In a remarkable feat, the Iowa Hawkeyes’ victory over the LSU Tigers in an NCAA Women’s Basketball Tournament Elite Eight game captivated a staggering audience of over 12 million people on Monday.
The Hawkeyes, led by the talented Caitlin Clark, are set to take on UConn in a highly anticipated Final Four game on Friday night. It begs the question: will we witness yet another record-breaking performance from Clark, who has already surpassed every other player in college basketball history, regardless of gender, in terms of points scored?
Most likely.
Clark’s games have garnered attention due to her impressive skills and fierce competition against LSU’s Angel Reese. One notable aspect of Clark’s playing style is her ability to consistently make shots from well beyond the 3-point line.
In Monday’s rematch of last year’s championship game with LSU, Clark had an outstanding performance, scoring 41 points. Not only that, but she also contributed 12 assists and 7 rebounds to her team’s victory.
Clark has an opportunity to savor the night even more as she prepares to face off against a school that did not recruit her during her high school years.
After an undefeated season, the No. 1 overall seed South Carolina will face off against North Carolina State in an intense matchup. Following this game, the Iowa-University of Connecticut game will take place.
