Why DM?

Is there a law that says we have to play at Wells? Maybe I've been in Colorado too long, and I have worked 21 years in Des Moines, and I know that DM-ites have know way in hell of creating a college atmosphere. Screw em...PLAY AT HOME...WE OWE THIS MV TOWN NOTHING.

Wells Fargo is 10x the arena Carver is.

I thought they did it for central Iowa fan base. Crowd was dead. Not totally true, Creighton fans were loud. WE SUCK.

The students struggle to show up when the game is at Carver, do you really think they would have made a huge difference in showing up since its the beginning of thanksgiving break? You're comment is a dumb one as well.

The crowd at Carver is always rockin' when we're down 30 with 12 minutes left.

Re: Why DM?

Good point, and well taken. I just feel we would have shot better at Carver. It's supposed to be a home game.

Carver is worth at least 25 points. AT LEAST.

Students are gone on Thanksgiving break. Having this game at the Well is a great idea.... maybe expand on this to a holiday tournament with just, ISU, Drake, UNI, and Iowa.

Re: Why DM?

Game would have been closer at Carver. Creighton still would have won judging by today's performance.

Ya, you can't have two teams from the same conference in the same tournament.

Few care about Iowa basketball anymore. Sad but true.
