Iowa junior guard Caitlin Clark is not only bringing attention to the Hawkeye program but to women’s basketball in general. The front runner for National Player of the Year is third in scoring in the country and second in assists. Iowa coach Lisa Bluder says Clark is receiving “rock star” status even for road games.

Bluder says Clark’s popularity is helping to grow the game.

Iowa is getting regular spots on national television and Bluder says Clark is a big part of that.

Hawkeye senior guard Kate Martin says Iowa is regularly playing in front of large crowds on the road.

Martin says the Hawkeyes are getting a lot of exposure nationally.

Martin says she is impressed with the way Clark handles on the national attention.

The 10th ranked Hawkeyes return to action on Saturday by hosting Nebraska. It will be the Hawkeyes’ second appearance on FOX this month.
