My daughter is 12 years old never ever has she been interested in any sports, she started watching Iowa lady Hawkeyes this season because of her friends and fell in love with Caitlyn Clark, she has me March 3rd if I could buy her a basketball ball goal so she can learn to play like Clark. Found myself at the sporting goods store the next day, since then she has been outside just shooting and dribbling for hours, even when it’s lightly raining outside. She’s even waiting to tryout for her school’s basketball team next year and I’m so excited. These young women for the Iowa have inspired my baby girl and I couldn’t be prouder. Thank you Iowa and thank you CC22 all the way from Fort Smith Ar.
Im from the Philippines and binge watched Caitlin Clark games since she broke the record from the Logo and brought me to admire the whole team of Iowa Hawkeyes. What a team. What a story. I love this documentary. Cant wait to see the Last Dance featuring Caitlin Clark for 2024. A once in a lifetime experience and a 1 of 1 greatness and charisma that is Caitlin Clark. Cheers 🥂
Jesus Christ what an emotional rollercoaster. 4 weeks ago I never heard of the Hawkeyes, of Caitlin Clark, of the NCAA Championships, and here I am bawling my ass off watching this. More emotional lows and highs of all the Mission Impossible films added together! Thank you to all those who put this film together and for posting it on TH-cam. I look forward to the documentary about the 23/24 season, culminating in Kate's draft pick by LV Aces and interviews with Monica from Budapest!!
I’m a Californian man who’s had zero interest in women’s sports. Until Caitlin Clark; true greatness in sports is a rare thing. And it’s a pleasure, privilege to watch.
Sir, I'm a California woman who's been watching WBB since 1996, and while I'm truly happy that you've come aboard (and hope you stay here), there have been many great players before Clark: Lisa Leslie, Tina Thompson, Tamika Catchings, Chamique Holdsclaw, Diana Taurasi, Maya Moore, Seimone Augustus (my fave--the smoothest jump shot ever), Breanna Stewart and A'ja Wilson are just a few who come to mind. And there will be many more. Clark was in the right place at the right time, and I'm very glad she was.

She has never won NCAA championship. It is all about one person on the team and not about the team.
Lisa Bluder is such an amazing, underrated coach. She gave so many impactful speeches throughout this season. She is clearly an amazing person. We don’t just love Caitlin. We love the whole team. Thank you for this content. Go Hawks!!!
For an individual recruit of her caliber to choose to stay home instead of going to an already loaded roster, it speaks so much more to the person Caitlin is.
@@torrinbianchi5283 Does UConn remember every player that won a championship off the top of their head? The state of Iowa will remember Caitlin Clark. Legends never die.
@@TenaciousStudent With where women's ball was, shit, not even 5 years ago, yea it kinda is. A lot of people's minds have been changed when it comes to women's ball. Including mine. I remember watching UConn back in the day and those girls would just bully other teams, 104-27 type scores. There was no depth of talent, it was all stacked onto a few teams. If I wanted to watch teenage girls bully each other I'd get a job as a HS janitor. Game is a lot more stacked and competitive now. Good to see. They're playing high level ball these days and its fun to watch.
I can truly say today that I'm a fan of the Iowa women's basketball team. I knew nothing of CC or this team before April 17. When I first watched the title game on April 17, I became aware of Caitlin Clark's game. It wasn't too many days after when I became a fan of Clark's. However, it was a few months later that I became a fan of the Iowa women's basketball team. In the beginning of this year, I was in a state of depression. Going back watching the incredible season the Lady Hawkeyes had lifted me out of a dark mental place. I really don't know where I'd be today when it comes to my mental health had I not been watching Internet videos of the Hawkeyes historic run to the Final Four and subsequent title game. So, I don't care if anyone who follows this channel believes me. Just because I'm b-l-a-c-k and I'm proud doesn't negate the fact that the Hawkeyes has inspired me to be strong and resilient in the face of adversity!💯😍🏆🏆🏆I see champions! Not everybody gets to do what this team has accomplished since the beginning of their historic season in 2022-2023. Go Hawkeyes!
