CLEVELAND – It wasn’t the Caitlin Clark Show that everyone expected in the Final Four, but the Iowa Hawkeyes managed to beat the UConn Huskies to advance to the National Championship for the second-straight season.
However, the game might be most remembered for a controversial late-game call that all but sealed the victory for Iowa.
Leading by one point with under 20 seconds left, Clark drove into the lane but instead of trying to score, she passed the ball to teammate Hannah Stuelke, who led the Hawkeyes with 23 points.
