Caitlin Clark inspired Jack Gohlke, the biggest star of men’s March Madness
In their quest for an upset over top-seeded Iowa, the No. 5-seeded Buffs must find a way to contain Clark, a task easier said than done given her dominance on the court. However, Colorado may draw inspiration from Iowa’s second-round matchup against West Virginia, where Clark‘s reduced assist numbers hinted at a potential strategy for limiting her impact.
Colorado’s experience and veteran lineup could prove pivotal, with the Buffs boasting a seasoned roster that has already secured notable wins this season. Returning players from last year’s Sweet 16 showdown against Iowa provide additional motivation for revenge, further fueling Colorado’s determination.
While the game is expected to be closely contested, Iowa’s reliance on Clark‘s game-changing abilities may ultimately tip the scales in their favor.
“I want to give a full effort,” he said Clark.
“I want to rely on a team and other people around me.
“I know not everything can be done by myself, and I have a lot of people that support me, whether it’s my teammates, whether it’s my coaches, whether it’s my family.”
