“I really think it started at the end of Caitlin’s freshman year when we beat Kentucky to go to the Sweet Sixteen,” Coach Bluder said of when the team beyond Caitlin started to think they could make a Final Four. “That Bubble really brought us together.”
"I mean, about the only people that believed were me and [Bluder] when I first committed to her," Clark said. "It was getting the locker room to believe and then everybody in the locker room believed and the rest is kind of history."
