IOWA CITY, Iowa — Iowa head coach Lisa Bluder initially intended to honor the gravity of the moment with a timeout. Then she heard word of her superstar point guard’s feelings on the matter and second-thought it.
“I hope they don’t stop the game,” Caitlin Clark, ever a competitor, told a group of reporters on Wednesday. “We can’t be wasting timeouts on that, come on now.”
For the Hawkeyes, their meeting with Michigan on Thursday night is an opportunity to bounce back from a late collapse against Nebraska with bigger goals in mind.
