Mark your calendars. An Iowa Hawkeyes legend is going up in the rafters at Carver-Hawkeye Arena who is unlike any other.
After giving us what was quite possibly the greatest collegiate basketball career of all time, Caitlin Clark will see her No. 22 jersey retired and hanging in the rafters.

To the rafters.

The Hawkeyes host the USC Trojans and JuJu Watkins at 12:30 p.m. CT in a game that was already must-see television airing on FOX and has now become even bigger and an even hotter ticket to get your hands on.
Caitlin Clark, the NCAA Division I all-time scoring leader with 3,951 points, has a laundry list of accomplishments and awards from her time at Iowa.
She was a three-time Unanimous First-Team All-American, three-time Big Ten Player of the Year, a two-time John Wooden Award winner, a two-time Naismith College Player of the Year, and many more to name just a few.
The first pick in the 2024 WNBA Draft, Clark only continued her legendary ways. She took the Indiana Fever back to the playoffs while winning the WNBA Rookie of the Year and being named an All-WNBA First-Team Selection.
Clark has also transformed the game off the court. She has brought in ratings unlike any female athlete ever before, sent ticket prices into the stratosphere, and transformed the way that the WNBA operates.
There was no like her before. There will be no one like her after. Caitlin Clark is one of one and her No. 22 will live on forever.
