CLEVELAND – Caitlin Clark gave us what we didn’t know was possible.
She threw passes that no one could anticipate.
She landed shots from other area codes.
She scored more points than any player in history.
She made Iowa City the coolest city in sports.
She gave her sport a moment that was never planned.
She left so many memories, produced so much joy, made so many people fall in love with a sport that has always been lived in the shadows.
She will have one more day.
She will have a chance to achieve everything she desires most.
Recovering from an early 12-point deficit, No. 1 Iowa earned a 71-69 victory over No. 3 UConn in Friday night’s national semifinals at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse to return to contention for the national title for the second year in a row.
The Hawkeyes (34-4), who played their first-ever championship game in last year’s loss to LSU, will meet No. 1 South Carolina (37-0) in a rematch of the battle of last year’s Final Four, in which Clark scored. 41 points and inflicted on the Gamecocks their only defeat of the season.
