She has been averaging around 7 assists a game as well and I'm guessing that she would average at least 10 per game if others just finished off those great feeds that she gives them. Monica seems to blow a couple, or more, potential assists for Clark by missing shots that she normally makes.
Caitlin Clark: Nation's BEST GUARD. USBWA 1st Team All American. WBCA&USBWA Nat'l Freshman of YR. 799 Pts is Iowa FR Record. 26.6 PPG is #1 in Nation

- Start date
It seems like Gary Barta has really ticked off Indiana. I’d be interested to see what happens next September.
Some of her passes are as amazing as her shots. She's something
If Clark finishes with her current scoring average, it will be the SECOND-highest by a freshman in Division I women's history.
The top three now are:
* San Diego State's Tina Hutchinson at 29.9 in 1983-84
* Appalachian State's Valorie Whiteside at 27.1 in 1984-85
* Delaware's Elena Delle Donne at 26.7 in 2009-10 (ESPN Stats & Info).

Should UConn's Paige Bueckers win national player of the year?
No freshman has ever been named the national women's player of the year, but the UConn star has made a compelling case. Who else is in the running?
The best scoring freshman in the 21st century deserves to be the national Freshman of the Year!
They only play with ONE ball........
Just kidding, BUT would she be playing the same role if Doyle was on the team? Obviously if MG was still in the post there be less scoring for her and KD as well...

Caitlin had 35 points in Iowa's 83-75 win vs Little Debbie.

Not following the women's season closely, but how did she not win B1G player of the year?
Only knock is high turnover rate.. and can be pretty obvious on her displeasure of how the game is officiated. ... to be fair the officiating in the big ten goes from ok to comical too often..IMHO
She was off yesterday and still got 27 points. She is an incredible talent and a true freshman at that.
I was hoping she could get the triple double.
Without getting to watch the women much this year, it was apparent vs Purdue that we do not guard the perimeter very well. It was frustrating to watch them allow Purdue to hang around so long in last night’s game, all because they didn’t have the energy or hustle to guard the PU 3- point shooters.
Hopefully that 3-point showing for us was the exception and not the rule.

Thoughts on who wins Freshman of the Year?
It'll be Paige and it likely won't be close, and it'll be due to the logo next to her head. Not saying it should or shouldn't be, but like everything else in the world; politics.
Agree, with the talent around her (Paige) she never needs to force anything. Not so at Iowa, sometimes the team wants her to take over, not always but in stretches.
Caitlin figured out last night to feed the big dog but Monica was lights out, not always the case.

that game was a street fight.... actually all the Iowa womens games are “physical” those girls are going to need some ice tonight.... I don’t know much about basketball but it sure seems like they let them play in women’s games

Do women ever go pro early or does everybody end up staying all 4 years? She could end up with ridiculous career stats if she’s healthy for 4 years.
I don't recall any super star players leaving early for the WNBA.
Remember Sabrina Ionescu from Oregon? Some speculated she might leave after her junior year but she stayed all 4 years.
And remember, this is a free year. Clark could play 4 more years after this year (unlikely, of course).
and isn't the rest of the team 1 junior and 3 sophomores? The future looks good. And good recruits coming in the next 2 classes.
At least 10 assists tonight against Rutgers. Plays way beyond her years
The present looks good, too. After tonight's win, Iowa moved up to a #6 seed, according to ESPN.
The ESPN Bracketologist wrote this;
Lower-seeded teams won in three of the four Big Ten tournament quarterfinals on Thursday: fifth-seeded Northwestern over 4-seed Michigan, No. 7 seed Michigan State over second-seeded Indiana and 6-seed Iowa over No. 3 seed Rutgers. That resulted in a better Bracketology seed for Iowa (jumped one line to a No. 6) and a seed line lost for both Indiana (down to a No. 4) and Michigan (down to a No. 6). Meanwhile, the lone bubble team still playing -- Oklahoma -- takes the court for the first time in the Big 12 tournament on Friday. Wins over Oklahoma State and possibly West Virginia would put the Sooners in the field.

It’s becoming more common recently. I believe Satou Sabally (Oregon) and Chennedy Carter (Texas A&M) left early last year. Charli Collier (Texas), who might be #1 pick this year, just declared early as a junior.
My understanding, under the current WNBA rules, is that technically Caitlin wouldn’t be eligible for the WNBA draft until she’s a senior because she doesn’t turn 22 until January of her senior year. The WNBA requires a player to be 22 in the year of the draft. Paige Bueckers from UConn, however, would be eligible after her junior year because she would turn 22 several months earlier. At least that is my understanding of how it works. I’m sure the WNBA could change those rules but I don’t know if that has to be collectively bargained or not.
Monika Czinano is a junior & just reached 1,000 points.
Clark will reach 700 points tonight.
Incredible ONE_TWO punch.

In the first video: Against elite teams, this type of pass probably does not work. Pretty, nevertheless
Check these out & watch:
Check these out & watch:
Amanda Zowie B (sp) from Minnesota left school early, but I don't know if she ended up in the WNBA or overseas. She torched Iowa for 30 and 20 one year.
I wasn't sure if the iowa women were playing the Rutgers mens or womens team last night
Monica is leading the nation in FG%, if anything, Clark gets extra assists because of who she is passing to. Kind of like how JBo only set the record because he has great shooters and Luka around him.
