Iowa women's basketball stays No. 4 in latest AP Top 25 poll
TIME RIVALRY ON A NIGHT LIKE TONIGHT, THROW OUT THE RECORD BOOK. IGNORE WHO’S SUPPOSEDLY FAVORED BECAUSE IT WAS THE CY-HAWK GAME. A RIVALRY GAME. AND IN THOSE ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN. I WAS STATING THEIR YOUNG GROUP OF FRESHMEN LOOKING TO PULL OFF THE UPSET AGAINST CAITLIN CLARKE, WHO WAS LOOKING FOR 3000 CAREER POINTS AND HOW ABOUT THIS FOR A START FOR THE DOWLING CATHOLIC GRAD CLARKE KNOCKING DOWN A TRIPLE AND WE ARE OFF AND RUNNING LITTLE LATER ON. IT’S FIVE THREE IOWA CLARKE AGAIN FROM DEEP IOWA TAKING AN EIGHT THREE LEAD. BUT THIS IOWA STATE TEAM WAS READY FOR THE CHALLENGE. ALL NIGHT LONG, THEY WORK DOWN LOW DOTTED CROOKS WITH A BEAUTIFUL POST MOVE. IOWA STATE TAKES ITS FIRST LEAD OF THE GAME 1513. AND FROM THERE ON OUT, IT WAS A SEESAW. CLARKE THE THREE OFF THE PASS FROM MOLLY DAVIS. SHE HAD 15 POINTS IN THE FIRST HALF ALONE. BUT THE YOUNG CYCLONES RESPOND EACH AND EVERY TIME. CROOKS WITH A DEEP AND RARE THREE POINTER. THE CROWD WAS LOVING IT. SHE HAD 12 IN THE FIRST HALF. WE WERE TIED AT 34. AT THE BREAK IN THE THIRD QUARTER, WE HAD THAT HISTORIC MOMENT. HAWKEYES PUSHING THE FLOOR. GABBY MARSHALL DUMPS IT OFF TO CLARK, WHO DOWNS THAT THREE AND WITH IT SURPASSES 3000 CAREER POINTS. THE FIRST HAWKEYE TO DO THAT IN 15TH WOMEN’S BASKETBALL PLAYER IN NCAA HISTORY TO PASS THAT MILESTONE CYCLONES THOUGH HOPING TO RUIN THE SPECIAL NIGHT DOWN 5453. HANNAH BELLINGER FROM THE RIGHT CORNER GIVES THE CYCLONES A 5554 LEAD AND IOWA CALLS TIME OUT CROWD ON THEIR FEET. JUICY WIGGLE IN FULL EFFECT. BUT EXPERIENCE PROVED HUGE DOWN THE STRETCH. KATE MARTIN WAS SUPERB. 5655 HAWKEYE LEAD CLARKE ON THE BREAK FINDS THE CUTTING. MARTIN, WHO FINISHES AT THE RIM HAWKEYES EXTEND THEIR LEAD TO THREE AND HERE’S THE DAGGER CLARK WITH A GREAT MOVE DOWN LOW AROUND ARIANA JACKSON FOR THE LAYUP HAWKEYES UP SIX THEY’D OUTSCORE IOWA STATE 13 TO 3 DOWN THE STRETCH AND LEAVE HILTON COLISEUM WITH A WIN 6758 A REALLY SOLID PERFORMANCE FOR THIS YOUNG IOWA STATE TEAM. BUT THIS NIGHT BELONGED TO CAITLIN CLARK, 35 POINTS AND A HISTORIC 3000 POINT MILESTONE. IT’S IT’S SPECIAL TO BE ABLE TO DO IT HERE. I HAVE A LOT OF FAMILY IN ATTENDANCE AND AND BE ABLE TO SEE THAT AND BUT IT WAS KIND OF THE SAME WHEN I BROKE THE IOWA SCORING RECORD. WE KEEP PLAYING THAT IS A VERY HARD THING TO DO. AND TO DO IT THIS EARLY IN HER SENIOR SEASON IS AMAZING. I THINK A LOT OF PEOPLE THOUGHT WE WERE JUST GOING TO ROLL OVER AND DIE AND LET THEM DO WHAT THEY WANTED TO DO. BUT I THOUGHT WE SHOWED A LOT OF TENACITY. WE SHOWED A LOT OF FIGHT AND WE COMPETED AND WITH FOUR MINUTES LEFT, WE WERE UP REPORTING FROM HILTON COLISEUM, J
