I’m up in the 200 level, the ones usually open by 214 were closed, and I went a bit further down and another one was closed as well. Only a couple were open for the Queens game but justified as about 1500 people showed up…

Yup I'm in the 100 level and same issues.

There were a few Iowa fans but not like Creighton blue level….just a spattering. Overall a really good crowd. Concourse was packed the entire time since PBA must be on a worker shortage thing, lots of concession stands weren’t open. I went up at halftime and the line for the beer was about 150 deep…

Service at PBA is terrible. It was the same for the Women’s game Wednesday.  And the forced upper level exiting the arena sucks.  Not fan friendly.

I get that the officials were going to let it go, but I'd think most any other coach outside of Bobby Knight, if a chair was shoved across the floor even in a time out situation, a T would have been called. 

I didn't see it live, But rewatched the game this morning and sure nuff. there was the chair being assualted.

I don't know if you have someome go with you to the games. But you could buy two, have the person with you buy two, if they don't like beer. problem solved.

Being a floor ticket holder for the women. I love that everyone has to go to the concourse, to exit. I'm out in my car before most of the crowd is out.

Maybe get the UNL concessions people to work at PBA.

Example of rhetoric on an Iowa board:

 

This team plays soft. Nebraska is not a good team, yet Iowa made them look good. If Fran can't light a fire under them after the last two games, he has no business coaching next year.

Nebraska is a good team, this will be a Q1 loss. Fran isn’t coaching for his job and a down year will happen at Iowa. They just won a B1G tourney title for the first time in 16 years.
That said this team is awful. We didn’t just get beat, we got demolished. Iowa doesn’t bring in shooters next season. There’s no shooters on deck. This could get worse. Tony Perkins is not very good, we were all fooled

That would put us at 16-16 or 17-15 going into selection sunday. I think the most losses ever for an at-large team is 14, but that's pretty rare. Michigan had 14 losses going into the tourney last year, but they are Michigan. The name on the front of the jersey matters at that point. If you're .500 or a game or two above, you're on the NIT bubble even if your NET ranking is high. Still gotta win games. But, sometimes there's not much difference between being an NIT 5 seed or being in the big dance. 17 wins and we might not get an NIT home game. 18 wins and we're on the bubble. 19 wins and we're in.  In 2014, we did everything just right from a resume standpoint. Lost the games we could lose and won the games we had to win (both to avoid bad losses and to pick up some quality wins). I believe the Purdue game a couple weeks ago was one we had to win. 

Don’t use your “facts” and “history” to make me look stupid that’s not fair.

I am in row 5 and it is ridiculous to walk down to my seat and then walk up to exit.

Maybe start by having enough programs.  I was there 20 minutes before tip and none were available.

Hmmm.

 

I think I just came up with a great idea for a team slogan.

You can get FIRED around here for that kind of talk…

[hhcmatt]

Not having enough concessions or programs or whatever was exacerbated by this easily being the largest crowd of the year.

Maybe someone should have planned for a large crowd.

Just realized we scored 10 points in the final 14:55 ... and won by 16. Insanity.

If NU had stopped cranking up 3s and started driving and dishing like they did against CU, it might have been a 30+ point victory. Oh well, a win's a win, especially after enduring these past 3 seasons of very few victories.

Suck it yardbirds.

That is the most satisfying win I've been to at PBA since we last beat Creighton there.

I'm in Sec 212. I've gotten to the point where I sneak in a water bottle and stop somewhere to eat after the game.

Iowa game was the first time I had ever seen that concession stand closed.

I was fortunate enough to have eaten prior to the game. But for the Queens game, I left Omaha and we just barely made it. Unfortunately, I had to feed my growing son dinner at PBA. Two hot dogs, a slice of pizza, and nachos with a Gatorade, just for him.  For that kind of money I could afford honest Abe’s or five guys. Ok, maybe not five guys…

We have 12,000 tickets sold each game and then 6000 show up. This time people showed up.  They probably had a hunch but it's even tougher to ramp up between Christmas and New Years when people have holiday plans.

 

Otherwise as an experienced attendee, I got Jimmy Johns before the game because I knew getting anything would be a hassle.

You could have all my kids fries. I didn't need to be eating them. :)

This would NEVER have happened under Marc Boehm's watch.

54 rebounds got me poking around the record books but we weren't even close. Somehow had 77 against K State in 1957. That might be the most Huskery season ever. Bad all year then beat Wilt's #4 KU team and Bob Boozer's #1 K State team back to back before dropping the season finale to 8-14 Colorado. 

 

Raise your hand if you've ever been at a game where a team outrebounded their opponent by 30, and lost.

 

 

[jimmykc]

Only when they make 27 turnovers

We might not be that far out.

 

But this has to improve.
