Forgive me, I was only attending this event as a fan and didn't know I'd be writing this until it was established I was the only WRNL writer in attendance, so details may be little sketchy.
4:30 p.m.: My wife and I arrive in Marshalltown an hour & a half before tip. Mainly because we locked up a babysitter early and figured we could tool around town and maybe get a bite to eat before the game. We decide first to find the high school just so we know where we're heading and... wow! There's a line of 90% Cyclone fans probably 100 people deep already outside the doors waiting.
