Not a terrible draw honestly. Still obviously underdogs as the 3 seed, but the Illini beat Indiana State during the season, and Kentucky is more of a "sum is greater than the parts" team rather than a #2 national seed that's just overflowing with pro talent.
Illini vs. Indiana State at 6:00 PM CT, Friday, on ESPN+. If they win, they would play Saturday at 5:00 PM CT. If they lose, they would play Saturday at 11:00 AM CT.
Except for the fact that the selection committee chair said that those ADs had to be out of the room when their schools were discussed and their votes didn't count when the committee came to them.