That’s amazing to hear Caitlin and the Hawkeyes brought you so much joy. 💜 I was born and raised in Iowa City and attended the U of I, so I’m a natural fan. I now live near DC and just got to see Caitlin and the rest of the ladies play in person against Maryland for the first time last night. It felt special enough that I’m now here binging Iowa and Caitlin videos. 😂😂 Also I have a picture of a pregnant Maryland fan who got a small, pink basketball signed by Clark for her future daughter. She really is a special player and person. 💜
I’m a fan now also! After my fiancé said hun watch this awesome basketball player! We were not raised to look at race just be aware of it! So the girl is bad! I’m happy all this helps you out the dark side & into the light of life! Life is wonderful it’s kind & peaceful. But the fire this young woman has everyone should stand up & shout for her drive skills & her team! Let’s go Caitlin!
@@stuartu7150 Thank you so much for writing me about your experience at the game. I will be at CHA on Feb. 15th for the game against Michigan. It will be my first. Caitlin is an amazing 🏀 player and person.
@@shondellmhouston5684 At first, I was only a fan of Caitlin Clark but over a period of time, I became a fan of Iowa women's basketball. Their style of play is amazing. I'm glad the coaching staff gave Caitlin the greenlight to run the point and do what she does best.
I have always been proud to be an Iowegian.....but man....this team...not just Caitlin.....this WHOLE team is just phenomenal....their love for each other and their coaches.....their teamwork....their passion for basketball.....I just love them all!!!!
Hello Hawkeye fans, lm a Lsu fan. I can Honestly say, Your story has made Me a fan of Hawkeyes women basketball. I paid for LSU Gold, to see there year in review. The production of this video is awesome. Good luck and see you at the final four.
This was beautifully put together. I am an old basketball player who stopped watching women’s basketball years ago. A buckeyes fan told me about Caitlin Clark and I had to see it to believe it. Not only was I brought back to watching, but I enjoyed the entire Iowa woman’s basketball team. I am now the proud owner of a #22 Jersey! Such class and grace in competitive sports. Not seen much these days…. Way to go coach Bluder and the college.
Caitlin was asked about that shot in the Indiana game she said we practice that play all the time .Her team mate adds and she runs off the court at practice too 😂😂😂
This is an absolutely amazing documentary. Proud native Iowa Citian and U of I grad who now lives on the East Coast. Finally got to see Caitlin, Gabbie, Kate, Syd, Molly, Hannah, Addie, Kylie and the gang play in person at Maryland last night, I am binging content today and this was just what I needed. Loved hearing so much from the players as well as Bluder and Jensen in this video. Such amazing people in addition to being incredible athletes and coaches. You all make us Iowans and Hawkeyes proud, ladies! Thank you! 💜
Im a South Carolina Gamecock fan, but I have to say Iowa Woman's Basketball is so fun to watch. I became an Iowa fan very quickly last year. I literally didnt care who won the final four game between these two teams. It was a fun game to watch and I cheered for Iowa when they won. I hope they play again this year but in the championship game.
I should have gone to bed, but watched this instead. You gave a fan base that has been starving something to cheer for. The only team in my memory to bring attention from opposing teams was Jordan and the Bulls. People do recognize greatness, and they want to experience it themselves. Quite the elite company you keep. As a fellow Hawkeye, thank you.
I never watch any womens basketball game till I accidentally clicked on the Iowa vs Louisville game last October 2023. I'm not even from the USA. I'm from the Philippines, and I am now obssessed with Iowa Hawkeyes! I never actually understand the technicalities of basketball whenever I watch the NBA 😅 But after watching Iowa games I finally had the curiousity to know the abbreviations during game analysis. Im a fan of volleyball but now Im surprised to say that I may have been liking womens baskeball now than volleyball 😆 Im just sad I wont have the chance to watch Iowa games live. But I will follow their careers in the wnba. 😊 Im now watching other WBB games especially the NCAA. I wish games will be streamed in youtube I cant watch in their websites because of location/country difference. As of now Im only relying on people who will upload the games here. So much love for CC my fave player and the Hawkeyes. You will forever be my all time fave in the NCAA you introduced me to womens basketball and that is huge. ❤🎉 ps. I cried a couple of times watching this video. 😭🦅
Iowa may not have one a National Championship, but the entire team and coaches taught are #1 in the heart of all sports fans. This entire organization taught everyone how to be competitive, gracious, and fun to watch. Congrats Hawkeyes
Really need to stop cutting onions when I watch these things. The way you've transcended not only basketball, but college sports and womens college sports is phenomenal!! This year it's time to FINISH the story!! :)
Never been a women's basketball fan, but I'm a sucker for highlight videos. Watching Caitlin nail 3-pointers is awesome, but that's just the gateway to appreciating the bigger picture: great team ball. And that's what has really made me a fan of this team: they have gifted players at every position, and they use them all strategically. I especially like to see great passing, and one key to that is putting the ball where only the intended receiver can get it-- Caitlin has that skill, but it relies on teammates with fantastic receiving/finishing ability. Both ends of those passes are top-notch, making for viewing gold. Keep it up, Iowa!
