When the Holy Cross women’s basketball team landed in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, on Tuesday afternoon, the representative who greeted them was buzzing about women’s basketball — and specifically, Caitlin Clark.
The Crusaders reached March Madness for the second straight year by beating Boston University in Sunday’s Patriot League championship. They’re in the First Four as a No. 16 seed with a game against Tennesee-Martin on Thursday (9 p.m.) — much more winnable than their Round of 64 matchup against second-seeded Maryland last season.
If they prevail, the Crusaders get a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity: A dance with Clark and top-seeded Iowa, in front of a Carver-Hawkeye Arena crowd that sold out tickets in 30 minutes, televised Saturday (3 p.m.) on ABC.
