The first meeting of the 2023-24 season between the No. 14 Hoosiers and the No. 3 Hawkeyes was full of questions entering the game.
Winter storms and hazardous weather conditions across the Midwest changed the narrative in the few days leading up to the game from “What will this game look like?” to “Will this game even happen?”. And if the game happened, what would fan attendance look like? Would the roads be clear enough for travel? Would Indiana even be able to make it in a reasonable time?
Indiana made it to Iowa with relatively little trouble; the Hoosiers flew out of Bloomington Saturday morning and made it to their hotel with plenty of time to have a full shootaround and prepare for the game that would give them a chance to show the nation exactly who they are.
