NCAA Big Ten: Caitlin Clark Craze Goes Next Level as Fans’ Urgency Piles Up for Iowa Superstar’s Glimpse

The craze and popularity that Iowa’s Caitlin Clark has garnered is difficult to match. The reigning national player has left a lasting impression with her talent on anyone who is passionate about college basketball. As a result, the fans don’t want to leave a chance to witness her impeccable skills on the court.

In the backdrop of this growing stardom, Iowa is currently observing an extreme rise in ticket sales, no matter where they travel. The iconic point guard who recently emerged table topper in NCAA points history is clearly boosting the Iowa brand.

Caitlin Clark creates an interesting off-court record

The iconic No.22 of the Hawkeyes has made some noteworthy headlines once again. Her adulation has scripted a historic record for the Big 10 Conference. Recently, there was an announcement made by the conference that the Big Ten women’s basketball tournament has received an advance sold-out for the first time ever. It’s anticipated that the Target Center will host a record number of 109,000 people in its five-day attendance. Moreover, this number is expected to rise.

If we take a look back, the previous record at the Target Center was set last year with the sum total reaching 47,923. One of the major reasons why Minneapolis is receiving so much heed is the city’s proximity to Iowa. A five-hour drive seems to separate these two cities. No wonder it’s able to make the most of Clark’s popularity and makes itself an ideal location for the fans to witness the NCAA women’s leading scorer in action.

Speaking of witnessing Clark in action, she will be taking the court next against Illinois.

Iowa’s next challenge

After a disappointing effort against Hoosiers, Caitlin Clark and Co. will lock horns against the Fighting Illini next. It will be a tough task for Lisa Bluder’s crew as Illinois is coming off a fresh win against Indiana.

Nonetheless, the Hawkeyes have a formidable 11-1 record at home which deems them as favorites going into the contest. However, they still won’t underestimate Illinois as they have shown in the past that they have players who are qualified enough to cause an upset. So, fans will be expecting an enticing contest between both these quality sides.
