TCR Bracketology 7.0: Izzo trips up Illinois

With Duke and UConn falling, the opportunity was there for the Illini on Saturday night to put pressure on the top seed line.

One of the better Duke-UNC games, at least from Duke’s point of view, came on February 28th, 1998, when Carolina visited Cameron.
