Here is what I think the bracket will look like on Selection Sunday, March 15th.
Where are the Illini?
In this scenario, the Illinois Fighting Illini would be playing as a 7th seed in the West region against 10-seed Northern Iowa in the second round. If they advanced, they would play the winner of 2-seed Seton Hall vs. 15-seed Colgate.
Last four in
USC, Arkansas, Arizona State, and Cincinnati.
First four out
Purdue, Providence, Alabama, Richmond
