How many reasons does a fan of the Iowa Hawkeyes need to find their way to Carver-Hawkeye Arena Thursday night for a very rare college basketball doubleheader?

Well, let's see.

The opportunity to cheer a pair of UI teams to important victories over Big Ten Conference opponents is one.

The opportunity for late-to-the-party decision-makers/ticket buyers to see the two games for the Mother-Nature-Made-Us-Do-It bargain basement price of $15 is another....unless, of course, if one of the late takers is high school aged or younger. Fans of the Hawkeyes that age will check out Steve Alford's squad and Lisa Bluder's Hawkeyes for just $10.

A basketball doubleheader, with both then men and women playing? Boy, what an interesting concept... great for the fans!

I wish colleges would do stuff like this more often. It would put more fans in the seats and could get more exposure for the women's team.

Yeah, that's a good point... could definitely improve the fan base for the women's games. Could you imagine getting a hoops doubleheader at Duke, Tennessee, UConn or UNC -- somewhere where both teams are (usually) very good?
