Could the stars have aligned any better for Illinois regarding needed teams losing this week? It’s uncanny. Nearly EVERY team in the race for a 3 has already lost.

Illinois controls its destiny.l

DJ Burns is a blast to watch. It's pre-Fletch Dain.

NC State looks like they will pull it off.
Burns has become one of my favorite non Illini players this season. He's so huge yet plays with so much finesse.

Oregon or Colorado will win the (final?) Pac 12 auto bid after knocking off Arizona and Wazzu.

Think your seeing a big difference this year in the consistency between the top 3-4 teams and the rest of the top 15.

Don’t want to see UConn until final game. They have size (at all positions including the 5), shooting, bench and an unselfish chemistry. Will be amazed if they aren’t in final.

I previously mentioned Houston being VERY scary. I think they would top UCONN and anyone else enroute to the title. They'd have to have a really bad off night for anyone to have a chance. If we end up facing a #1 seed, our only hope would be UNC out West. Unfortunately...I feel that they're the only #1 we have a good shot against 🤞

UConn's likely road to the Final Four will be similar to our bus trip in '05 (up until the Final 4 of course since it's in Arizona this year). They'll play the first 2 rounds in Brooklyn and then the East regional is in Boston.
