The University of Iowa and a University of Illinois fan group are at odds over a canceled ticket sale for Saturday's men's basketball game between the Hawkeyes and Fighting Illini at Carver-Hawkeye Arena in Iowa City.
According to ESPN's Myron Medcalf, the Orange Krush Illinois fan group has accused Iowa of wrongfully canceling its order of 200 tickets, leaving the group $6,000 in the hole since it is too late to cancel charter buses for the game.
While Orange Krush claimed the cancellation was a result of Iowa being "fearful" of their presence at the game, University of Iowa officials said the order was canceled because Orange Krush purchased the tickets at a discounted price under the guise of buying them for a local Boys & Girls Club chapter.
