Iowa women’s basketball fans have witnessed a rare sight over their team’s last two games: poor shooting performances from Caitlin Clark. During Iowa’s trip to Indiana, Clark shot 8-26 from the field and 3-16 from three and followed that up with a 6-18 shooting day on Sunday’s home tilt with Illinois. Against the Hoosiers, Clark was surrounded by defenders as soon as she crossed half court, forcing her to either give up the ball or take contested shots with multiple defenders nearby. With her teammates shooting only 2-12 from three and missing several open looks, Clark eventually stopped deferring and started pressing matters on offense, resulting in an inefficient shooting performance and a decisive 17-point loss.
