It is sad that Wisconsin got a lower seed than Illinois, but the last seeds are:

Illinois-5
Wisconsin-6
Michigan State-7

Michigan is not in.

I think all three of these teams can go deep.

I really like Wisconsin's draw and I think they could make a final four run. I think SCum state will lose to Nevada and I think Illinois will in the 2nd round to to Cincy.

The one thing Wiscy has going for them is playing the first 2 rounds in Milwaukee.

In my predictions,

Illinois going to Elite 8
Wisconsin going to Sweet 16
Michigan State going to Sweet 16

All three will survive the first weekend.

One down: Michigan State loses to Nevada.

Illinois crushes Murray State. They look poised for a big run.

Wisconsin was down early, but came back to beat Richmond.

Big Ten was 2-1 in the first round.

Illini are in the Sweet Sixteen, crushing Cincinnati.

Wisconsin loses a close one to Pitt.

Illinois the only team in the Sweet Sixteen.

Illinois loses in Sweet Sixteen to Duke.

Overall, it was a decent showing by the conference.

Michigan winning the NIT was big.
