Caitlin Clark’s leadership propelled the Iowa women’s basketball team to a 113-90 victory over Drake, improving their season record to 5-1. Following last season’s loss in the final to LSU, the team is determined to compete for the national title this time.
The fifth-ranked Hawkeyes were guided by All-American guard Caitlin Clark, who delivered an outstanding performance, scoring 35 points, providing 10 assists, securing six rebounds, and recording seven steals.
Clark’s boyfriend, Connor McCaffery, found amusement in a decision made by a Drake player while guarding her. The player left Clark wide open at the top of the key while assisting in guarding another player. McCaffery posted the video on his Instagram story, expressing his reaction to the move.
After this season, Clark will be eligible to enter the 2024 WNBA draft or return for a fifth year at Iowa due to an extra year of eligibility gained during the 2019-20 season. She was the Player of the Year last season and is likely to repeat the feat this season, making her a highly coveted pick in the 2024 WNBA draft.
Despite the speculation about entering the 2024 draft, Clark is expected to be the first pick in numerous mock drafts. She led the nation in 3-pointers and assists last season, making her a sought-after prospect for WNBA franchises.
Clark’s decision on entering the 2024 draft remains uncertain, as she is yet to secure a college basketball national title. Her choice will ultimately be based on her gut feeling, as she evaluates whether to stay another year or pursue a professional career.
