The Iowa Hawkeyes women’s basketball team pulled off an incredible upset on Sunday, February 28th, when they defeated the Michigan State Spartans 76-73. The game was a nail-biter, with the Spartans leading by two points with only seconds remaining in the game. However, freshman guard Caitlin Clark had other plans. With just 0.2 seconds left on the clock, she launched a three-pointer from well beyond the arc and sunk it, giving the Hawkeyes the win.
Clark had an incredible performance throughout the game, scoring 40 points and making 8 of her 13 three-point attempts. She also had five assists and four rebounds. Her performance was especially impressive considering she was playing against a team that was ranked No. 4 in the Big Ten Conference.
The win was a huge boost for the Hawkeyes, who are now 11-7 on the season. It was also a huge confidence boost for Clark, who has been a standout player for Iowa since joining the team last year. She is currently averaging 19.3 points per game and is shooting an impressive 44.4 percent from three-point range.
The win over Michigan State was a huge statement for the Hawkeyes and a testament to the hard work and dedication of Clark and her teammates. It is clear that this team has what it takes to compete with some of the best teams in the country and that they are not to be taken lightly. With Clark leading the way, Iowa could be a force to be reckoned with in the Big Ten Conference this season.
