Final Four Preview: UConn vs. Illinois | 6:09 p.m., Lucas Oil Stadium

INDIANAPOLIS — UConn men’s basketball is set to take on 3-seeded Illinois in Saturday night’s national semifinal opener, with the winner advancing to Monday night's championship game.

The Huskies are in the Final Four for the eighth time in program history, and it’d be hard to think of an appearance as improbable as this one.
