The inaugural “Ally Tipoff” will bring NCAA runner-up Iowa and Caitlin Clark to Charlotte on Nov. 9. The Hawkeyes will face fellow Final Four participant Virginia Tech in an ESPN-televised game sponsored by Ally Financial. ✍️ ScottDochterman
“Internally, we said we think this would be an amazing event to bring to Charlotte,” Morrison said. “We thought that if we could get two of the Final Four teams with Iowa being the anchor, that this would be a compelling matchup.”
Iowa has become the sport’s traveling rock show, especially with Clark. Last season, the Hawkeyes set the Big Ten record in average attendance at 11,142. Even more impressive, Iowa led the nation with eight games above 13,000 fans. At Big Ten road venues, Iowa’s nine opponents averaged 3,482 more fans over their season average. The Hawkeyes halted season-ticket sales for the upcoming year because demand far exceeded the supply.
Last summer, Ally Financial made a 50-50 pledge to spend equal amounts on advertising and sponsorships for men’s and women’s sports. This game helps enhance the company’s mission.
