EchoingEagle+FollowIllinois faces a brutal NCAA tournament pathIllinois basketball’s projected NCAA tournament bracket is looking like a true gauntlet. Even after an eight-game win streak and climbing to No. 11 in the AP poll, the Illini could land in a “Group of Death” as a No. 3 seed. The path? A red-hot North Dakota State, then high-scoring Louisville, followed by powerhouse Michigan (somehow a No. 2 seed despite being No. 1 in the NET), and a potential rematch with UConn. Every step is stacked with top-15 teams. If Illinois survives this, it’ll be one for the ages. How do you feel about this possible bracket? #Sports #IllinoisBasketball #NCAATournament00Share
