Caitlin Clark leads Iowa to semifinals of Big Ten Tournament
Published:
Caitlin Clark scored 22 points, including 12 in the 4th quarter, to help lead Iowa passed Purdue in the Big Ten Tournament on Friday night.
Clark also added 8 rebounds and 4 assists. She was efficient in the 2nd half, which helped Iowa pull away for a 69-58 victory.
However, this wasn’t an easy game for Clark. She struggled from the field in the 1st half and was assessed a technical foul after complaining to an official.
Here’s a replay of the incident:

Clark, of course, rebounded. She hit this transition 3-pointer to put Iowa up 60-44 with just over 5 minutes remaining in the game. It was 1 of 2 shots from long range that she hit in the 4th quarter:

Iowa is the No. 2 seed in the Big Ten Tournament and is expected to have a rematch with Indiana in the final this weekend. Iowa defeated the Hoosiers in the regular season finale last week on a buzzer-beater from Clark.
But first, Iowa will face either Illinois or Maryland in the semifinals on Saturday.
