Show Notes
Illinois holds the final two-seed spot in the East region, facing Tennessee State in the first round. Duke tops the region as the one-seed, with Illinois, Purdue, and Kansas following. The SEC leads with ten bids, followed by the Big Ten and others with eight or nine each. Illinois faces pressure to win their opener and potentially beat Michigan for a stronger seed line. Bubble teams like Indiana, UCF, VCU, Texas, SMU, and San Diego State are vying for deep conference runs. Illinois could face BYU or North Carolina State next, then a Purdue rematch in the Sweet Sixteen, with Duke lurking in the Elite Eight. Upset watches include UCLA over Saint Louis and Liberty challenging Virginia.
