One more to consider: Illinois
Call them the “Balkan Boys,” and Brad Underwood’s Euro-Illini score with the best of them. They’ve reached 90 points in eight games. Of course, they lost two of those games, which says something of their streaky defense. The Illini won 12 straight during a midseason hot streak. It’s possible they peaked too soon.
Big 12
Best bet: Arizona
Arizona has a reputation for being something of a March Madness bust. Despite persistent lofty seeds, it last reached the Final Four in 2001 under Lute Olson. Put history aside, and you’ll see a team with tremendous balance and a deep list of marquee victories. Arizona shines amid the nation’s toughest conference. No team is more battle-tested.
