When was this doubleheader scheduled? Is it usual for the men's team to lead off a men's and women's event like this?
The Clark effect.

Will hawk men fill Wells Fargo Arena tomorrow ahead of women's game?

It has to be, by far, the cheapest ticket to watch the iowa women play this year, outside maybe whatever Florida tournament they’ve already had. Men’s team dragging down the event??
Absolutely.
Amazing how much fan interest has dissipated in the men's team. Pathetic as it's easily remedied.
I have officially checked out. The men's team is unwatchable...garbage defense, sloppy play, and no chemistry.
That said, cheers and Merry Christmas! 🤓

They're just trying to be fair to the men's by letting experience what a sold out arena feels like
The lesser team always play first.
I guess if you have a coveted women's ticket, you might come early to watch the men play. The second half.
At least the popcorn and ice cream will be fresh.
Who scheduled this? It’s demeaning as hell. The women should go first. 😤
Does Kenny Chesney play before Kelsey Ballerini??? Putting the women first would be like Elvis opening for a local Iowa band.

I doubt the men will fill it. But I'll be there to help try.
We will be in Des Moines tomorrow, but unfortunately not going to the game. Going to visit my wife's sister who is in the latter stage of cancer. ☹️ Though it would be fun to go watch the women play. The men's game, I am pretty meh about.
Sorry about your sister in-law.
As a cancer survivor I know it's a terrible thing to go through for everybody involved.
Thank you. Cancer pretty much runs in my wife's side of the family. Wife is about 8 months from her 5 year mark to be cancer free. We just keep praying that it stays that way.
Are you serious? So half the crowd would walk out while the guys are warming up?
I believe there is a lot of sarcasm in that post.Are you serious? So half the crowd would walk out while the guys are warming up?
Congrats I am a survivor of B Cell Lymphoma
Survivor of Esophageal Cancer. Total Esophagectomy.
Thanks but the real congrats goes to my doctor at Unity Point he was ultra aggressive with my treatment plan
Why? So 60% of the crowd can clear out after the women play.
Quit comparing the two teams.
Or, you know what, let's have them play an exhibition. We can use the women's 10:00 quarters.
Caitlin Clark wouldn't score 10 points if it was played straight up. The men would win by 50+
My point: let the men's team be the men's team, let the women's team be the women's team.
We have tickets and will likely show up during the second half of the men's game. Have a babysitter so we're going to take advantage of being able to leave the house for a bit and not have to sit through whatever that is that takes the court for the men.
We keep trying to make comparisons to these two teams. There is no comparison to the actual basketball playing. The men would destroy the women in a game versus one another.
But if you want to compare the product that is on the court, and what they are bringing to the people of Iowa right now, there is no comparison. the women's team outshines the men 20 fold.
I don't think anyone was comparing men vs women in a game, just that it's usually always the men's game as the "feature" of a doubleheader.

Congrats to you guys and your families. I watched the most important man in my life fight it for 2 years before losing his battle. I couldn't tell you how many times I wished I could take it from him and put it in me.
God bless you and your future health fellas!
