Iowa offering free tickets for the MSU game

[jcyclonee]

How sad is it that you need to give away free tickets to a game vs the #6 team in the country?

How sad is it that the player they're using to entice visitors is shooting 37.7% from the field?

Sounds like Iowa needs to learn the art of the "Flash sale".

How quickly the topic shifts to football.

Sad program.

Top 20 program. Don't worry though. You'll get there someday.

I'm very envious of your program.

That Carver Magic baby

Iowa’s fan support for basketball is not great- almost as bad as Iowa State’s fan support for football.

Benji will come back with how great attendance is at Iowa basketball games and is tops in the BG1 and probably in the nation. He would probably put some sort of crowd noise decibel level reading per stadium to make it in Iowa's favor.

@benjimill Remember the free tuition scam for Iowa football. You probably forgot about that one.

We are there, today, in NET and Kenpom.

I wonder if part of the reason Fran is so poor at recruiting is because of how bad the fan support is

Yeah- it couldn’t be the other way around.

Barta hitting the library, Airliner, and Sports Column tonight to hand out free tickets...anything to look nationally relevant on tv Thursday night.

People might find their way to Carver...finally.

I'm not sure any has a worse home court advantage, outside of Penn State, when it comes to basketball. Carver sucks.

Team* don’t say program. Makes you sound dumb.

I did laugh at the full curtain that blocked off the entire upper deck of PSU. Then the lower was basically empty.

Iowa can hardly pack kinnick anymore. Multiple games where the corners were empty.

Iowa State is the exception, not the rule for student attendance everywhere. That's actually really cool.

Students just don't come to games anymore, you see it everywhere. So different from when all of us were in school.

Students should always get into games free IMO...they get gouged enough for tuition

you would still need free pizza for hawk students to show up;

Well they wouldn't get gouged if it was up to Barta, he'd give em free tuition. That's probably illegal and he's too smart to try that.

 

[MartinCy]

This is only for UI students. The game is close to a sellout otherwise. Still sad that the student support is so low, but it is what it is.

The bolded shockingly does not check out
