Yeah. Yeah. I think the biggest thing is, you know, coming to this day, honestly, I'm just fortunate. Like I know this is the end, um, to be able to have that, whether that's sad, whether that's happy, whether that's, you know, whatever. I think, you know, I knew this was the last time I was lacing them up to play for Iowa and, you know, being really content and have *** lot of closure in that. But, um, obviously, we started out *** little hot, um, but you know, they're gonna make *** run. Um, we were making some tough shots and. Um, they're really good. There's only so much you can do. You got to give them credit. I mean, what Coach Daley's been able to do with that program and, you know, those girls, *** lot of them didn't get *** ton of playing time last year. Um, you know, it, it's, it's really incredible and, um, you know, Cardoso is *** threat inside. Like there's only so much you can do as, you know, when Hannah's 6'1, guarding 67, and they killed us on the glass and, um, yeah, at that point, you got to shoot perfect, basically perfect to win, but. Um, so much to be proud of, so much to hold our heads high about, and yeah, it stinks, but, you know, life goes on. but you feel like you didn't do well. Honestly, like, you know, I didn't think there was anything we didn't do that we could have to really help ourselves. I mean, it would have been nice to make maybe *** few more shots. I thought they contested well on stuff. Um, I mean, I can say rebound, but I mean, we were trying our best like, like I said, like, you know, you can box out *** little bit better. Maybe if we come up with, you know. 5 more rebounds. It looks *** little different. I mean, in the first half, I think they had 19 points off of offensive rebounds. Like that's, that's *** huge swing in the game, but, um, you know, people fought on the glass, people did their best and, you know, that's all you can really ask. Mhm Yeah, I think, uh, I don't know. I mean, I think the biggest thing is like, I've tried to carry myself the same way no matter we've, if we've lost, whether if we've won, and, um, I guess that kind of just speaks to the way I was raised. Like, at the end of the day, basketball is just *** game. Like this isn't the end all be all for me. I know my career is over and, you know, it was sad going in that locker room the last time with *** group of seniors that I love to death and ***, *** team that, you know, this is the last time we're wearing our uniforms together and. Um, I don't know. I mean, there's so much to be thankful for, um, outside of basketball, and I think that's where I find my peace and calm and also like I reflect back on my career and I know I gave it every single thing I had and, um, there are so many people that basically everybody believed that there's no way I was making the Final Four once, but to do it twice, that's pretty incredible. Yeah, I thought, I thought she defended well. I thought they all defended well. I thought they pressured the ball well, um, you know, and. You know, when you get to this point in the tournament, everybody's defense is good, no matter what. Um, but yeah, I thought, I thought it was good. You know, I, I think it helps, I think, you know. What better way to like train and prepare for my next step in life than playing in the Final Four? That's the way I look at it. And obviously that's not my focus, but, um, you know, I'm lucky enough to continue to be playing in, you know, the beginning of April and, you know, I'll be able to play my first WNBA game here soon, but, um, I think just reflecting back and knowing, you know, these moments are gonna make me ready for the next chapter of my life, but also. Enjoying this one too. I think over the course of the next week or so. I know it's *** quick turnaround, but, um, you know, reflecting back and enjoying these moments and enjoying them with my family who's been here supporting me every step of the way will, you know, be the most special part of it for me. Yeah, I think what, you know, the biggest thing me and Kate talked about up on the stage was just like, It goes so much further than like any win we ever had. Sure, like we had some amazing wins. We had some great moments. We also had some bad moments and I think those bad moments are what has made us ready for these such great, you know, moments and really to seize the opportunity, but I think more than anything is like. I hope I showed everybody like how fun women's basketball is, how fun women's sports are. I brought joy to *** lot of families, whether you're *** young girl, your young boy or an older man, an older woman or, you know, people my grandma's age absolutely love our team, um, so I mean, I think we've affected so many people from young to old, uh, to really support *** team and support women's basketball, and to me like that's the coolest thing. Yeah. Well, obviously I believed in the moments of being in the Final Four, but to for it to be on this magnitude with the amount of people watching, with the amount of people here supporting, uh, with, I don't know, just all the attention in the spotlight, absolutely not. Um, I would not have thought that, and, um, you know, obviously being in the Final Four, that was my goal and to be able to accomplish that is something truly special, um, and you know, I think that's the biggest thing is, you know, just believe in yourself. Um, that's what I would tell my younger self, I think. I mean, looking back now, I think I would just be proud of the way I worked for this moment and earned it, you know, nothing was ever given like, you know, I was in the gym all the time, you know, I matured *** lot, um, mentally, physically, um, people believed in me, people pushed me, people held me accountable, um, and those are the things that I'm thankful for and that's like, that's why I'm here right now. Yeah. You're good. Honestly, like, I don't know if it's really hit me yet, um. Hugging my teammates and hugging my coaches was probably one of the hardest things to do and like I told all the younger ones, like, this is your team now. Like you guys are ready for these moments. Um, I think that's one of the biggest things about these seniors that are leaving is like we really show these younger girls what they're capable of and you know bought into them every single day and I'm so proud of them. uh, whether Han and Sid, especially like those two have been incredible all year long and two people that maybe didn't always get the recognition that they, that they deserved and. Um, I think the emotions will probably hit me over the course of the next 48 hours though. Yeah. High school. Mm. Yeah, I think, uh, it's one of the best decisions I've ever made in my life is, you know, committing to Coach Blutter and committing to play for the University of Iowa, whether it's, you know, the way our fans have supported me, whether it's been the way I've been able to represent my state where I grew up, and I love the game of basketball, whether it's been my family being at every single game, um, you know, there's not *** regret in my mind of how things went. Um, I'll be able to sleep every night even though I never won *** national championship, um. And I think that's the thing about everything I've done is like there's so much to be proud of. I don't sit and sulk about the things that never happened. I just, you know, my mom always taught me like, keep your head high, be proud of everything that you accomplished and, you know, I think I'm still hungry for *** lot more too. It's gonna be *** little weird, I think. Um, I'm probably gonna want to run out there on the court and keep playing for Coach Bluer. I wish I could have the best of both worlds, but I can't. Um, but this program's in really good hands, whether it's the girls we have on the team, whether it's the recruits we have committed, um, you know, it's in *** really, really good place, and I think the biggest thing is I hope our fans continue to support in the way that they, they have. They've always supported women's basketball, but on the magnitude and the level that it's been over the course of the last two years, I hope they continue to do the same because. You know, I can speak from *** player's perspective. We've really fed off of that. It's helped us win *** lot of games, um, but also these girls deserve it. They work really hard. They're special. Um, the way we play basketball is fun. um, it's uplifting, um, it's joyful, um, so you know, it'll be weird for *** little while, but, um, you know, I hope I can make it back to quite *** few games and support them.

