They say it was to re-fuel. If they're taking smaller aircraft, that's possible.

They would need about 5 of them.

Imagine the sight, the basketball team lands in 5 of those small planes. Here come the Hawkeyes!

 

[tksirius]

Weird that they seem to have never seen mountains before. Didn't they have a tourney in Vegas or somewhere out west before?

 

[FRANAMANIAC]

I read the hawks haven't played a game on west coast since 93

 

[eveningnewsteam]

They havent and the last time they did was the disaster out at UC Irvine in 93

They have landed:

The #Hawkeyes have arrived in the Pacific Northwest. After checking into our hotel we will head to the arena for practice.

That is not true. Hawks played in Vegas Invitational in 2008 under Lick. Was held at the Orleans Hotel and Casino. We lost to West Virginia then beat K-State. Vegas is considered West Coast. Brommer and Gatens were apart of that team.

tksirius you are correct. Vegas Invitational in 2008 under Lick!

 

[ssckelley]

Only Brommer & Gatens were on that team.

[ssckelley]

ok, the plane bigger than I thought. Based on what the inside looked like.

Loved the pic!

 

[sioux34]

Think Josh will get roughed up in practice for that?

I have a caption for that one Spank.

"Hey, can we get a walkon over here to carry Mr. Whites bag?"
