Clark’s maturity helped her and Iowa overcome a cold start in the Big Ten championship game

Caitlin Clark threw her arms up in disbelief at one point during the first half of the Big Ten championship game, as if she were ready to scream at the ball for being so uncooperative. The first-half stats for the NCAA's all-time leader in made 3-pointers were cringe-worthy: 0 for 9 from deep with just four points as Iowa trailed Nebraska by 11 at the break. Clark suggested afterward those first 20 minutes accounted for the worst first half of her career.
