They certainly didn’t make it easy, but Caitlin Clark and No. 2 Iowa are headed to the Sweet 16.
The Hawkeyes escaped a tight battle with No. 10 Georgia on Sunday afternoon in Iowa City in the second round of the NCAA tournament. They won, 74-66, thanks to a final defensive stand that held the Bulldogs scoreless in the final two minutes of the game and resulted in them committing a pair of flagrant fouls in the final seconds.
Clark, a national player of the year favorite, dropped 22 points and had 12 assists in the win.
