I wouldn't exactly call Illinois losing to Oklahoma St. gutsy...it may be a better pick than most think, because Illinois could be primed for a loss (and as I remember, last time the Fighting Illini were a one seed, they were eliminated in the Elite Eight by Arizona). I've had Illinois from the outset, beating UNC in the final game, so I think that Bob's pick is going to be wrong anyway. Still, Oklahoma St. is a good team, and I would say if Eddie Sutton gets there, he'll give Illinois a good game.
And yes, the only team eliminated of Barker's Final Four is Wake Forest.
