POSITION. TOMORROW, THE IOWA HAWKEYES TAKE OFF. TAKE THE COURT IN SEATTLE FOR THEIR SWEET 16 MATCHUP IN THE NCAA TOURNAMENT. HOW SWEET. IT IS A CHANCE ONCE MORE FOR THE HAWKEYES TO CONTINUE THEIR MAGICAL RUN. OUR JEFF DUBROF MAGICALLY IN SEATTLE FOR US, JEFF. THE BIGGER THE STAGE BECOMES, THE BETTER THE VENUE THESE TEAMS ARE PLAYING. IT. YEAH. JAMES STACY, I SOUNDED LIKE A BROKEN RECORD TODAY. ANY TIME SOMEONE WAS LIKE, HI, HOW ARE YOU? MY RESPONSE WAS, GOSH, THIS PLACE IS BEAUTIFUL. I SAID IT TO PROBABLY EVERYONE I SAW TODAY BECAUSE THIS PLACE IS UNBELIEVABLE CLIMATE PLEDGE ARENA, ONE OF A KIND, A MULTIPLE BILLION DOLLAR ARENA THAT THEY RENOVATED HERE IN SEATTLE. AND YOU SAID IT, THE BIGGER THE STAGE GETS FOR THESE TEAMS. I GUESS THE BETTER THE VENUE OR RATHER THE BIGGER THE VENUE FOR THIS IOWA HOCKEY TEAM. THEY’RE GOING TO PLAY IN A VERY BEAUTIFUL PLACE, AS I MENTIONED, AND TOLD EVERYONE. TODAY, THE HAWKEYES TOOK THE COURT TODAY FOR THEIR PRACTICE, BUT ALSO GOT A FEEL OF WHAT IT’S LIKE TO SHOOT IN A BIGGER VENUE LIKE THIS. FOR THE YOUNGER PLAYERS ON THIS TEAM, IT’S REALLY THE FIRST TIME PLAYING IN SUCH AN ARENA AND EVEN FOR THE VETERANS, IT’S A COOL CHANCE TO PLAY WITH SOME PROS PLAY. THIS IS WHERE THE SEATTLE STORM PLAY. LIKE LEGENDS LIKE SUE BIRD TOOK THE COURT. THIS IS SOMETHING THEY’LL NEVER TAKE FOR GRANTED. TO BE ABLE TO BE IN THE SAME ARENA THAT SO MANY GREAT WNBA PLAYERS HAVE PLAYED IN AND IT’S JUST IT’S JUST REALLY COOL. AND SO WE’RE EXCITED. WE LOVE THIS KIND OF STAGE AND WE’RE EXCITED TO SEE SEE THE FANS IN HERE TOMORROW DURING OUR GAME TOGETHER. WHAT DO YOU THINK? YEAH, YOU KNOW, IT’S BRIGHT, BRIGHT LIGHTS. I’LL TELL YOU THAT. THAT WAS MY FIRST SMILE, WAS MY FIRST THING I THOUGHT OF. BUT, YOU KNOW, IT’S AWESOME TO BE HERE IN THE SWEET 16 AND HOPEFULLY A FEW MORE GAMES AFTER THAT. ALL RIGHT. TOMORROW, 630, IOWA TAKING ON THEIR OPPONENT. IT’S GOING TO BE A GOOD ONE. THIS COLORADO TEAM IS VERY TOUGH. AND DESPITE BEING THE SIXTH SEED, IOWA IS NOT TAKING THEM FOR GRANTED. LIKE I SAID, IT’S GOING TO BE HERE AT THIS CLIMATE PLEDGE ARENA. BEAUTIFUL. I THINK IF I HAD TO PUT IT IN MY TOP FIVE OF VENUES, I’VE BEEN TO PROFESSIONAL SPORTS. I’D PUT IT IN THERE. I’M ENJOYING IT. I’M GOING TO TRY OUT SOME OF THE GOOD FOOD TOMORROW. I’LL GIVE YOU MORE OF YOU ON THAT. REPORTING LIVE FROM CLIMATE PLEDGE ARENA IN SEATTLE, JEFF DUBROF ����vlog.
