Country music star Tim McGraw recently paid tribute to University of Iowa basketball standout Caitlin Clark during a tour stop in Des Moines, Iowa. McGraw, who is currently on his Standing Room Only Tour, donned a no. 22 University of Iowa basketball jersey in honor of Clark's remarkable achievements.
McGraw's performance at the Wells Fargo arena in Des Moines showcased his support for the record-breaking athlete. The 56-year-old artist shared a photo on social media, expressing his admiration for Clark and the Iowa women's basketball team.
Clark, a standout player for the Iowa Hawkeyes, has been making waves in the NCAA women's basketball tournament, also known as March Madness. In a recent game against Holy Cross, the Hawkeyes secured a victory with Clark contributing an impressive 27 points.
Notably, Clark recently made history by becoming the NCAA women’s basketball’s all-time leading scorer. She surpassed legendary player 'Pistol' Pete Maravich, achieving a milestone that spans both men's and women's basketball in NCAA Division I.
Despite being eligible for another season with Iowa, Clark has decided to declare for the 2024 WNBA draft, scheduled for April 15. Her decision to pursue a professional basketball career reflects her exceptional talent and dedication to the sport.
McGraw's gesture of wearing Clark's jersey underscores the widespread recognition of her accomplishments and the impact she has had on the basketball community. As Clark continues to make headlines with her stellar performances, fans eagerly anticipate her future success in the WNBA and beyond.
