She was rocking the long braid like she did in college with the Iowa Hawkeyes. Some fans were bringing back one of her nicknames, the “braided pony.”

WNBA fans shared some emotional reactions, giving them nostalgia for the iconic Hawkeyes team with Martin, Caitlin Clark, and Gabbie Marshall.

Martin and Clark have since moved their talents to the WNBA, They may hold a professional mindset being in the league for over a month, but fans will always hold their love for Iowa and the 2023-24 roster.
