What our Post expert thinks about VCU vs. Illinois
Illinois is one of the country’s most efficient offenses and has real legs in this tournament. It operates through size and interior production, with David Mirkovic and the Ivišić frontcourt creating a structural advantage that VCU frankly cannot replicate physically.
That forces the Rams to lean into turnovers and transition, the same formula that fueled their comeback in the first round.
Though if Illinois maintains its offensive efficiency and limits live-ball mistakes, the size gap translates directly into scoring consistency. VCU’s path depends on extending possessions through chaos; without that, Illinois’ half-court offense and rebounding edge become decisive over a 40-minute span.
Must be 18+ (19+ or 21+ depending on state of residence) and within applicable state. Not available in NJ. Full T&Cs apply.
