The lights were never too bright for the Iowa Hawkeyes in this one. FOX had Gus Johnson in town for the call with the game nationally televised against another top-20 Big Ten team.
It didn’t phase Iowa for one second. The Hawkeyes took full advantage of the spotlight and never let the Indiana Hoosiers have a second to breathe on their way to an 84-57 blowout win inside Carver-Hawkeye Arena in front of a sellout crowd. A crowd that packed the place despite slow, snowy travel and frigid temperatures.
Caitlin Clark put on another masterpiece for the nation to see with dazzling assists at the forefront and her incredible shooting range. But, Clark had her sidekicks Gabbie Marshall, Kate Martin, and Molly Davis shining just as bright in the biggest moment of the year up to this point for the Hawkeyes.
The win propels Iowa into outright first place in the Big Ten as conference plays continue to be a gauntlet for each team to trek through. With this win, here are the takeaways from the statement performance made by Iowa.
