Iowa Hawkeyes star Caitlin Clark believes the NCAA Women's Basketball Tournament is more popular than the men's this year and made the claim after Saturday's win.
Caitlin Clark nearly had a triple-double as she led No. 1-seeded Iowa over No. 16-seeded Holy Cross in the Round of 64 in the NCAA Women’s Basketball Tournament on Saturday. Clark, who had 27 points in front of her home crowd in Iowa City, made a bold statement following the 91-65 win. She felt that fans are more excited for the women’s tournament than the men’s.
There's been like a lot of little moments, I think just the crowds at our games, but also just like the people screaming and like wanting our autographs,' she said. 'Like people just scream my name constantly, and I think that's something that really never gets old or something you never take for granted.' VIEW THE MOMENT ON X.
The ratings at the end of each tournament will eventually signal fans’ attitudes toward the tournaments this season. Follow Fox News Digital’s sports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.
