Fans have followed the Iowa Women’s Basketball team around the country this season, including sellouts at every Big Ten arena they played in. That fan support has continued to the Final Four, as the Hawkeyes are set to play in the national championship game on Sunday against South Carolina. On Saturday afternoon, Iowa took the court at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse for an open practice session. The arena seats over 19,000 and it was nearly full with fans for the entirety of the 50 minutes practice period. We have some highlights of Caitlin Clark and the Hawkeyes.
