Caitlin Clark continues to write her legendary career with the Iowa Hawkeyes
It was an all-out dominant performance for Caitlin Clark yesterday and she gave everything she had to get her team a win. She was responsible for 70 of her teams’ 97 points last night and that is the most in an NCAA tournament since 2000. Clark looks like she’s on her way to winning National Player of the Year this season.
She also recorded her 17th double-double of the season last night and was the 18th time she’s had at least 25/5/5. The next closest player in Division 1 has done that just five times and the superstar guard is in a league of her own. Those were not the only records she broke last night as well.
