Throughout her college career, Caitlin Clark has made a habit of doing things no one has ever seen before. In the Big Ten quarterfinals against Penn State, Iowa head coach Lisa Bluder saw something completely new from her star guard. “I don’t think I’ve ever seen her miss 11 3s in a row,” she said. “And that could probably include practice and everything else. I’ve never seen that.”
Yes, Clark, the NCAA’s all-time leading scorer, didn’t make a 3-pointer until 8:41 remained in the game. She missed her first 11 attempts. But of course, when Clark did hit her first triple, she made history. With 164 3-pointers, she has more treys in a season than any other NCAA scorer — male or female — passing former Davidson star Stephen Curry and former Liberty guard Darius McGhee.
Five Hawkeyes scored in double figures in Iowa’s 33-point victory.
