Illinois vs. UConn: NCAA Tournament Final Four
Duke may have had the best player in college basketball this year, but Illinois has been arguably the best team on the entire left side of this year’s NCAA Tournament bracket. That explains why the Illini are favorites to win this game and advance to the championship.
Illinois has won all four of its tournament games by double digits. That includes its Sweet 16 game against No. 2 Houston, which entered the NCAA Tournament as one of the five top favorites to win the title.
UConn has the pedigree and name brand, but it had to survive a late rally against Michigan State on Friday, then mount a miraculous comeback against Duke on Sunday.Â
Even as a No. 3 seed, the Illini are rightful favorites in this game.
