Caitlin Clark’s senior season has been filled with questions:
How many points would she score today? How far did that shot come from? Did you see that?
Would she return to Iowa? Which records would she break? Would she be affected by an unprecedented spotlight? How much more would she grow the game?
With one game left in her legendary collegiate career, only one question remains: Will she go out on top?
The greatest scorer in Division I history enters Sunday’s title game against South Carolina with an opportunity to bring the first national championship to her home state, with a chance to avenge last year’s title loss to LSU, with another 40 minutes to muzzle every critic who insists a ring is required for entry into all-time debates.
“Everybody would come up to me before the season started and was, like, ‘Only one thing left to do,’ ” Clark said. “I don’t want this to end, whether it’s with a win or with a loss. I think the biggest thing is you have that little fire inside of you. I’ve had some tough losses, and I think those are the moments that have prepared me for right now, for this opportunity.”
Few players have ever had more at stake in a single game.
