Summary
Illini Inquirer basketball analyst Mike LaTulip gives his thoughts on Illinois basketball's NCAA Tournament draw and how he feels about the team heading into March Madness. LaTulip breaks down what he thinks of the first-round matchup with the No. 14 Chattanooga Mocs and his takeaways from the loss to Indiana in the Big Ten Tournament. The guys then discuss why Andre Curbelo is seemingly a polarizing player but an important one for Illinois entering the NCAA Tournament, and LaTulip also discusses Coleman Hawkins' emergence.
