Game before UNL came to UI in the regular season Tominaga had single digits and was benched for a good stretch because of poor play. Then went off against us. Would be happy to reverse that pattern this time around.

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.
Teams to root for in bold ILLINOIS vs Ohio St Auburn vs South Carolina Texas A&M vs UK SDSU vs Utah St (flip a coin) Florida vs Alabama
