It wasn’t a simple win and no person anticipated it to be. That is the Candy 16. Each workforce deserves its place amongst the 16 finest within the nation, particularly a really robust Colorado squad. You knew the Buffaloes have been going to make Iowa work for each bucket and each rebound on this one. This was a check of will as a lot because it was a check of ability and Iowa was in a position to come out on prime 87-77. It’s the Hawkeyes’ second Elite 8 look since 2019.
In what someway appeared like an off sport at occasions, star level guard Caitlin Clark led the way in which with 31 factors and eight assists. The legislation workplace of Clark and Czinano was open late this Friday evening with Monika Czinano including 15 factors and 7 rebounds.
Whereas the main target will at all times be on the Iowa famous person duo, heavy contributions from McKenna Warnock (12 factors) and Kate Martin (16 factors) can’t go missed.
With out these key performs from all the squad, Iowa doesn’t win this sport and advance to the Elite 8. They seem to actually be prepared for the event.
The crown jewel of the Hawkeyes’ program, all eyes have been on Clark and Co. for this one. Listed here are the very best social media reactions from the Hawkeyes large victory over Colorado.
