Megan has signed back with Dallas so she will not be at that event with us.
We may be adding one more Hawkeye to the roster though.

So I was looking at the bracket for this tournament, and it looks like the team Iowa United plays is a Wichita State alumni team. Not sure if home court advantage is a factor in this, but the game is in Wichita

It’ll be fun seeing some old Hawks play again

I’m a little confused about how the tournament is set up. I just watched a 1 and 4 seed play a second round game, but Iowa hasn’t even played their first?

 

[StormHawk42]

White is playing for a team called Team Hines. Don’t know what their theme is.

Yep so half of the tournament field will play this week and the other half will start next week.

We definitely went after white for our team this year but he had already been gobbled up. Hoping he joins us next year.

I was driving through Wichita yesterday and they were talking about this tournament on the radio. Wish I could make it to the games.

 

[NevadaHawk]

I think from a tweet on the home page Matt Gatens is suppose to be there?

As a player??

 

[Rudolph]

Been fun watching Team Hines. White has a nice role. Nick Calathas is fun to watch and perfect playmaker for a guy like White.

 

[ForeTheVeterans]

As a player??

Yes. We added Matt this morning. We're excited to have him for some great depth.

It would/will be a lot of fun to watch Matt play again.

To reggies credit he really wanted to play this year. We were back-and-forth with big 3 and his agent numerous times. BIG3 wouldnt let him contractually.
