Iowa completely dominated the floor, and Clark’s teammates ensured she stood out. LSU had a bunch of problems on the floor. They weren’t able to convert baskets as much, Angel Reese got herself in foul trouble, and they were down multiple players. Clark ended up scoring 41 points, 12 assists, and 7 rebounds shooting a record-breaking 9 three-pointers. Her dominant performance led to a Hawkeyes win.
Caitlin Clark couldn’t hold her excitement while Iowa dominated LSU
Caitlin Clark shows a lot of passion when she’s on the floor with her teammates. This season, he has been the most dominant force in college basketball history. She solidified herself as the NCAA’s All-Time Scoring leader and led Iowa in various categories. Against LSU, Clark got extremely pumped up despite having 5 minutes left in the game while being 11 points ahead of the Tigers.
She claimed it was just pure emotion. Clark said, “I think I just got hyped for a second, honestly. I was trying to be pretty calm and cool. When you’re playing a team like LSU, they’re never out of the game. No matter what the time and score is.” Even last season, Clark would often taunt her opponents on the floor and back it up with her skills. There were a lot of moments like this during the 2023 NCAA Finals between LSU and Iowa. Ultimately, LSU had the last laugh.
Caitlin Clark had a kind message for Angel Reese
After the game concluded with the scoreboard at 94-87, Iowa, Caitlin Clark did not show any disrespect towards Angel Reese. The latter had 17 points, 20 rebounds, 3 blocks, and 2 steals before getting fouled out late in the fourth quarter. However, Reese and Clark shared a moment while they shook hands. Clark had some encouraging words for the LSU senior, who may have played her final college game last night.

Reese claimed Clark said, “[She] just told me, ‘Continue to be a great player,’ and I told her, continue to be a great player, as well, and keep elevating the game and go win it.” The LSU prodigy hasn’t decided on competing in the WNBA. She told the media that she will make a decision when she’s ready. However, Clark is projected to become the No.1 overall pick this year. She will face UConn in the Final Four on April 5.
