<strong>Favorites to win</strong>
This is a very talented pool of teams and prospects. Four of these teams can easily make the claim they can legitimately take the title home. With MacArthur having a homecourt advantage and a very talented team, I see them being a tough out. I believe Champaign Central will also contend as well, if not take the title home, with their guard play arguably being the best among the field.
<strong>Final Four</strong>
Champaign Central
Decatur MacArthur
Urbana
Mahomet-Seymour
