It was another great season for the Iowa Hawkeyes that saw them come just one game short of accomplishing their ultimate goal.
This time, Caitlin Clark and company fell to the South Carolina Gamecocks in the national championship game, 87-75. It was a heartbreaking defeat, especially after the Hawkeyes got out to a commanding 10-0 lead. But just as South Carolina has shown all year long, they were too much for their competition.
Despite the slow start, the Gamecocks still managed to take a three-point lead into the half. And they outscored them by nine in the second half, en route to becoming the tenth team in NCAA women’s basketball history to go undefeated and win the national championship.
As for the Iowa Hawkeyes, they are forced to endure another heartbreaker. And while there’s no denying that they’ve had an incredible two year run and have gained a ton of fans along the way, there are still some who are calling Caitlin Clark and her teammates, “Chokers.”

Clark may have lost two championship games in a row, but just think of all the female basketball superstars out there this season who didn’t even make it this far. Clark has helped lead this Hawkeyes team much further than they would have ever gotten had she not been on their squad. She and her Iowa teammates have nothing to be ashamed or embarrassed about, no matter what the haters may think.
What’s Next For Caitlin Clark?
With Clark’s historic college basketball career behind her, it is now on to bigger and better things for the NCAA all-time leading scorer.
Clark announced earlier that she’ll be making the jump to the WNBA, as she declared for the 2024 draft. Whichever team is lucky enough to draft her will not only be getting a great player, but they’ll also be getting a major attraction, as Caitlin Clark is expected to draw quite the crowd wherever she goes.
One team is even changing their venue in anticipation of the larger crowds that Clark is sure to bring.
