How do you kill time while waiting for a flight to board? Prior to its flight Sunday to London, the Iowa basketball team used one of the moving walkways at O'Hare International Airport to shoot an impromptu music video. Best of all, Iowa posted the masterpiece to YouTube.

Yep, that's Mike Gesell on the moving walkway and Peter Jok dancing in front of it to, of all things, Soulja Boy's "Crank That (Soulja Boy)" 2007 song/video. Kind of random, yes, but they deserve props for doing something like this in public.
Eventually, the Hawkeyes got on their plane to head overseas. Speaking of the plane, according to HawkeyeSports.com, every seat was equipped with its own personal entertainment system, which included movies, TV shows, video games and music.
And when they touched down in England, London native Gabe Olaseni's family greeted the team. Check out this photo:
