Well what’s the answer?
Held DePaul to under 100 at the end though. Moral victory.
I'm disappointed nobody has responded to this
imagine if Iowa lost to DePaul tonight in front of 6,000 people
Aged well. 6,000 might of been generous hahaha

He has another pic 20 seconds before tip. Holy crap.
Yeah, and this is a P6 team they are playing - not like some double-directional school from Illinois. Embarrassing!!Iowa basketball has a lot of problems, but the biggest is all those empty seats in the first 15-20 rows that are the seats not being used by the largest donors.
Honestly that’s Lickliter flashbacks.
DePaul started killing clock with like 4 minutes left.
I will say I think Toussaint is a steal and as much crap as I have them about CJF he was basically the only player with a pulse out there. Conner needs to go to the bench, JBo just needs the redshirt now, and JT/CJF/Weiskamp/Kreiner/Garza need to all play 30-35 MPG but they’ll all play less than 30 because Conner needs his run.
I also don’t take much from this game. I think it’s a classic buzzaaw game where just ran in to an extremely hot shooting team. Get back to me in a few weeks if they are still getting shredded.
We may need to have a few ISU fans go to the games to keep Fran from getting fired.Crap. That’s how they got rid of Lick. Even a doofus like Barta can’t ignore an empty arena
I guess you could also interpret it as him giving Iowa one last chance to win him. You love places, things, and institutions like you do family -- they help define you, they provide meaning for you in life, and you become part of them yourself.
If Xavier really grew up a Hawkeye fan in a Hawkeye family with a grandfather that played for the black and gold, then leaving that all behind... and considering the nature of the rivalry, basically forsaking it... was not easy. I feel for the young man for that. Taking one last trip to Iowa City to give Iowa one last chance to change your mind, even if you know and feel that Iowa State's program, players, coaches, and its stronger links to the NBA are the better fit for you... I cannot blame him for it. It can be "win me" and "goodbye" at once.
I guess he might have been giving Iowa one last chance to win him over but, at the same time, I guess you could say it was kind of a wistful goodbye. The reports of him just walking around and taking it in sound like somebody thinking pretty deeply about a huge decision and/or trying to savor it before it is gone and no longer part of his life.
When I finished school and left Iowa to take my first real job, I cried twice driving to Boston. Once at the end of the driveway to the home I'd lived all of my 22 years, and again when I crossed the I-280 bridge leaving Iowa, knowing I would never come back the same person again. Leaving something like that which defines you behind is hard.
