Okay, Southern U beats Sanford in the play in round for the Honor of facing SCar in the round of 64.

During the game, they showed candid photos both teams had taken with Coach Dawn Staley. I loved to see it. I’m sure that photo will be a tangible memory of this once-in-a-lifetime experience.

She also provided them with some swag after the game from what I saw on social media. Small beauty kits or something similar. This team will remember this forever.

Turns out they were perfume samples because the players had mentioned they liked the scent she was wearing.

40 minutes to tip here in Iowa City for the Georgia Virginia game.

They opened the arena an hour and 45 minutes before the game which I think is smart. Interested to see how many Iowa fans show up for the first game. The Hawkeyes don't play until 3:00.

If possible the Iowa fan are nicer and more outgoing than those in Lincoln Nebraska.

I'm wearing my ASU gear and I've had at least a half dozen Iowa fans console me on the loss.

Number two Iowa player Jersey t-shirt is Wright.

The two best t-shirts I've seen so far

Shoot that Chit

and

I just entered the nil portal.

Virginia beats Georgia in OT. The real story however is the heat and I'm from Arizona. 88 outside and Carver Arena has no AC. It was super super hot during the first game and I'm guessing the Iowa game will be very uncomfortable.

No AC??? How is that even possible in this day an age with these facilities?

On a separate note, this Herky statue is unique. The passion in Iowa is something special.

On all fairness it's NEVER this hot in March here. The heat seems to be bothering Iowa more than FDU 27-26 at the half as the Hawkeyes are wilting. And it's cooler outside (due to a breeze) than inside.

The statute is a tribute to Lisa Bluter?!? Odd

These friends said it was ok to post

Iowa fans took over Seattle for the Regional during Clark's junior year. I went to the Regional Final game against Louisville. All the Iowa fans I interacted with where very pleasant.

Clemson vs USC has been some really bad basketball

 

[BRS24]

NGL, Iowa leading FDU 36-25 with 5 min left in the 3rd doesn't inspire much from a 2 seed.

I was thinking the same.

Regarding the heat, I get that, but it still seems odd that there isn't an AC system in a facility like Carver arena in this day and age. Unless it's a matter that the staff weren't prepared and it takes a while to kick in, I'm befuddled.

Pretty sure Fairleigh Dickinson didn't put in a request for a local high school band to represent them.
Another reason to be proud of IowaWBB and the Iowa Athletic Department.

 

[azfan]

Comparing Iowa's performance to the other number two seeds is damning

Edit I'm not sure Iowa would still be in this game if it were on a neutral Court. The energy from the fans has been absolutely amazing

Before the game started I went down to the Virginia fans (about two dozen) and indicated that they definitely could play with Iowa especially if the FDU game was an indication... And evidently it was.

And

A critical call a minute into the OT that leaves Virginia alive

 

[aceboon]

this is just an absurd stoppage in Iowa/UVA

Ikr.... I think all these were refs are paranoid about being under the microscope and not performing perfectly. I know that they're ranked so that they can officiate in the dance. They definitely need to figure out a better way to manage this

 

[aceboon]

oh great, another 20 minute stoppage for an unobserved foul, this review crap has to be cleaned up

 

[aceboon]

how did Heiden not know how much time was left after that offensive rebound

 

[JstVisiting]

Oklahoma looking like a tougher game than whoever would await in the Elite Eight.

 

[azfan]

Best sub regional set of games ever. Definitely got my money's worth.

 

[Phil]

That took forever.

 

[triaddukefan]

Dawn Staley vs her Alma Mater in the Regional Final? It could definitely happen
