Iowa women’s basketball powerhouse Caitlin Clark and her team pulled off the unthinkable on Friday night.
The team topped undefeated South Carolina in the 2023 women’s NCAA tournament Final Four, 77-73, to advance to Sunday’s finale.
Clark scored an incredible 41 points in the contest, underscoring why she was named AP’s National Player of the Year this week.
As Iowa celebrates taking down one of the best women’s college basketball teams of the last decade, they’ll have to look back on the astounding game that Clark had to help them get to the national championship game.
She really had one of the tournament’s best-ever performances on Friday night.
Caitlin Clark is the first player to score 40+ against South Carolina since 1995 — LSU's Cornelia Gayden. #ncaaW

As the game’s broadcast put it, “the mythical mastery of Caitlin Clark” will continue as the team faces LSU in Sunday’s 2023 women’s NCAA tournament championship game.
"The Mythical Mastery of Caitlin Clark continues."
