Iowa women’s basketball is set to host the No. 3 UCLA Bruins in a big conference matchup on Sunday. The Hawkeyes are just 18-8 and are ranked 11th in the Big Ten this season. That’s why Iowa alumna Caitlin Clark is rallying Iowa fans to get loud at Carver-Hawkeye Arena on social media.
In Iowa’s last game, they dropped an 86-78 heartbreaker in a near-upset in overtime against Ohio State on Monday. The Hawkeyes were riding high entering that game by winning six straight, including a key upset over USC, then-ranked No. 4.
Clark was in attendance at that game against the Trojans because her No. 22 jersey was sent up into the rafters to be retired.
Get Carver LOUD for the girls today!!!!! Let’s go @IowaWBB
