Illinois is still the 2nd 4th seed in the updated BracketMatrix but there's a plot twist! KU is now on the 4 line, with UK moving up to the 3 line.
Why? Well the pipedream that is the 3 seed is starting to come into play here. Duke and KU both lost yesterday on the 3 line and Duke was probably the most likely team we'd pass. KU's resume is significantly better than ours, but they're dealing with injuries that may knock them a seed. BYU also lost yesterday as the best 5 seed in the Matrix, so I think we're pretty locked into the 4 line at worst.
