The attendance figures for the first round of the National Invitation Tournament, covering 16 games, are in. Iowa wins.

Not only did the Hawkeyes score a 68-52 win over Indiana State Wednesday, but their sellout crowd of 15,400 in Carver-Hawkeye Arena easily dwarfed the two-largest first-round gatherings.

Iowa  15,400

BYU  7,511