Clark was the sixth player in NCAA women's basketball history to reach 1,000 assists and now ranks third with 1,139. Suzie McConnell has the record of 1,307 when she played at Penn State (1984-1988) and Florida International's Andrea Nagy is second with 1,165 (1991-1995).
5.15
Another 3-point record for Clark, who made 5.15 3-pointers per game as a senior. To help put this stat in perspective: She made more 3-pointers this season than 60% of the teams in Division I womenâs basketball did this season.

Clark had the option of playing a fifth season at Iowa because of the NCAA's COVID-19 waiver. But she announced in February that she was heading to the WNBA.

Clark became the 15th NCAA Division I womenâs player â and third Iowan â to surpass the 3,000-point mark in a win Dec. 6 against Iowa State.
The other Iowans in the 3,000 club include Lorri Bauman, who scored 3,115 points for Drake between 1980 and 1984, and Ashley Joens, who scored 3,060 points at Iowa State between 2018 and 2023. Bauman, of Des Moines, starred at East High School, where she scored 3,010 career points and helped the Scarlets win the 1979 state championship. Joens, of Iowa City, scored 2,178 points at City High, where she was a first-team all-state selection all four years.
Clark also has been named Big Ten Tournament MVP three straight years.

The Hawkeyes highest ranking of Clark's career. Iowa was ranked No. 1 during the 1987-88 season, which they finished with a 27-2 record under C. Vivian Stringer. They've been ranked No. 2 in the following seasons: 1992-93, 1993-94, 2022-23 and 2023-24

Clark failed to reach double-digit points only once in her Hawkeyes career. That happened Jan. 9, 2021 â her freshman season â when she scored eight in a loss at Northwestern.
She was held without a 3-point field goal just once in her career, as well: Jan. 13, 2022, in a win against Purdue. (She went 0-for-6.)
She's 1-of-1, unique in the fact that she's the only player in Division-I history with at least 3,800 points, 1,000 assists and 950 rebounds.
She's also expected to be the No. 1 overall pick in the next WNBA draft.
