This season, we have seen Morehead State play teams from the Big Ten and SEC on four occasions. They went 0-4 in those games, losing three of them by 20 points or more. We expect another lopsided result in the Morehead State vs Illinois matchup to start the NCAA Tournament for both of these teams. With Illinois having a major edge on the interior and with their physicality, the Fighting Illini should run away with this game even if Riley Minix has a big afternoon.
