The Illinois Fighting Illini sit atop the Big Ten Conference standings with an 11-3 record and their overall body of work gives them a 3-seed in the latest IlliniGuys bracketology predictions.
Gonzaga, Arizona, Auburn, and Kansas are the 1-seeds this week with Providence, Kentucky, Purdue, and Baylor standing on the 2-line.
Illinois, with ten combined wins in Quads 1 & 2, is on the 3-line along with Wisconsin, Villanova, and Duke.