Thank you for this amazing gift to all of us fans who love and support you! The most incredible players, coaches and representatives we could have ever asked for!! Go Hawks Forever! 🖤💛🖤
Southeast Pennsylvania basketball fan period…..just loved this team’s ride all of last year (and looking forward to this year)! This journey has substantially contributed in putting woman’s basketball in what I believe is the budding golden era, especially with all the talent now in the ncaa. (Men’s basketball was in that era in the late 80s through the 90s) But right now is the start of the golden era of women’s basketball!
I've been a fan of Iowa women's basketball since the C. Vivian Stringer days, this season was one of, if not the, greatest. This documentary is a great record of a great season, thanks to everyone who put it together. GO HAWKS!
so fortunate to live in this place in time to experience this amazing team....Caitlin would be great any where she played but playing for a top notch coaching staff will serve her very well in her future endeavors...no doubt
I started watching Iowa Hawkeyes women’s basketball this year in the run up to the final four and now I am hooked. I have watched replays of the games against Indiana at least ten times. This documentary is fantastic and fitting to the great accomplishment of the team.
I'm from Asian country Philippines but i really admire the support of the City of Iowa to the Team. Just like my country who truly love and supports basketball whether its Men or a Women BB game. The whole IWBB are so amazing, Just what like the Head coach said, they got the best benches, and especially the starters. They are all great including the coaching staff, you see the way they motivated each and everyone of them are so amazing that's why i agree to the Head Coach about her statement on the last part of this video. Good luck Iowa Women 's Basketball Team in the future games. Also, best of luck for NCAA Women's Scoring Leader Caitlin Clark on your next Journey in WNBA. Will definitely watch your games there.
This team is incredible! There's so much love and greatness here that goes beyond. The coaches the players you are all so special. Thank you for being you and bringing so much pride,respect, and love for one another through the game. So deeply felt.
Wow what a touching and well put together documentary of an incredible season. I’m a former alumni cheering from California. My dad in Iowa who has never watched Iowa WBB started to watch last season & never misses a game now. He recently even paid for Peacock to watch the games when it isn’t on national TV. I am determined to go see the hawks this year Live. I hope we can do it all over again this year in the tourney and who knows….win it all! 🖤💛
This was beautifully done. Thank you to everyone made this video and most of all, this journey possible. I will not stop following you girls, keep going on and inspiring each of us. Go Hawks!
A belief in your Team is one thing a belief in Destiny, is in the Spirt of Caitlin Clark! Absolutely phenomenal for Iowa's Coach, & Staff to galvanize this, "gritty" group, into a National Championship! Without the, (obviously ridiculous fouls), on Iowa's Superstar, taking the game out of her hands; I see this Team winning it all.
SC had 4 players on the bench that were just as good as the starters that they could rotate. Iowa players had to play the entire game and still almost won! I am proud of the "Iowa Furious Five".
A great video of a great team in an unbelievable season. They play with pace, they move the ball, they play with a smile, play with heart and are a joy to watch and with the greatest player to ever play the game who is like a meteor cratering the whole of the NCAA in Caitlin Clark who can sleep walk to a 30pt triple double at will have their very own kryptonite. An emotional season and to be honest an emotional watch on what was a sensational season. I'm a fan and I live in the UK and I will be watching every game I can this season hoping you get what you all desire a National Championship. You have a nation following and wanting success and fans like myself aswel because of the way you play and having the legend that is Caitlin Clark. Cannot wait.
How are you able to watch from the U.K. ? I am in Switzerland and asked ESPN/NCAA but apparently there is no outside U.S. distribution. Even to open an account with a streaming site I can't use my regular credit crad and get denied.
@@12345fowler I watched it on TH-cam.. Just put in iowa hawkeyes WBB. The title is Growing the game. You can watch it on your TV if you have TH-cam or your laptop.
beautiful........ what great coaches! This team is not just one great player. Iowa is so much more which becomes very apparent in this film. Wishing you the best of luck for this year's championship game from Switzerland. May the best team on that day win.
