Big Ten Championship game between Iowa, Nebraska most-watched women's college basketball conference tournament game

Iowa and Nebraska women’s basketball made history as the most watched women’s conference tournament game. It was a banner day for the Big Ten.

“CBS Sports delivers the most-watched women’s college basketball conference tournament game ever on any network as the Big Ten Championship between Iowa and Nebraska averaged more than 3 million viewers and peaked with 4.450 million viewers in OT,” a release from CBS Sports read.

Caitlin Clark and the Hawkeyes kept it rolling with an epic victory over the Huskers, 94-89.

After the game, Clark spoke with sideline reporter AJ Ross on the whirlwind final eight minutes to the game.

She said the first half simply wasn’t good enough “across the board” and said the team had no choice but to figure it out at halftime and respond with a strong second half. “We never gave up. Proud of us.”

As she gave that answer, Clark was presented with the Most Outstanding Player award, and Ross asked if this on means more than the rest since it’s her last.

“You know, it’s really special. It’s really hard to get to this spot and Nebraska put up a really great fight, but thought we always responded and always had an answer for them. You know, it’s just special,” she answered. “I’m really proud of our group.”

In overtime, it was Clark who made huge baskets and then picked off a pass from Nebraska’s Jaz Shelley with just over 30 seconds to play an Iowa already up a bucket. Clark was fouled and sent to the line, where she sunk two free throws to make it a four-point margin.

On the next Nebraska possession, a Husker attempted to launch a 3-point shot but was rejected by Gabbie Marshall, who collected the ball called the timeout before she and Clark let out some screams of glory
