Stress-free victories are the best victories for the Iowa Hawkeyes. Of course, this is obvious. Everyone wants to see their team win with ease. Nobody wants to watch a game dwindle down, wondering if they’re going to do enough to overcome the opposition.
You always want to see your team handle their business with ease, especially coming off a tough loss such as the Hawkeyes’ 100-92 defeat at the hands of Ohio State.
That next game is arguably more important than the initial loss, as one can surely snowball into two, three, and so on. Iowa needed to get their swagger back, hit the ground running, find their stride, or whatever cliche you think best applies to the situation. They did just that, defeating Nebraska, 92-73.
While wins like this are obviously great, there’s another perk that comes with games like this. It’s a great reminder, without the stress of hoping the team can pull the win out, that Caitlin Clark is something we’ve never seen before.
Another monster performance for Clark with 38 points, 10 rebounds, six assists. And it just feels so normal for her. Drink it in while you can. This isn’t going to last forever.
Hawkeye social media was certainly drinking it all in. Here are the best reactions to Clark’s masterful performance and the Hawkeyes’ big win over Nebraska.