McKenna Warnock is just the coolest Hawkeye ever, in my opinion. Whether she’s shooting, stretching or coming down the tunnel, she just looks totally bad-ass and she plays the same. 🖤💛
At the 1:00:00 mark...the one thing about our run that Lisa Bluder was wrong about...there were a lot of us who believed we were going to win that game, and we went into that game with a silent confidence that we were going to get it done. Before the game, I almost felt sorry for South Carolina...that they had to play us.
Did I expect Iowa to beat South Carolina in the 2023 Final Four? No. But I thought it was possible for them to win if Iowa shot well and did not get killed on rebounding. So what happened? Iowa did not shoot well and got killed on rebounding, yet somehow won anyway. And not only won, but led for 36 minutes of playing time and never trailed by more than one point.
So glad I started watching this team that year and this past year! We played hard against LSU and VS SC this past year! Who goes back to back Championship games?!? I am a Hawk fan for life! Can’t wait to see what our girls with do this upcoming year with a Lucy and some of those ladies that were apart of this amazing team! Go Hawks!!!
Finally a comprehensive look at this incredible '22-'23 NCAA season as lived by the Hawkeyes. I can't stop to think that the final statement by coach Bluder about a lesson to Amercia beeing second and not making excuse and just owning it was a hint at some of recent political happenings in your country. Which is to say all these pople are really class acts, which I believe most citizens in any country are anyway.
Team iowa hawkeyes changed the image of womens basketball as a whole…It reversed the impression that womens basketball is not worth it to watch..before i am of those who is biased to mens basketball until that day when i unintentionally watched d hawkeyes played..i admire caitlin clark,coach liza and d rest of d team..thank you very much..by the way i am a male person fm d philippines..
Warnock and martin and the list goes on of course shout out to the coaches. I never watch basketball before but I love this game with these Hawkeye women.
Caitlin has to personally get after players to come play with her at Iowa through high school recruiting and the transfer portal. No high school senior or transfer is going to say no if she is in their living room personally wanting them to play for Iowa.
I agree, but you do want people there for the right reasons too. LSU this year could be the best team because of their loaded roster, or the individuals could ruin it because they ran into a team.
@@TenaciousStudentThey're -- LSU -- gonna out talent a lot of teams, but the big ones where cohesion matters... could be a potential problem. Excited for Iowa, though; they've slowely built a national power over the last decade. Here's to hoping they can keep it post Caitlin. Having back to back to back to back Big Ten players of the year (3 different players) is one hell of an accomplishment for the staff. Plus, everything they've done for eyeballs. They can start commissioning some statues, I think.
True. But it's also factual mathematics of probability and averages. If you have 5-8 players on a roster who can average 14-25 points a game which LSU does, Iowa will need to get LSU's average down well getting their own up across their top 8 to win the natty. @@TenaciousStudent
I like to see Caitlyn be herself and happy , now on the wnba I don’t see her smile just focus and so much pressure . Her coach here knows how to motivate and lead the team !
The greatest thing in life is to be loved and appreciated. I love and appreciate the Iowa WBB team! Thank you for a great ride! Looking forward to another run! Go Hawks!🤙🏽❤️🏀
With how much we have all fallen in love with Caitlin with also have fallen in love with with team as well…Kate, Gabby, Molly, Hannah but also Coach Bluder & Jensen and now watching Caitlin in the WNBA along with Kate isn’t quite the same and kind of want them somehow back together. You can see that the Coach for Caitlin in Indiana doesn’t quite know what to do with Caitlin’s talent and that her new teammates aren’t quite able to play the way the she plays…that same fast paced game or even used to catching her passes that come at such fast unexpected moments…to the point that I think they need to think about getting Coach Bluder as a standby backup coach for advice to help get them up to that same level. I think it might even benefit them if they could get Kate if the Aces don’t sign her because if they could be on the same team together it would help get the rest of the team learning that same level of play and get them to level up to that same level. What’s weird to me is that everyone was saying that she was going to be playing with players of higher skill level but from what I have seen so far her old players play better then most of her new teammates but that could just be that Caitlin is that type of player that makes players that are average into even better players so maybe over time her new teammates will be the same and when that happens they will truly be a dominant team but they right now need major conditioning to be able to keep up with the fast paced game that Caitlin plays and a lot more playing time to get that chemistry which is only going to take time…definitely more then a couple of weeks.
