Why Illinois can cover
The Fighting Illini feature a lethal mix of experience and efficiency on both ends of the court, a combination they hope will carry them past the second round of the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2005. Last year, they fell 73-63 to Arkansas in the first round. This year’s club has the highest ceiling of any in the program’s seven years under coach Brad Underwood, and they showed their mettle Sunday in outlasting a prepared Wisconsin club that matched them blow for blow most of the way.

The game was tied 82-82 with 3:32 left before Illinois closed out the win by making all the key plays down the stretch, which included numerous offensive rebounds to keep possessions alive, a couple of steals and clutch free-throw shooting. Terrence Shannon Jr. had eight points and two steals down the stretch, while also grabbing the defensive rebound that sealed the outcome. He finished with 34 points and four rebounds while Marcus Domask, who had 26 points, made 9-of-10 free throws to help close the win. See which team to pick at SportsLine.

Why Morehead State can cover
Proven leadership and experience are essential attributes for success in the NCAA Tournament, and Morehead State’s top two players are among the most seasoned in the 64-team field. Senior guard Drew Thelwell has been part of all of the program’s 94 wins since he joined the Eagles in 2020, a program record, and he also set the all-time Morehead State mark for assists this season. What’s more, leading scorer and rebounder Riley Minix (20.8 ppg, 9.8 rpg) has emerged as one of the most impactful transfers in college basketball this season.

Minix was named the Ohio Valley Conference Player of the Year in his lone season at the Division I level. He joined Morehead State after authoring one of the more decorated NAIA careers in recent memory at Southeastern University in Florida, where he led the club to three playoff berths while earning numerous individual accolades.

On Jan. 24 inside Welsh-Ryan Arena, Northwestern fans chanted “No means no” throughout the Wildcats’ game vs. Illinois as a means to heckle Illini guard Terrence Shannon Jr., who was making his return from a suspension stemming from a 2023 rape case in Kansas.

Shannon missed six games while suspended but successfully sued his school and was cleared to return to play, but fans have not shied away from heckling him on the road since his return. And while the case with the school is settled, the criminal case remains ongoing, opening up the spectacle of controversy as No. 3 seed Illinois begins its NCAA Tournament run Thursday vs. No. 14 seed Morehead State in the first round.

Here’s what we know about the timeline and details of the case against Shannon, who has maintained his innocence since charges were brought against him in December.

Dec. 5, 2023: Shannon is charged with one count of rape or an alternative count of sexual battery after a woman alleged that he grabbed her buttocks, reached under her skirt and touched her inappropriately on Sept. 8 in Lawrence, Kansas.

Dec. 28, 2023: Shannon turns himself in and is arrested one day after a warrant is issued. He is released on $50,000 bail. Illinois suspends Shannon indefinitely, citing a zero-tolerance sexual conduct policy. Shannon’s attorney, Mark P. Sutter, issues a statement acknowledging the accusation surfaced in September 2023 but that his client has declared his innocence since the beginning.

Jan. 2, 2024: Shannon Jr. writes a 1,366-word letter addressed to the University of Illinois student-athlete conduct panel, in which he continues to declare his innocence and pleads for the suspension to be overturned. The letter reads in part:

As to the criminal charges against me, I am declaring my innocence, as I did back in September. I have totally cooperated with that process and will continue to do so. While I appreciate my lawyers and their ability to fight the case in court, I know that the criminal justice system takes time. So my day in court will not come about for a long time, most likely long after the NBA draft, and I may not be cleared of the charges until it’s too late. The harm that I will suffer from an immediate suspension can never be undone, and I will never have this opportunity to further my collegiate career or fulfill my lifelong dream to play in the NBA. Going forward, I want nothing more than to play basketball for the University of Illinois, and I remain hopeful that my due process rights will be honored and allow for a full reinstatement while this case is pending.

Jan. 8, 2024: Shannon’s attorneys file a temporary restraining order against the University of Illinois seeking immediate reinstatement. The suit claims Shannon was not granted due process before being suspended from the team.

Jan. 19, 2024: U.S. District Court Judge Colleen Lawless hears Shannon’s case and rules the school violated his civil rights with the suspension. Lawless grants an injunction asserting Shannon “will suffer irreparable harm” without it. Illinois abides by the ruling, reinstating him to full status.

Jan. 21, 2024: Shannon returns to play after missing six games and scores 16 points in an 86-63 home win over Rutgers.

Feb. 23, 2024: A preliminary hearing date for the rape case against Shannon is initially scheduled but later moved to May 10.

March 17, 2024: Illinois wins the Big Ten Tournament after three wins in three days. Shannon scores 28, 40 and 34 points in the three wins while earning Most Outstanding Player but is unavailable to the media. Illinois coach Brad Underwood comments only that he is coaching the players in the locker room, which at the time includes Shannon.

“I’m the basketball coach, and a lot of this stuff was put in play by our university, the courts, and I’m not going to consume myself with it,” said Underwood. “I’ve got a locker room full of players that I said, when he was suspended, I was going to coach the guys in the locker room. He’s in the locker room. I’m going to coach him.”

March 21, 2023: No. 3 seed Illinois faces No. 14 seed Morehead State in the first round of the 2024 NCAA Tournament.

Saturday’s NCAA Tournament bracket has produced a schedule loaded with great matchups as the first weekend of the Big Dance enters the second round. If it was anything like the first few days, we’re in for upsets, dramatic finishes and big comebacks as the field of teams competing for the national title continues to dwindle.

No. 4 seed Kansas meets No. 5 seed Gonzaga as two historically strong programs look to silence the critics and make the Sweet 16 despite roster limitations.

In the evening a couple of legendary coaches battle their former employers. First, it’s No. 2 seed Tennessee and Rick Barnes taking on No. 7 seed Texas, where he won 402 games between 1998 and 2015. Finally, No. 11 seed Oregon and coach Dana Altman will battle No. 3 seed Creighton to close the evening. Altman won 327 games while coaching the Bluejays from 1994 to 2010.
