Why Iowa’s Grit Could Turn the Tide Despite Long Odds
Illinois has looked like the best team in the tournament. At the very least, they’ve looked like one of the best teams in the tournament. I suppose you could make an argument for a team like Arizona, maybe even Michigan (I’m writing this article before the Wolverines play, so give me a break if they get upset today). The Illini have looked good for the majority of the season, but I will mention they haven’t been the most consistent team in the sport. This will be the fourth game of the NCAA Tournament for Illinois. In the first game, they won by 35. The next game they won by 21 over VCU. The third game was a real test as they had to face Houston in Houston. I was wrong about this game, and the Illini were able to win it playing Houston’s game. This was a slow, boring, defensive-oriented game. Illinois prevailed with a 10-point win.Â
