I think standings and whatnot have zero to do with it, it's not worth the time and effort to attend.
Could very well be. Iowa and Rutgers are overachieving by most accounts. I haven't caught much of Rutgers but no one can deny Iowa's players arent busting their tails.
Just suprised by it, as are the professionals.

I'm suprised. The weather will be better than last Friday and it could be just as important as that game when it comes to the standings.
I mean, I gave Iowa credit for that, and multiple Iowa fans agreed with it:

It's disappointing that more tickets haven't been sold. I can only speak for myself but the 8pm start time is a killer when you live in Des Moines and have to work the next day. Getting home after midnight when I usually roll into work between 7 and 8 isn't ideal.

Yep but you would think there would be a few more going. I was suprised when @dexterhawk told me Iowa was still on break last Friday. Couple that with the weather, and that's a really solid crowd IMO. Just suprised it didnt carry over more you know?

Rutgers

Pretty sure this wasn’t a “must see” pre-season or a few weeks ago. That said...hopefully there’s at least 12k or so

No, I agree its not a hot matchup name wise but when you put those numbers in front of both teams it should change that some IMO.

"McCarty was initially put on administrative leave by the university on Dec. 26, after reports of alleged sexual misconduct and violations of Evansville's Title IX policy.

In a statement announcing the decision, which is effective immediately, the school said it had received additional reports of off-court misconduct with members of the "campus community'' during McCarty's tenure of less than two seasons. It also noted that McCarty had previously participated in a training program about unacceptable behavior."
