Let's run down the events tonight:

Iowa does a decent job of selling 13,000 tickets to a second tier tournament game.

Those jokesters at WideRightNattyLight made a Twitterjoke about Iowa's horrible!! attendance.

I replied, of course, calling him a derp and saying that Iowa's attendance was ranked three whole spots behind Iowa State last year.

Whoever runs their Twitter, of course, called me a liar. Then a guy with a panda screen name and a goatee started a thread here calling me an idiot.

I replied with a link to the NCAA site backing up the claims I made.

WRNL replied with something about how it couldn't be true.

I called him a derp. He was being a derp.

And here we are. I was right. If you need me, I'll be on Twitter. Being right. Like usual.

It was a road game for the Hawks. The crowd should count for Dayton. Dayton wore red road uniforms, forgot their whities, and Iowa wore black or road uniforms. Very colorful.

If you truly believe that Iowa averaged 11,635 fans in seats last season, I have some beautiful oceanfront property in Arizona to sell you.

Again, it's all based on ticket SALES, not butts in the seats. And I fully believed Iowa averaged 11,635 in paid attendance. No way they averaged that many in ACTUAL attendance. But that's not what the NCAA goes by.

I think the major issue is how many tickets were sold for FREE. Also maybe a percentage of tickets sold would be better since CHA holds 15,000.

I can't believe there is an 80+ post thread about Iowa's basketball attendance. I've always wondered why Iowa men's basketball is discussed on here ad-nauseum when the program itself is so irrelevant. Strange.

What's irrelevant is that your brother (son?) nearly took my teammates head off after a foul ball came his way when he was unable to play after being drafted (I think, but that may be wrong. Event did happen, however).

That is what's irrelevant.
