Caitlin Clark and the Iowa Hawkeyes are once again Big Ten Tournament champions, though overtime was needed to defeat the Nebraska Cornhuskers, 94-89, on Sunday.
The Iowa Hawkeyes women’s basketball team are Big Ten Tournament champions for the third straight season, but the Nebraska Cornhuskers did not make things easy on Sunday afternoon.
All eyes were, of course, on Caitlin Clark’s performance in yet another championship game for the conference, especially considering she was named Most Outstanding Player the past two years.
But Clark had a slow start in this game, going 0-for-9 from three-point territory as Nebraska won the first quarter, 23-17, and went into halftime leading 46-35.
However, a strong second half from the Hawkeyes got them right back in the game. They tied it up by the end of the third quarter, and after going back and forth in the fourth quarter, this game needed to go to overtime.
Kate Martin played a big role in overtime, assisting on the first basket to Hannah Stuelke to make it 79-77.
