When do they determine 2nd round times?

Drake 12-7, 4-5, finished 6th in the CAA. They had 11 games postponed due to covid. Somehow they won the CAA tournament.
NET 135
kenpom 146
sagarin 142

They are a good shooting team, FG 28th @ 48%., FT 22nd @ 78%, 3pt shooting, 41st @ 37%,
There leading scorer is 6-2 junior guard, Wynter at 17.6 pts/game.
Butler 6-8 center leads the team in rebounds and blocks. Second on the team in scoring and minutes.
It seems they like to control the pace. Their adjT is 340. 238th in points scored.

They are small, play 6 deep, want to play slow. Our size, speed and athleticism should dominate this game as expected in a 1/16 matchup. If we don't win by 30 I would be shocked.
??????? The fact is Drake was 25-4 and 15-3 in the Mo. Valley Conf. Pretty good team that started the season 18-0 and was ranked in the top 20 at one time. Loyola took them down 2 out of 3 along with Bradley and Valpo. They suffered a 22 day lull due to Covid.

I know all tickets are sold for this Drexel Illinois match but I really want to see the see sweet sixteen one which is gonna be on sale from tomorrow. But, how does one figure out which one to buy since results are not out yet. I am new to this. Can anyone help me with this? (Not asking for tickets. Just asking for help on how to figure out the right ones for the future.)

Sorry man. I put the wrong team name. I meant Drexel. Some weird slip.

Well it's already known those games will be at either Hinkle or Bankers Life Fieldhouse so I'd start looking there.

If you want the all Illinois storyline bracket:

Illinois vs. Loyola R32 (David vs. Goliath state school)

Illinois vs. OK State S16 (Ayo vs. Cade, Underwood spurning)

Illinois vs. WVU E8 (Underwood coached with Huggins at K-State)

Illinois vs. Baylor F4 (Regular Season Rematch, Illinois has won their last 10(ish?) second match ups dating back to Northwestern last season.)

Illinois vs. Michigan Championship (Do I need to explain?)
I doubt Michigan even gets to the final 4

Thanks for replying. And yes, those are the two places. But, I can see game 1 & game 2 at both locations. Any chance we can get to know which stadium and game we would have if we make it there.

Sorry for the annoying questions. I am not sure how these things work. Do people just buy tickets in advance and hope to get the right one? 😅

Well we won't know anything official in terms of venue until likely next Sunday at the earliest so you're gonna have to wait at this point.
