The Missouri Tigers and Illinois Fighting Illini have both had frighteningly similar seasons this year.

Both started the season ranked in the middle of the Top 25.

Both finished with disappointing .500 records during their respective conference play.

Both seemingly squeaked into the NCAA Tournament field.

Which brings up the question....

Which team will advance further in this week's NCAA Tournament?

Mizzou, an 11 seed, faces off against Big East power Cincinnati.  Mizzou has been reeling of late, losing 4 out of their last 5 contests.  Plus, don't forget about Mike Anderson's ballclub and their highly publicized struggles away from Mizzou arena.

Meanwhile, Illinois is a 9 seed and is facing former coach Lon Kruger and the UNLV Runnin' Rebels. 

Illinois, with a 19-13 record, has seemed to struggle for a longer period of time, going 6-10 over their last 16 games.

Neither team is playing particularly well.  Both should feel lucky to be in the field.

But who advances further?
