Illinois Illini men’s March Madness live updates: Selection Sunday bracket predictions
The Illinois Fighting Illini have a warm-up performance on Selection Sunday as they face the Wisconsin Badgers for the Big-10 men’s basketball crown.
The Illini look to be a part of the chalk heading into the big dance as the brackets are released.
Experts across the college basketball landscape have the Fighting Illini as either a No. 3 or No. 4 seed ahead of the Big-10 title game.
The Illini have the wind at their back after a conference tournament record 40-point, turnover free performance from Terrence Shannon Jr. to propel them to the comeback over Nebraska and into the Big-10’s big game.
It’s time for the madness so follow along throughout the day for updates on the Illini, the tournament and everything you need to know heading into the NCAA March Madness.

Well, the Illini technically aren’t standing at the moment as they are currently on the stage for the Big-10 championship game against Wisconsin.
While the championship and the automatic berth would be a feather in the cap for the season, the Illini very likely won’t need it to get into the dance as most experts have them as either a No. 3 or No. 4 seed.
March Madness starts with the First Four on March 19.
