Losing at home on the day Caitlin Clark's jersey was retired by the Iowa women's basketball program would have sent the fans at Carver-Hawkeye Arena home on a down note. So the Hawkeyes didn't let that happen.
Iowa upset No. 4 USC, 76-69, on Sunday afternoon in front of a sold-out crowd that included Clark's teammates Kate Martin and Gabbie Marshall, former Hawkeyes coach Lisa Bluder, new Indiana Fever coach Stephanie White and legendary late-night TV host David Letterman.
The Trojans took their first loss in Big Ten play and only their second overall defeat of the season.
