Ok so thoughts about the @IndianaFever@LVAces game last night—again I was enjoying it way too much to tweet during it:
1. The Aces are back 2 back for a reason
2. Seeing 4 of the top NCAA scorers in one game was incredible
3. Kate’s entrance into the game and her continued support throughout made my eyes well up
4. The Kelsey Plum/Caitlin Clark matchup will go down in history as one of the greatest head-to-head guard matchup mark my words
5. Temi is an extremely underrated center
6. Kelsey Mitchell is a problem for any team she faces. Quick as hell and hard AF to read.
7. Having the entire @IowaWBB staff supporting the girls in the first professional matchup is what coaching is and should be about
8. Floyd Mayweather’s necklace was both impressive and obnoxious
9. Alysha Clark’s “block” on CC was absolutely a foul lmao
10. @BeckyHammon was hall of fame long before she was recognized for it—and that’ll be the same for her coaching career
11. The CC/KM reunion was all I imagined and more

798 days ago, Iowa WBB set a Big Ten Network WBB viewership record, with 164k tuning in for their game against Ohio State.
Yesterday, 18.7 million people tuned in for the national title game against South Carolina.
Grew. The. Game.
"I wanna personally thank Caitlin Clark for lifting up our sport, she carried a heavy load, when she's the number 1 pick in the WNBA draft she's gonna lift that league up as well. So Caitlin if you're out there you are one of the GOATS" -Dawn Staley

What a season @IowaWBB and what a career @CaitlinClark22. We undoubtedly watched one of the all time best college careers….ring or not. Thank you for helping elevate our sport with your play, your poise, and of course your logo 3’s! I can’t wait to watch you at the next level!
Is there any doubt Iowa's Kate Martin will be an amazing future coach? I asked her if she was nervous before Saturday's Sweet 16 game. Her answer was ... a gem.
“No, not nervous at all. Super-chill. I just think it’s a confidence in each other. I mean, I have Caitlin Clark on my team. I have Sydney Affolter on my team. I have Hannah Stuelke on my team. I have Gabbie Marshall on my team. I have everybody. I’m being led by Coach Bluder. I feel like these are some of the best players in the country, and I have confidence in myself, too. I know that I can control a lot of things that take no talent. I can box out, I can rebound. I can do all these things. I just know that’s going to help us win the game.”
Today you can sit in front of your tv from 2pm-1am and watch all of Hannah Hildalgo, Rickea Jackson, Paige Bueckers, Aaliyah Edwards, Caitlin Clark and Juju Watkins play basketball one after the other after the other consecutively 🙉😳🎉