I commend Iowa Hawkeyes, coach Bluder and Jansen entire coach and players. Beautiful story of great amazing people in life who surrounded with great people and love. My daughter who plays basketball at age 14 loves Caitlin Clark and wants to play for the Hawkeyes. As a father I'm so proud and we will always be a fever Hawkeyes fan! Thank you for your kindness, caring, and humbleness and showing love to all in this world, especially kids. The WNBA will be bigger then the NBA. We the people know that, love is greater. Equality matters, sad that we don't see that from a males point. It will change forever and the world understands and knows and soon, and now woman's basketball is more popular then men's. I don't watch men's basketball, woman's basketball is great. Men's suck, bias and unfair to woman. Salary? Woman's are deserving and NBA will follow the WNBA. Be humble and kind, but be fair to all equally no matter what if your male or female. The greatest showman is the woman representing basketball, not men's.

This journey has substantially contributed in putting woman’s basketball in what I believe is the budding golden era, especially with all the talent now in the ncaa.

MAN THIS IS SOOOO GOOD!!!! They deserved that last game!!! Thank you for putting this excellent video together.
Such a fan of Lisa Bluder and Iowa Women’s Basketball!
I've been a fan of Iowa women's basketball since the C. Vivian Stringer days, this season was one of, if not the, greatest. This documentary is a great record of a great season, thanks to everyone who put it together. GO HAWKS!
Wow what a great video. I discovered IWBB last year and proud to be a fan from Missouri. Can’t wait for 2023-2024 season
so fortunate to live in this place in time to experience this amazing team....Caitlin would be great any where she played but playing for a top notch coaching staff will serve her very well in her future endeavors...no doubt
Awesome inspiring video! THIS Iowa team gathered the respect of all the big elite universities and American viewers.
I loved this season and I watched Michael Jordan as a kid but I love watching this team this year. I CAN NOT WAIT UNTIL THE NEXT.
I started watching Iowa Hawkeyes women’s basketball this year in the run up to the final four and now I am hooked. I have watched replays of the games against Indiana at least ten times. This documentary is fantastic and fitting to the great accomplishment of the team.
I'm from Asian country Philippines but i really admire the support of the City of Iowa to the Team. Just like my country who truly love and supports basketball whether its Men or a Women BB game. The whole IWBB are so amazing, Just what like the Head coach said, they got the best benches, and especially the starters. They are all great including the coaching staff, you see the way they motivated each and everyone of them are so amazing that's why i agree to the Head Coach about her statement on the last part of this video. Good luck Iowa Women 's Basketball Team in the future games. Also, best of luck for NCAA Women's Scoring Leader Caitlin Clark on your next Journey in WNBA. Will definitely watch your games there.
This team is incredible! There's so much love and greatness here that goes beyond. The coaches the players you are all so special. Thank you for being you and bringing so much pride,respect, and love for one another through the game. So deeply felt.
Wow what a touching and well put together documentary of an incredible season. I’m a former alumni cheering from California. My dad in Iowa who has never watched Iowa WBB started to watch last season & never misses a game now. He recently even paid for Peacock to watch the games when it isn’t on national TV. I am determined to go see the hawks this year Live. I hope we can do it all over again this year in the tourney and who knows….win it all! 🖤💛
This was beautifully done. Thank you to everyone made this video and most of all, this journey possible. I will not stop following you girls, keep going on and inspiring each of us. Go Hawks!
WOW! I love you, girls, and the way you play the game! ❤
I’m so glad we have this great film about you! 🎉
YOU CHANGED AMERICA!!
Thank you so much💖
IOWA A LIGHT IN THE WORLD 💔💔💔⭐🌟⭐
VALUES MATTER !!!!!!!!!!!
😅😅@@martinhouser3419
10 years from now they’ll make a movie about that team
Definitely a team of overachievers.
A belief in your Team is one thing a belief in Destiny, is in the Spirt of Caitlin Clark! Absolutely phenomenal for Iowa's Coach, & Staff to galvanize this, "gritty" group, into a National Championship! Without the, (obviously ridiculous fouls), on Iowa's Superstar, taking the game out of her hands; I see this Team winning it all.
SC had 4 players on the bench that were just as good as the starters that they could rotate. Iowa players had to play the entire game and still almost won! I am proud of the "Iowa Furious Five".
