[QUOTE="I11ini82, post: 1607135, member: 747716"] Something I found interesting... Per KenPom's efficiency ratings... Illinois has the 5th best defense in the country. Illinois has the 4th best defense in the NCAA tournament. (Memphis missed the tournament) Illinois has the 3rd best defense in its pod of 8 teams. (Loyola and Tennessee are rated higher) The Midwest region has 7 of the top 19 defenses in the tournament. This is not to say I am afraid of any of these teams. Just that there is a high likelihood of great defensive battles and we may not "look" as good or as sexy as some of the other top teams after the first 2 or 3 rounds. [/QUOTE]
