When Megan Gustafson finished her last game as an Iowa basketball player in a loss to Baylor in the Elite Eight, it capped the greatest women’s career ever. Some, myself included, would say that it was the best career men’s or women’s.
So the natural expectation was for Gary Barta and the Iowa basketball team to retire Gustafson’s number 10.
The announcement though came significantly sooner than any of us anticipated as Gary Barta made the announcement last night during the Celebr-EIGHT ceremony at Carver-Hawkeye Arena.
While much earlier than initially anticipated, it was, without a doubt, the right choice for the Iowa Hawkeyes Athletic Department.
