Kim Mulkey paid Caitlin Clark the ultimate compliment.
Mulkey and Clark had a moment in the handshake line and the LSU coach said she told Iowa’s star, “I sure am glad you’re leaving.
Girl you’re something else. Never seen anything like it.”
Mulkey has called college basketball’s all-time scoring leader a generational player, and she’s proven that against LSU.
The Tigers routed Iowa to win the national title last year despite Clark scoring 30.
On Monday night, she was even better, scoring 41 points, including 27 from 3-point range. She also had 12 assists and seven rebounds.
“She can’t beat you by herself. It’s what she does to make those other teammates better,” Mulkey said.
When does Caitlin Clark play next? Key dates and times for the women’s NCAA March Madness tournament
Caitlin Clark and the Iowa Hawkeyes face the LSU Tigers today in the Elite 8, a rematch of the 2023 women’s NCAA tournament championship game.
The Tigers dominated the Hawkeyes in the 2023 tournament final, winning 102-85, a game that pitted Clark against LSU’s charismatic superstar Angel Reese.
Clark and Reese’s rivalry dates back before last year’s championship game. Both players claim there are no hard feelings, just competitive basketball, but the Tigers vs. Hawkeyes rivalry hits deep.
The victor of today’s game will move on to the Final Four, but a Hawkeyes win today also means avenging last year’s championship loss.
Keep reading to find out how to watch Caitlin Clark play next, and what the road to a national championship looks like with a Hawkeyes win in the Elite 8.
