Caitlin Clark and the Iowa Hawkeyes are moving on to the Sweet 16 in the NCAA Tournament, but they had to sweat through a tough game against West Virginia on Monday night.
The No. 1 seed Iowa Hawkeyes in the women’s basketball NCAA Tournament are heading back to the Sweet 16, but it was no easy task against the No. 8 West Virginia Mountaineers. The Hawkeyes defeated the Mountaineers, 64-54, but they needed to scratch and claw their way to victory in surprising fashion. It was a slow start for Iowa after they went down 11-5 early in the first quarter, but they managed to leave it with a 20-15 lead.
Hemingway and JJ Quinerly couldn’t knock down three-pointers in hopes of taking a late lead. As a result, the Mountaineers were forced to foul to keep their chances alive, but they were sending Caitlin Clark, the NCAA all-time points leader, to the free throw line. Clark knocked down her free throw attempts in the final minute and finished with a game-high 32 points. Hannah Stuelke also secured her final free throws to collect the win and breathe a sigh of relief.
