Key Points:
- Mid-bracket double-digit seeds historically struggle in the second round, making VCU's chances less favorable.
- Illinois' strong performance against mid-major teams throughout the season, including a decisive 35-point win over Penn, suggests they can handle this matchup well.
- VCU's recent dramatic comeback win against North Carolina is impressive but may not indicate sustained form to match Illinois' offensive strength.
- Illinois' ability to perform well in non-conference games is a key factor in this analysis, as their recent win was their first non-conference game since late December.
