I don't disagree with Carver at 9 now. As he says the 80s and 90s would be ranked higher. Expect us to be higher in the coming years.
9, Carver-Hawkeye Arena, Iowa
From the outside, Carver-Hawkeye Arena looks like a massive underground bomb shelter. I know this place was pretty raucous in the 80’s and early 90’s, and Coach McCaffrey has been attracting some great crowds of late, but my game atmosphere experiences at Carver-Hawkeye were pretty tame. Because of Jason Bohannon being from Iowa, he did receive an onslaught of boos and jeers. And I did appreciate that they had a crew of about 20 ball boys to rebound for us before the games, so I was able to get plenty of rapid-fire shots up pregame. However, overall I couldn’t rate it any higher than nine.
