Were the Illini overrated?
Arizona spanking them in the regional final, up nine with less than two minutes to go.

1. NO!
They're a great team. Arizone just matches up very well with them.
That's the thing about the tourney. It's all about match-ups.

I was in third in my cousin's pool but I did awful the first two rounds. But my top teams have come through for the most part.

I don't know how good Illinois' basketball team is, but their wrestling team is pretty good . . .
