MILWAUKEE, WI (WAND) -- Illinois is preparing for another powerhouse basketball team in Kentucky in the second round of the NCAA Tournament.
Some familiar paths crossing as the Illini and Wildcats face each other. Assistant Coach Orlando Antigua was an assistant coach at Kentucky for three seasons and Freshman Will Riley was recruited by the Wildcats.
Antigua might have an advantage knowing the culture at Kentucky but the roster is completely different from when he was there.
Illinois and Kentucky take the court with a trip to the Sweet 16 on the line Sunday afternoon tip off is scheduled for 4:15 p.m.
