I've always thought Assembly Hall could best be described as a giant high school gym. The stands are almost vertical. Everybody seems to be right on the floor. If they put 17,000 or so in there tonight, it will be quite the atmosphere. What a shame that game is being played at virtually the same time the men are playing Purdue. I plan to watch both games, one way or the other, but it's a huge scheduling fail by the BIG.
This is a chance for Caitlin to nail down POY and for the Hawkeyes to move themselves back into serious Final Four consideration. It should be wild.
