“Dawg”: Preparing to Seek Revenge This Season, Caitlin Clark Hypes Up the Comeback of Iowa’s “Tough” Leader

As the new season of NCAA basketball is soon set to take place, the fans and basketball enthusiasts are excited to know what this season holds. The 2022-23 NCAA women’s basketball tournament witnessed a disappointing loss for the Iowa Hawkeyes after reaching the Finals of the tournament. This season the Hawkeyes will be looking for a comeback as well as a revenge. 

With the 2023-24 season soon about to take place, Iowa’s star, Caitlin Clark was seen hyping her teammate on social media.

The comeback of Iowa’s leader

Kate Martin is one of the most impressive players that has ever been seen in the history of Iowa Hawkeyes. Standing at 6 feet tall, Martin plays as a guard for the Hawkeyes and averages 7.7 points, 4.2 rebounds, and 3.6 assists. Her lock-up defensive strategies and ability to make her way to the basket made her a player that nobody wants to mess with. Her recent decision to make a comeback for the fifth season has the basketball excited.

With a talent like Martin’s, it’s no wonder that she has caught the attention and admiration of not only fans but even her teammates. In a recent video of ‘Big Network Women’s Basketball’, sports broadcaster Meghan Mckeown, highlighted how Martin was making waves in the world of college basketball and the impact she’ll have on the Hawkeyes this season.

She said, “At number 12, Iowa’s, Kate Martin is a player you love to have on your team. But you absolutely hate to play against because she’s versatile, she does all the little things it takes to win. And she is tough as nails, literally. She played with a broken nose for half a season once.”

Moreover, she expressed her confidence in Martin’s leadership by saying, “Martin put up nearly eight points per game, four boards a contest, and four assists in route to a trip to the national title game last season. Iowa fans are elated, Kate Martin decided to come back for a fifth year. And with the departure of Monika Czinano and McKenna Warnock, Kate Martin’s leadership is going to be huge for the Hawkeyes this season.” 

Seeing this video of her teammate, Iowa’s powerhouse, Caitlin Clark was seen hyping her teammate, by commenting on the post, “Dawg.” This comment of Clark shows the appreciation and close bond she shares with Martin.