A great video of a great team in an unbelievable season. They play with pace, they move the ball, they play with a smile, play with heart and are a joy to watch and with the greatest player to ever play the game who is like a meteor cratering the whole of the NCAA in Caitlin Clark who can sleep walk to a 30pt triple double at will have their very own kryptonite. An emotional season and to be honest an emotional watch on what was a sensational season. I'm a fan and I live in the UK and I will be watching every game I can this season hoping you get what you all desire a National Championship. You have a nation following and wanting success and fans like myself aswel because of the way you play and having the legend that is Caitlin Clark. Cannot wait.
How are you able to watch from the U.K. ? I am in Switzerland and asked ESPN/NCAA but apparently there is no outside U.S. distribution. Even to open an account with a streaming site I can't use my regular credit crad and get denied.
@@12345fowler I watched it on TH-cam.. Just put in iowa hawkeyes WBB. The title is Growing the game. You can watch it on your TV if you have TH-cam or your laptop.
@12🎩🗿345fowler
History. That was fantastic. Thank you!
Excellent video. Thank you for the year in review... what a year! Lets go Hawks!
God that 22-23 ride was fun..this is my favorite Hawkeye team.
This was so phenomenal!!! Thank you. Please do one for 23-24 season.
I'm picking Iowa to go back to the final four, seeya in my hometown Cleveland, Ohio.
Kate Martin will be head coach at Iowa one day!

Good basketball played by men or women is a thing of beauty. The University of Iowa Women’s basketball team, are beautiful!
beautiful........ what great coaches! This team is not just one great player. Iowa is so much more which becomes very apparent in this film. Wishing you the best of luck for this year's championship game from Switzerland. May the best team on that day win.
Team Iowa, players and staff, what you did was so much greater than that game.
I loved this so much! Inspirational, so much learning and sharing. Lets Outteam them👏
Just 🤩 amazing! Nothing like being aHawkeye!
This was amazing! Thanks for making it!
Knocking off South Carolina was the biggest upset of the year.
Lady Hawks, you elevated the game! Caitlin, you are changing the game forever! 🖤💛💯👍🏻🔥🌽🌾🚜⛹🏻♀️🏀💛🖤 #BringItHome #FinalFour 2024!
Proud Iowan here! So glad to be represented by an awesome team! Go hawks!!!
McKenna Warnock is just the coolest Hawkeye ever, in my opinion. Whether she’s shooting, stretching or coming down the tunnel, she just looks totally bad-ass and she plays the same. 🖤💛
This video is an emotion 😭
At the 1:00:00 mark...the one thing about our run that Lisa Bluder was wrong about...there were a lot of us who believed we were going to win that game, and we went into that game with a silent confidence that we were going to get it done. Before the game, I almost felt sorry for South Carolina...that they had to play us.
Did I expect Iowa to beat South Carolina in the 2023 Final Four? No. But I thought it was possible for them to win if Iowa shot well and did not get killed on rebounding. So what happened? Iowa did not shoot well and got killed on rebounding, yet somehow won anyway. And not only won, but led for 36 minutes of playing time and never trailed by more than one point.
They dominated SC with the pic and roll.
Looking forward to this season.
A great videography team, too.
That was awesome thank u to whomever put this video together good job!! 😊
So glad I started watching this team that year and this past year! We played hard against LSU and VS SC this past year! Who goes back to back Championship games?!?
I am a Hawk fan for life! Can’t wait to see what our girls with do this upcoming year with a Lucy and some of those ladies that were apart of this amazing team! Go Hawks!!!
Finally a comprehensive look at this incredible '22-'23 NCAA season as lived by the Hawkeyes. I can't stop to think that the final statement by coach Bluder about a lesson to Amercia beeing second and not making excuse and just owning it was a hint at some of recent political happenings in your country. Which is to say all these pople are really class acts, which I believe most citizens in any country are anyway.
What a great season! I love the life's lessons and team strength that you foster 💪 ❤️
Team iowa hawkeyes changed the image of womens basketball as a whole…It reversed the impression that womens basketball is not worth it to watch..before i am of those who is biased to mens basketball until that day when i unintentionally watched d hawkeyes played..i admire caitlin clark,coach liza and d rest of d team..thank you very much..by the way i am a male person fm d philippines..
LAST DANCE featuring CAITLIN CLARK..... Please 🙏 🙏 🙏
I love Caitlin Clark I hope I can be like her someday keep going Hawkeyes and put in the hard work to win
This is fantastic! Go Hawks!!
A role model without tattoos, thank God!
Go ahead girls!!
this was amazing thank you
Warnock and martin and the list goes on of course shout out to the coaches. I never watch basketball before but I love this game with these Hawkeye women.
