This weekend, Austin is all about March Madness.
Eight teams are scheduled to play the second and third rounds of the tournament at the Erwin Center.
The Greater Austin Illini Club is gearing up for the University of Illinois's game against University of Colorado.
"We're really hoping that the team makes it to at least the Final Four, and we're really excited to have the team here,” Rachel Raia with the Greater Austin Illini Club said. “We're just really excited to host them in our city."
The Illinois fans didn't want to jinx their team, but said that if their team wins, they’ll hold their post-game celebration at the Chicago House in Downtown Austin.
