Looking ahead to next season, here are the NCAA Tournament sites:

First/Second Round
Pittsburgh
Omaha
Fort Worth
Spokane
Charlotte
Minneapolis
Louisville
Sacramento

Sweet Sixteen/Elite Eight
San Antonio
Los Angeles (Crypto.com Arena)
Kansas City
New York City (MSG)

Final Four
Detroit (Ford Field)
I'm stoked for a Omaha and KC couple of weeks. Let's make it happen lol.

I'd figure Minneapolis/KC would be more the path the school would choose (though I know of course that Louisville is closer than the Twin Cities).
Three of the eight first weekend sites should be relatively easy for Illini fans to attend. Get in the Kansas City Region, and there is viable path to have a path to the championship in Detroit that will be enviable for a fan perspective.

Pretty sure Louisville would be the choice. That's a straight shot drive. Flying to Minny with the unexpected weather nonsense we can get in March....no thanks, but who knows