Caitlin has to personally get after players to come play with her at Iowa through high school recruiting and the transfer portal. No high school senior or transfer is going to say no if she is in their living room personally wanting them to play for Iowa.
I agree, but you do want people there for the right reasons too. LSU this year could be the best team because of their loaded roster, or the individuals could ruin it because they ran into a team.
@@TenaciousStudentThey're -- LSU -- gonna out talent a lot of teams, but the big ones where cohesion matters... could be a potential problem. Excited for Iowa, though; they've slowely built a national power over the last decade. Here's to hoping they can keep it post Caitlin. Having back to back to back to back Big Ten players of the year (3 different players) is one hell of an accomplishment for the staff. Plus, everything they've done for eyeballs. They can start commissioning some statues, I think.
True. But it's also factual mathematics of probability and averages. If you have 5-8 players on a roster who can average 14-25 points a game which LSU does, Iowa will need to get LSU's average down well getting their own up across their top 8 to win the natty. @@TenaciousStudent
Iowa played terrible in the championship game and LSU shot lights out. See what happens this year.
Thank you for this summary
It was heartbreaking watching the referees ruin that last game. Regardless, it was a magical season ❤
There is nothing…..and I mean nothing….more exciting than watching a team that has everyone on the same page…..no egos
This thing belongs in a theatre
I like to see Caitlyn be herself and happy , now on the wnba I don’t see her smile just focus and so much pressure . Her coach here knows how to motivate and lead the team !
The greatest thing in life is to be loved and appreciated. I love and appreciate the Iowa WBB team! Thank you for a great ride! Looking forward to another run! Go Hawks!🤙🏽❤️🏀
I love this vid,.Great stuff. As an audio professional I have to say the mix needs some attention.
That was incredible
I appreciate Caitlin, love ❤ the Team ❤❤❤❤❤
With how much we have all fallen in love with Caitlin with also have fallen in love with with team as well…Kate, Gabby, Molly, Hannah but also Coach Bluder & Jensen and now watching Caitlin in the WNBA along with Kate isn’t quite the same and kind of want them somehow back together. You can see that the Coach for Caitlin in Indiana doesn’t quite know what to do with Caitlin’s talent and that her new teammates aren’t quite able to play the way the she plays…that same fast paced game or even used to catching her passes that come at such fast unexpected moments…to the point that I think they need to think about getting Coach Bluder as a standby backup coach for advice to help get them up to that same level. I think it might even benefit them if they could get Kate if the Aces don’t sign her because if they could be on the same team together it would help get the rest of the team learning that same level of play and get them to level up to that same level. What’s weird to me is that everyone was saying that she was going to be playing with players of higher skill level but from what I have seen so far her old players play better then most of her new teammates but that could just be that Caitlin is that type of player that makes players that are average into even better players so maybe over time her new teammates will be the same and when that happens they will truly be a dominant team but they right now need major conditioning to be able to keep up with the fast paced game that Caitlin plays and a lot more playing time to get that chemistry which is only going to take time…definitely more then a couple of weeks.
these are the good games …. very entertaining …
I hope Hailey transfers to Iowa- we would love her.
I love girls/ladies hoop 😊. Congratulations to the great Dawn Staley South Carolina Team.
I love ❤️ THIS TEAM
I have a feeling there’s gonna be a movie made about Caitlin Clark
30:54 one of my favorite moments of Caitlin
Soooo awesome...thats all I can say!
30:54 one of my favorite moments of Caitlin Clark

TRUE CLASS
I commend Iowa Hawkeyes, coach Bluder and Jansen entire coach and players. Beautiful story of great amazing people in life who surrounded with great people and love. My daughter who plays basketball at age 14 loves Caitlin Clark and wants to play for the Hawkeyes. As a father I'm so proud and we will always be a fever Hawkeyes fan! Thank you for your kindness, caring, and humbleness and showing love to all in this world, especially kids. The WNBA will be bigger then the NBA. We the people know that, love is greater. Equality matters, sad that we don't see that from a males point. It will change forever and the world understands and knows and soon, and now woman's basketball is more popular then men's. I don't watch men's basketball, woman's basketball is great. Men's suck, bias and unfair to woman. Salary? Woman's are deserving and NBA will follow the WNBA. Be humble and kind, but be fair to all equally no matter what if your male or female. The greatest showman is the woman representing basketball, not men's.
