Who’s ready to dance?
The first round of women’s March Madness continues with America’s team taking the court for the first time. Iowa, which earned a No. 1 seed, faces No. 16 Holy Cross, who won its First Four game against UT Martin on Thursday night. The question now is if they can put some pressure on the Hawkeyes.
Caitlin Clark and company are one of the teams to beat. Maybe because the Hawkeyes are a top seed; maybe it’s because they made it to the championship game last season; or maybe it’s because they want to send Clark packing (looking at you Mark Kellogg), but either way, all eyes will be on Iowa for Clark’s final run in the gold and black.
The beginning of the end starts now.
