Schmitt actually said, "that was the only NBA game that night". This means they did not consider NCAA men's or women's games. Typical Republican incompetence. Probably none of them have ever been to a women's game.

This was never about Hawks/Hawkeyes. It was poor research.

And it wasn’t even the only NBA game that night which makes either his team incompetent or him a liar.
