Yikes - what a tough draw for the Fighting Josh Pastners. I was secretly hoping GT would get an easier 8/9 matchup, but Loyola is IMO by far the best team on either line (and a borderline top 10-15 team actually). That game for me is my #1 "can't miss matchup" of the first round. And as if that matchup wasn't already draining enough for the winner, the Illini will be ready to put a serious physical beating on them.
