Now we’re into the teeth of the NCAA Tournament.
Caitlin Clark led Iowa to a nervous 64-54 win over West Virginia on Monday night with 32 points in her final home game, setting up a Sweet 16 date with dangerous No. 5 seed Colorado on Saturday in Albany.
That’s where things will start to heat up.
“This is definitely up there with the best of them, mentally and emotionally and physically, grinding this out and getting the win,” Clark said surviving No. 8 West Virginia, which tied the game at 52 with less than three minutes remaining. “There’s a lot of positives to take away from this when maybe we didn’t even play our best basketball or look as pretty. That’s more fulfilling of a win for us than going out there and winning by 30 points.”
