Iowa junior Caitlin Clark has been named the Big Ten Player of the Year. It is the second straight season Clark has won the award and it has gone to an Iowa player five times in the past six years.

That’s Iowa coach Lisa Bluder. Clark is averaging better than 27 points, eight rebounds and nearly seven and a half assists.

The seventh ranked Hawkeyes are the second seed in the Big Ten Tournament in the Twin Cities and open Friday night against the winner of Thursday’s game between Purdue and Wisconsin.
