No matter the outcome they go back to little attendance.

Winning that one every day.

ive got to find a way to kick this myself with all iowa state bball games

but i cant record and not watch. that gives me even more anxiety.
My issue is that my hatred of losing exceeds my joy of winning. When we beat Iowa, I don't feel joy as much as I feel an immense sense of relief, so I'm super stressed even when we win.

I need help, I know.

I’m not seeing how these are reasonable prices. I’ve been watching but they are just way too expensive to have to drive all the way over to Carver and deal with that. For as many seats as there are available I think prices are actually really high.
$30 on stubhub is cheap for a rivalry game like this. Would be impossible to find something cheaper than that at a big game at Hilton

Seats may be available, but if they were truly "Really Good" seats, they'd be in Hilton.

In Carver there are only three tiers of seats: Elderly handsitters Courtside, off-campus student nosebleeds, and random spots where you are unable to watch the Hawkeyes play. That last category is the only one they can sell at a premium.
Carver Hawkeye has better seats than Wells Fargo. Plus, not crowded.

Ah, memories of sitting in the middle of the Elderly Handsitters when Barry Stevens and Jeff Hornacek rocked their world.

1) there are only a couple tickets (worst seats in the building) listed at $32, which of course doesn't include an $18 fee per ticket added on. The rest are $40+ (before fee)

2) hard to compare a nearly sold out Hilton to the morgue known as Carver for men's basketball.

Cheap/reasonable for their home games would be closer to $25 all in, IMO.

Freeman is better than we give him credit for, but the Presidents are still a mismatch.

Since our bigs can play them straight up, try hard not to sag off Sandfort and Dix or leave them wide open on a trap.

If someone on their team is hot to start, stick Heise on them.

Gilbert may not get a friendly whistle if Fran is harassing the officials. He'll need to limit turnovers and empty possessions.

Stay out of foul trouble.
The Presidents....how am i just hearing this one? Love it.

Gotcha, it’s all relative, but for me I consider a $50 all-in get-in price to be on the lower end for a rivalry game like this. Probably will be the cheapest we’ll get to see the clones play within driving distance for a power conference matchup

It would have to get down to less than $20 for me to consider. At Hilton I’d pay $50 no problem and consider that a good price. We have season tickets though so I’m not necessarily itching to go in person to this game.

Are ticket prices good for an instate rivalry game between two likely tournament teams? Yeah probably. The issue is their fans don’t care and Carver sucks from fan perspective.

When you have to tweet this, then you are at the level of Kansas football a few years ago when they had to do this to draw people to the Oklahoma game.

Honestly I'd rather ISU face a rowdy crowd to work to quiet down than an awkward 1st round NCAA tourney type atmosphere.

I'd guess it motivates Iowa even more to make it a point that their fans should have shown up.

ISU - 6.5

Feels about right

83-76 per Vegas.

I think I'll stay away, but would be tempted to bet Iowa Money Line at + 250 since we never win in Carver.
