Tracking Caitlin Clark’s performance in the NCAA Tournament: What is her current point tally?
Before Caitlin Clark heads off to the WNBA, the reigning national player of the year is gearing up for one last March Madness run to potentially lead the Hawkeyes to a championship. Clark and the top-seeded Iowa team kick off their NCAA Tournament journey on Saturday, facing off against the 16th-seeded Holy Cross/UT Martin at 3 p.m. ET. Competing in the Albany regional, they could potentially meet second-seeded UCLA in the Final Four, or perhaps third-seeded LSU, the team that defeated Iowa in the national championship last season.
Last year, Clark guided the Hawkeyes to their first Final Four appearance in 30 years. Despite an impressive victory against top-ranked South Carolina in the semifinals, Clark and her teammates fell short to LSU and Most Outstanding Player Angel Reese in the national title game, losing 102-85. Since then, Clark has been making waves, emerging as the leading scorer in both women’s and men’s Division I college basketball. This season alone, she has shattered records by sinking 173 3-pointers, surpassing the previous NCAA record held by Stephen Curry of Davidson.
As Clark continues to rewrite the history books, SPORTSBUZZ2 is diligently tracking all her stats throughout the NCAA Tournament.
