Every word and gesture scrutinized, a $5 million offer to play 10 games against men — every day is bringing greater attention on Caitlin Clark as Iowa proceeds in the NCAA women’s basketball tournament.

Second-ranked Iowa and No. 17 Colorado collide in an NCAA women’s basketball regional semifinal Saturday at MVP Arena. Last year, the Hawkeyes claimed an 87-77 decision over the Buffaloes in a Sweet 16 encounter at Seattle, then eventually advanced all the way to the national-championship game.

Time, TV and notes for Saturday’s NCAA women’s basketball tournament regional-semifinal game between No. 2 Iowa and No. 17 Colorado.

Iowa women’s basketball star guard Caitlin Clark has earned a spot on the U.S. women’s basketball training camp roster, USA Basketball announced Thursday in a news release. The roster is subject to change.

Kirk Ferentz is “certainly not a basketball expert,” but the longest-tenured FBS head coach praised Caitlin Clark’s vision and demeanor, among other qualities.

Sydney Affolter made Iowa’s only basket of the fourth quarter Monday night against West Virginia’s ruthless defense. The biggest basket of the game is what it was.

Defense — and free throws — saved the day, and No. 2 Iowa fought past West Virginia, 64-54, in an NCAA women’s basketball second-round game before a sellout crowd of 14,324 Monday night at Carver-Hawkeye Arena.

NCAA women’s basketball: Iowa’s 92.8-point scoring rate leads the nation; so does West Virginia’s plus-8.8 turnover differential. The Hawkeyes and the Mountaineers collide Monday with a spot in the Sweet 16 on the line.

Hannah Stuelke didn’t play in the second half of Iowa’s 91-65 first-round NCAA women’s basketball tournament win over Holy Cross. The Hawkeyes’ second-leading scorer and an all-Big Ten second-teamer, Stuelke confirmed afterward that she was suffering from “probably” a migraine.

A stretch without Caitlin Clark, a 10-0 gem late in the first quarter, sprung Iowa out of a small early hole, and the second-ranked Hawkeyes subdued Holy Cross, 91-65, in the first round of the NCAA women’s basketball tournament before a sellout crowd of 14,324 Saturday afternoon at Carver-Hawkeye Arena.

Holy Cross, to its eternal credit, didn’t bend the knee to Caitlin Clark or Iowa. But 16th-seeds don’t win games like this, so the Hawkeyes immediately move on to tougher obstacles.

West Virginia Coach Mark Kellogg went viral — and roused Iowa fans — with his comment last Sunday after the NCAA women’s basketball tournament pairings were released.
