Caitlin Clark proved why she was one of the most hyped players coming into the 2021 tournament as she led No. 5 seed Iowa to a 87-72 win over No. 12 seed Central Michigan.
“Definitely one of the top three players we’ll see all season,” Central Michigan coach Heather Oesterle said of Clark last week. “She’s very, very talented. In transition, she has the ability to get by people. In half-court, she can knock down 3-pointers. We’ve got to knock her off that 3-point line and keep the ball out of her hands as much as we can.
