[Saba Sports News] Iowa’s Caitlin Clark honored Kobe Bryant splendidly on Sunday, leading her team to a third consecutive Big Ten Tournament championship with a 94-89 overtime victory against Nebraska. Clark’s standout performance included 34 points, 7 rebounds, and 12 assists, highlighted by a crucial three-pointer late in overtime.
Beyond her on-court heroics, Clark recreated Kobe Bryant’s memorable post-2001 NBA Finals photo, capturing herself with the trophy in a similar fashion. This tribute resonates deeply, considering Bryant’s advocacy for women’s basketball and his legacy as a “girl dad.”
Clark, who has now clinched three successive Big Ten Tournament MVP titles, aims to cap her college career with the elusive NCAA women’s championship before potentially entering the WNBA.
