Caitlin Clark won the 2024 Jersey Mike’s Naismith Trophy for the second consecutive year in one of the least surprising award announcements ever. The Naismith Award goes to the most outstanding player in women’s college basketball. Clark beat out Cameron Brink (Standford), Paige Bueckers (UConn - and Iowa’s opponent Friday), and JuJu Watkins (USC phenom) to win the prestigious award. Clark became the 8th player to win the award back-to-back and the 10th overall to win the award multiple times. A Lisa Bluder-coached Iowa Hawkeye has won the award three times in the past six years; Megan Gustafson won it in 2019.
