Caitlin Clark breaks another record, women’s Sweet 16 set

Shots and records fall when Clark’s on the floor

The ‘Eers caused a few “eeks” for Iowa on Monday night, but the Hawkeyes stopped West Virginia, 64-54 in superstar Caitlin Clark’s final game on her home court. While dropping 32 points on the Mountaineers, Clark set a new single-season NCAA scoring record with an astonishing 1,113 points. She’ll add to that this weekend as Iowa squares off against Colorado on Saturday.

Paige Bueckers matched Clark’s 32 points Monday, as UConn also got a scare with No. 6 Syracuse pulling within two late in Monday’s game. But after sealing the 72-64 win, Geno Auriemma and the Huskies advance to their 30th consecutive Sweet 16 game. They will take on No. 7 Duke.

No. 3 NC State pushed past No. 6 Tennessee, 79-72 on the strength of Aziah James’ 22 points and Saniya Rivers’ 20. The Wolfpack will play No. 2 Stanford on Friday. And the women’s bracket was consistent with top-seeded teams surviving and advancing. No. 2 UCLA beat Creighton, 67-63; No. 2 Notre Dame swept past No. 7 Ole Miss, 71-56; and No. 1 USC dropped No. 8 Kansas, 73-55.
