Caitlin Clark stats tracker during March Madness: How many points has Iowa star scored?
Caitlin Clark is off to the WNBA soon, but before she goes, the back-to-back national player of the year has another Final Four to attend.
Scratch that. She doesn't just have another Final Four to attend, but another national championship game. Because after a thrilling 71-69 win over UConn in the semifinal, a game that featured seven ties, two lead changes and one end-of-game controversial foul call, Clark and the Hawkeyes are headed back to the national championship.
Behind 21 points from Clark and 23 points from Hannah Stuelke, Iowa earned a date with South Carolina in the national title game Sunday. It will be a rematch of last year's semifinal, when Clark and the Hawkeyes stunned the undefeated Gamecocks. Since March 31, 2023, South Carolina hasn't lost a game. Can Clark & Co. play heartbreaker again?
Iowa started the 2024 NCAA Tournament with a win, as Clark scored 27 against Holy Cross in a 91-65 victory. Then the Hawkeyes survived West Virginia, 64-65 before handling Colorado 89-68 in the Sweet 16. In the Elite Eight, Clark and top-seeded Iowa got their revenge on LSU, beating the Tigers 94-87 behind 41 points from Clark.
Last year, Clark led the Hawkeyes to their first Final Four in 30 years. After stunning top-ranked South Carolina in the semifinals, Clark & Co. lost to LSU and Most Outstanding Player Angel Reese, 102-85, in the national title matchup.
Clark’s been busy since then, becoming the top scorer in women’s and men’s Division I college basketball while hitting 196 3s (and counting) this season, an NCAA record previously held by Stephen Curry of Davidson.
As Clark continues to rewrite the record books, USA TODAY Sports is tracking all her stats during the NCAA Tournament.
