Like the rest of his University of Iowa teammates, Basabe receives six tickets to Tuesday's National Invitation Tournament semifinal against Maryland in New York City's Madison Square Garden… Basabe will be surrounded by many family and friends. Junior teammate Zach McCabe joked that Basabe was looking for "600 tickets, or something like that."

Basabe was asked how many friends and family from back home were looking to get on his pass list. "Enough to fill half this arena," he said, pointing to empty seats in the 15,400-capacity Carver-Hawkeye Arena.

The box score for last year's final shows attendance at 5,494. With a basketball capacity of around 19,000, there should be room for a bunch of family and friends.
