Following a significant collision with a court-scrambling Ohio State fan, Iowa’s Caitlin Clark escapes injury.
Following a 100-92 victory over Caitlin Clark and the No. 2-ranked Iowa Hawkeyes on Sunday, the No. 18-ranked Ohio State women’s basketball team caused a stir on the court in Columbus.
As Clark was exiting the court, an Ohio State supporter was spotted running into her, thus there was a cost to that court-storming episode. Without any delay, Clark collapsed to the ground and required help to reach the changing area. The good news is that Clark was able to escape significant harm in the crash, as Iowa revealed following the game.
Whether or not a victory is deserving of court-storming (also known as field-storming during football season) is a contentious matter for a number of reasons. Players, spectators, and arena employees are all at serious danger for injury, so many conferences will offer safe programs.
Watching one of the biggest stars in college basketball get plowed over by a fan and needing help off the field will only further that argument. Both Iowa and Ohio State are fortunate that she was able to avoid serious injury.
After the game, Clark stated there was a terrific atmosphere and she didn’t mind that supporters were storming the court; she was just taken aback.
