I realistically could do this timeframe. I can't do the 2 straight hours of running, though, no way. Basketball kills my ankles/legs, I have to pace it out.

I went to Ankeny Methodist on Saturday. There was only one court and about 12-20 guys there at any given time. It was a good group to play with, we could probably show up as a group of five and get in the rotation. But having a cyclone fanatic only game would be just about impossible.
That might actually work out pretty well. Come straight from work, ball for an hour or two, then still have some time in the evening afterward...
to ice and pass out.
Still. Might be a good idea. @MeowingCows any idea on the layout there? Number of courts?
Two gyms, east and west. Typical gym-size courts. At least one of them is set up as one long court, two horizontal short courts. Not sure about the other side, never been in that one -- would assume it's set up the same.
Also, it's worth noting that... I won't be able to make it if we do that tonight. 
I have a hard scheduled after-work date with a beer and my grill (insane three-way, I know).
I also play with another group of guys on Wednesdays, but I'm not obligated/required to go. Just another open gym.

Tonight would be too short notice. Aim for next Monday?
I don't know that I'd want to make the trip to Des Moines to play especially not knowing if we'd even get to play much. I remember that being an issue for guys coming up to play at Lied. You'd pay 6 bucks and then potentially have to rotate in and play one game the entire time.
I live in West Des Moines and have a basketball court at my apartment complex. It's not 100% full size, narrower and shorter than a normal court, but has two hoops. I have it reserved from Tuesday nights 7:30-9, and am looking for a few people who can consistently play. The best amount for the court size is probably 6 people, so if I could find 3 people who are consistent that would be great.
My apartment complex, I have the gym reserved from 7:30 - 9. It's right off 235, exit 1a.
Pointe West Apartments?
It's cool you have a gym to reserve. If you move your reservations to Thursdays I could play, but I have volleyball practice on Tuesdays from 7:30-9:30.
