No. 8 Maryland women’s basketball and No. 6 Iowa have been neck-and-neck in the AP poll lately and there was palpable momentum leading up to Thursday night’s game between the two Big Ten juggernauts.
Junior guard Caitlin Clark made quick work of Maryland and showed the separation between the two programs. Her dominance and 27.1 points-per-game scoring average this year have taken the nation by storm. Enter the offensive prowess of Terps senior guard Diamond Miller, and there’s cause for fans to be on the edge of their seats and cheer for a competitive game.
Clark made sure those cheers were directed at her in the Hawkeyes’ 96-82 victory over Maryland.
