ISU played 7 game against current top 10 and went 1-6. They went 3-6 against current top 25.
Iowa played 1 game against current top 10 (ISU) and went 0-1. They went 4-4 against current top 25.

As everyone knows, our 6 losses are all against teams that play very physical and bang the heck out of opponents challenging the officials to call them on it.

Lower level almost sold out. Maybe a few hundred behind the basket left. Looks like General Admission in the balcony for the rest.

Iowa is 5-4 against the current AP top 25. Iowa is 8-3 against the current NET top 25.

Hmm. Started 0-4 against ISU, Ohio St, Mich, Maryland. Finished 4-0 against Indy, Indy, Mich, Indy. Who am I missing?
Iowa beat UCF in the non-conference who is top 25 in the AP Poll and NET.

Also 3-0 against Nebraska who is top 25 NET (but not the AP where they are just RV).

OSU is not top 25 NET but obviously are top 25 AP.

$15 for the play in game. That's overpriced I would have went for 10.
Seems odd to sell the 3 games as a package price for $30. But then sell the play in for $15.

Got my tickets for the play-in game. Front row (above the arena circle). Center court.

Want to scout out the team that may upset Georgia and play us.

Showing which teams Iowa and Iowa State have beaten that are in the “current“ top 25 is a little misleading. The numbers would be different if you looked at where they were ranked when we played them. Those losses (such as the two Kansas State experienced against us) obviously impacted falling out of the rankings.

But it goes the other way too, such as the ISU MBB beat a ranked Xavier and Memphis early who weren't quite as good as anticipated. That is why I prefer where they ended up (body of work).

I agree with qwerty but both have merit. Even though they've cooled off somewhat, Kansas State was a 'hot' team when ISU beat them. On the other hand, you can also say that a team was overrated in retrospect. Lots of variables at play.

Where they ended up isn’t body of work…it’s just the view at the end of the season. Body of work has to include the view throughout the season. Any way…any evaluation is fun to think about

Ticket prices at the other locations are all over the board. Some have the option to buy session 1 & 2 separately & range from $15-20 per session. An all-session pass at OU is $40-50. Have also seen an option for
a reduced price for kids/Seniors.
Tennessee students receive free tickets. Not sure who actually determines the price?

Edit: ISU students had an opportunity for free tickets as well. Hopefully they have a great turnout & cheer on the ladies to victory!
