Basketball is boring, that’s why. Carver sells out for wrestling easily.

Sounds like something a racist ergh, I mean Iowa fan would say.
Outside of a small core, Iowa fans are frontrunners, and if the teams aren't near the top of the rankings people are just making a calculation to not watch them in person. This is not unique to UofI it is pretty much the standard at most places since the advent of HDTV.
Iowa State is actually among a very few teams that has seen increasing attendance at football and maintained good numbers in men's basketball despite a rough go of it the last couple years. They are in the top 1% of support of women's basketball win or lose. It is a better fan culture in Ames. Even more impressive considering they built much of it in the TV era.

"Iowa State people" are so thoroughly bought-in at every level from every walk of life. It's tough to appreciate (or fully comprehend) casually or from the outside.
Source: grew up a Hok fan in a hok family until I went to ISU. It really is a big difference in mentality.
Maybe people should be more thankful when they go around blasting our lack of donors.
I don't really intend to make it an Iowa-ISU thing, like I said, if you look around what they experience over there is the norm.
From the Athletic (poll on Carver):
Nearly 78 percent of respondents view it as mediocre at best with nearly 41 percent believing it’s below average or poor. That’s astounding for a program this year that won the Big Ten Tournament title, ranked fifth nationally in points per game (83.2) and had its first NBA Draft lottery pick (Keegan Murray) in school history.

Maybe it's because he's a douche and no one likes coming to watch him play minutes that should have gone to someone else the last 5 years
I don't think that is going to go very well for Conner.
Said this in another thread but I don’t think there is a fanbase and coach/family that deserves each other more.
