Sydney Affolter overlooked Caitlin Clark and salvaged Iowa’s March Madness run.

IOWA CITY, Iowa— The end was near.

The score was tied. There was a little more than two minutes remaining. West Virginia had the ball — and momentum. Carver-Hawkeye Arena held its breath.

After a block by Iowa’s Gabbie Marshall, the Hawkeyes reclaimed possession. Caitlin Clark stood close, contemplating whether her senior season would continue.

She put her hands up, asking for the ball. It didn’t arrive. So, the greatest scorer in Division I history extended both her arms as high as possible, begging to deliver another unforgettable 3-point dagger in her final home game.
