Breaking;There is a chance Clark could stay around two more seasons in Iowa City, as she could…

Dream season, according to Caitlin Clark, is one that Iowa inspired “delight.”

Caitlin Clark cried a little after a 102-85 loss to the LSU Tigers following a historic women’s NCAA tournament in which she guided the Iowa Hawkeyes to their first national championship game and made numerous records for the school. She did so while leaning on teammate Monika Czinano’s shoulder.

Clark, however, composed herself and spoke about how unique this season has been for Iowa, particularly for a child who grew up in the state. The West Des Moines, Iowa native has been the focus of a highly well-liked team.

“This season, I hope to have provided a lot of joy to the people of Iowa and young children, as that is what I want to leave behind as my legacy,” Clark stated. “I hope they had a lot of fun with this crew. Although we were short of a victory, I believe we have a lot to be happy about and proud of.”

Since the competition’s inception in 1982, Clark’s 191 points, 60 assists, and 32 3-pointers are all records for a single women’s NCAA tournament. In fact, she had the highest point total in the history of the NCAA tournament for both men and women. Whether it was through assists or scoring, Clark was in charge of 63% of the Hawkeyes’ offensive output during the tournament.

“She plays basketball really well. She has consistently demonstrated that,” Czinano remarked. “She is approaching it correctly. She is modeling herself for young children who aspire to be like her and accomplishing it in a joyful way. That’s really wonderful.

In the game versus LSU, Clark finished with 30 points, 8 assists, and 2 rebounds. However, she thought that she didn’t drive the ball enough. She also claimed that because of how strong the Tigers’ defense was, she didn’t get many chances.

Clark remarked, “Sometimes you just have to accept it and give the other team credit.”

Despite Iowa having the best offense in Division I this season, the Hawkeyes felt they could win the game despite trailing 59-42 at the half, according to Clark.

Clark remarked, “Nobody was pouting, nobody was moaning.” “We basically had a persistent optimism that we could succeed.”
