Junior guard Sydney Affolter says the whole team knows they should be ready at any time to get the ball from Caitlin Clark.

Affolter says conditioning has been a key to being able to play their up-tempo style.

For senior guard Gabbie Marshall, it’s a homecoming for her final college games. The Cincinnati native knows she’ll have a lot of people in the stands supporting her.

Marshall says Affolter has stepped in and excelled after the injury to Molly Davis.

Marshall says Affolter’s poise has been the key to her success in the starting lineup.
