Iowa marked the spot on the court where Caitlin Clark made the shot in order to commemorate her NCAA scoring record.
Two weeks ago, Caitlin Clark became the all-time leading scorer in NCAA women’s basketball, ensuring her place in college basketball history for eternity. Iowa is now making sure that people remember the location on the court where she smashed the record.
The hardwood floor of Carver-Hawkeye Arena now bears a sticker at the precise location where Clark drained a deep 3-pointer to propel herself past Kelsey Plum. Clark’s last name is shown beneath her number 22 in a black font with a yellow outline.
Even though Clark often performs those logo-bombs, the extraordinarily long shot—35 feet from the rim—can be seen in a picture of the decal tweeted by the Iowa women’s basketball account.
She set an Iowa single-game record with 49 points as she concluded the game against Michigan on February 15.
The reason behind Michigan fans mocking her for sending notes to Caitlin Clark on her historic night
Thursday was a record-breaking night for Caitlin Clark, and the Michigan Wolverines anticipated it would be. The squad presented Clark with a gift and heartfelt letters following their game. After learning about the gesture on social media, basketball enthusiasts ridiculed the team in shock.
When Caitlin Clark broke Kelsey Plum’s scoring record, there would always be a team that was left holding the record. That’s just the nature of the game. Prior to Jaz Shelley making a change of heart, the Nebraska Cornhuskers would have won. That implied that Caitlin Clark and all her buckets would be ready to rock for the following team on the schedule, Michigan.
Maybe Michigan knew how serious the situation was. After the game, Caitlin received a gift and a card from the whole Iowa team, according to head coach Lisa Bluder, who addressed the media.
However, that news confused basketball fans. Though it’s a really polite gesture, they seemed to understand what Michigan was attempting to accomplish with the letters, but they were unable to comprehend the idea of writing a letter to an opponent they knew would humiliate them historically.
