Feels like a missed opportunity that the game will not be played in the path of totality. Should have done the FF in Dallas instead of the regional.
Interestingly of the remaining teams, the Purdue and Illinois campuses are closest to the path of totality.
It would really be something to watch the eclipse pass overhead and then watch your team win the natty 8 hours later

It’s time, y’all.
For the first time since March 24, 2005 - 19 years and 4 days - when Illinois defeated Satan and his UW-Milwaukee squad in the middle of a march to the National Championship game, Illinois will play in the Sweet 16.
A little more than 14 hours until tip time. Let’s get this one. This team is too fun to stop watching.
