With Florida out of the NCAA Tournament, the South Region could come down to the Sweet 16 battle between Houston and Illinois.
Houston is looking to make a second straight Final Four and avenge its loss in the national championship last year. The Cougars have battled a tough Big 12 conference all year but are now the best seed remaining in their region.
However, Illinois is a formidable opponent that has gone under the radar all year. Freshman Keaton Wagler leads the way for a Fighting Illini team that has a heavy dose of international players but hasn’t made the Final Four since 2005.
Here is a look at the box score from Thursday’s Sweet 16 matchup between Illinois and Houston.
