also in our little foursome would be typical
Just imagine this place if we were to lose that one.
Yes, I just put that evil on all of you.

"I can't tell you. Secret."
getting a top 5 kenpom team in the second round as a protected seed would be some awful luck lol
But not atypical when it comes to IL/NCAA
In fairness to the coyote, who hasn't been in the situation.
Can we maybe get the opposite of the "illinois kinda got a raw deal/tough draw/underseeded opponent" thing this time!

Not worried about running into good offensive teams in the tourney that are underseeded. Those teams typically aren’t nearly as efficient offensively as they were during the year.
Where you get hosed is running into an elite defensive team.
To echo Dan's post above... Isn't there some ridiculously strong correlation to being top 20 in both categories at some point (mid-year, end-year, some other time) during the season and winning the championship?
Yeah I want to say every champion in the past ~20 years has met this criteria at the end of the year. Good fact to use in bracket pools
