I wasn’t. Not one bit. Even when they tried to jinx her by sharing the 4-4 stat. I knew they would be money.
I love this team.

Was Anyone Else Not Nervous on Clark’s FTs?
- Thread starter spiderland
- Start date
I was shocked she almost drew iron on one of them. Where did you dig up this girl? My god, she has to be the best player I’ve ever seen.
Home grown baby, home grown!
She's just a different breed out there. Might be mentally tougher than anyone that's played Iowa basketball as a man or a woman in a long, long time.
I say this in the nicest way possible....
She is a hard ass bitch!

I was nervous the entire game. That was an edge of your seat awesome game. It's staying on my dvr for a long time.

On the rebound I was dancing around the room. I knew it was over at that point.
Was texting with a former colleague who’s a Purdue grad late in the 4th when we were up by about 3. I said I’m glad that it’s a close game and that we have Caitlin Clark.
Yeah, no. Caitlin is a cold-blooded assassin. Never the slightest doubt that she’d knock down as many FT’s as it took.
I think that's how LeBron described her.

This was a basketball game played at the highest level. We are very fortunate to be part of it. What a win, what a program Lisa has rolling.
Of course, Caitlin is unreal.

Caitlin is the girl fathers want their sons to be like.
It’s like watching a video game when she’s in there
Nope, you knew there was no way she was missing them. She’s a big moment player.
Crazy thing is that she really didn’t play all that well by her standards. Missed a couple of layups an several threes that she usually knocks down. Also made some ill-advised passes that resulted in turnovers, probably more than usual.
The ESPN crew was in awe of her performance but Hawk fans be like, “Meh, kind of a ho-hum game for Caitlin.” She’s phenomenal.

I was a little nervous, but not nearly as nervous as I would be if someone else were on the line.
This. I mean what other teams have their star player interviewed going into half? She just shrugs it all off. Pretty remarkable.
Team was 14 - 14 on free throws tonight. That was key when get out rebounded so badly.
From the suburbs of Des Moines. Iowa is actually churning out really good players, and coaches in both the men's and women's game right now. The #1 recruit in 9th grade is from Iowa. Two All- Americans (Clark-1st, Joens-3rd) are both from Iowa.
5* from Waukee picked ISU 🤮 for guys.
For a state with only 3.3 mil and two major college programs, we are hanging in there. I'm always jealous of Wisconsin, Nebraska, Minnesota, Missouri, Arkansas, Tennessee (Memphis?), Ohio St. (Cincy), Maryland, Rutgers. Yes, you have to compete with some big schools for hoops in your state but for football, you should get all the home grown talent you want.
Her last 4 free throws at that point in the game said everything about Caitlin Clark that you’ll ever need to know.
Regarding those 4 free throws, from ESPN.com:
Teammate Kate Martin said sometimes she has to remind herself she's playing alongside someone who could very well be in the early stages of one of the great careers in women's basketball history.
When Clark went to the foul line twice in the last 14 seconds for high-pressure free throws to seal the victory, Martin wasn't nervous.
"I would take her at the line all day over anybody in the world," Martin said. "I'm proud of her. She deserves all the recognition. I see it all the time. I know I'll appreciate it even more when one day when I'm older and I'm looking back and thinking, 'Wow, that was my teammate.'"

Caitlin Clark, Iowa and the stuff of legends
On the biggest stage, when the lights are the brightest, Caitlin Clark plays her biggest games. Another 41-point performance has Iowa one win away from its first NCAA title.
I 3was a bit miffed about that- Sh-ould have been with her teammates in the lockerroom, //talking to the coaches and resting a bit.
I was really nervous until I saw the pupils in her cold dead merciless eyes, like staring into the abyss of a dark bottomless well. Then I just felt sorry for SC. They had no chance.
Only reason Ol' Doodle had a tiny bit of anxiety (and by tiny bit, Doodle means incalculably enormous amount) is because of how completely gassed she was at that point.
You could tell she was exhausted, and that's when free throw mechanics can break down...for humans anyway. Luckily, she's borderline metahuman.
