This game holds extra significance as Iowa bids farewell to its seniors, notably Caitlin Clark, who recently declared for the WNBA Draft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Announcing the guard will forgo a fifth season at Iowa, Clark stated she wanted full transparency headed into senior night with her teammates. She emphasized the importance of enjoying the moment, and celebrating the growth of the program. Following the game, Iowa will celebrate senior night, with Caitlin Clark having one goal in mind: defeating Ohio State.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\"My main goal is beating Ohio State,\" said Clark in post game press conference.  \"I think we are all just super excited for another opportunity at them. \"<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/owensiebring\/status\/1763690572047335491\">(Owen Siebring on X)<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Earlier this year, Ohio State secured a victory over Iowa in overtime<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">OT | <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/cotiemcmahon23?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@cotiemcmahon23<\/a> has a CAREER-HIGH 31 points \ud83d\udd25<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/GoBucks?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#GoBucks<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/49zSvfmAge\">pic.twitter.com\/49zSvfmAge<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Ohio State Women\u2019s Basketball (@OhioStateWBB) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/OhioStateWBB\/status\/1749146510913094034?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 21, 2024<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n\n\n\n<p>With tip off at 1 p.m. ET, the<a href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/womens-college-basketball\/team\/_\/id\/194\/ohio-state-buckeyes\"> Buckeyes <\/a>(25-3) will face the Hawkeyes (25-4) in a monumental BigTen matchup. All eyes are on Iowa, who are out for revenge, after losing to Ohio state 100-92 in overtime back on Jan. 21. With Iowa as the heavy favorites with 18,660 spectators at Value City Arena, Ohio State came back from a 12-point deficit.  They outscored the Hawkeyes 25-8 in the fourth quarter, and Jacy Sheldon sealed the deal with two made free-throws in the final 26 seconds of overtime. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was a matchup Caitlin Clark would rather forget. Despite her stellar performance, she found herself accidentally knocked to the ground as Buckeye fans stormed the court in celebration. Thankfully, Clark emerged from the incident without injuries, but it was a frightening moment for the nation's top player. Plus, they snapped Iowa's 15 game win streak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In that meeting,  Clark finished with a season high (at the time) 45 points, 2 steals, 1 block, 7 assists, and 3 rebounds. Finishing 12-25 from the field, the Iowa native finished 14-16 from free-throw line.   Hannah Stuelke and Molly Davis combined for 24 points, 10 assists, and 8 rebounds. Ohio State applied the pressure defensively, holding the Hawkeyes to 46.2 percent from the field, and 35.7 percent from deep. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Caitlin Clark accounts for 34.7 percent of the Hawkeyes offense<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"und\" dir=\"ltr\">\ud83d\ude4c\ud83d\ude4c\ud83d\ude4c<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/CaitlinClark22?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@caitlinclark22<\/a> x <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Hawkeyes?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Hawkeyes<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/jqB75v6U5O\">pic.twitter.com\/jqB75v6U5O<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Iowa Women&#39;s Basketball (@IowaWBB) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/IowaWBB\/status\/1749132868775821823?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 21, 2024<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n\n\n\n<p>7-1 in the BigTen, the Hawkeyes find themselves in a similar position as last season, where they finished 31-7. Under coach Lisa Bluder, Iowa is 12-1 at home, and won their last two games against Minnesota and Illinois. In five games against ranked teams, the Hawkeyes have impressive victories over Virginia Tech, Kansas State, and Indiana.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Indeed, Caitlin Clark has been the central focus with her extraordinary career accomplishments. Averaging 32.2 points per game, she constitutes 34.7 percent of the team's offense. However, her teammates have played a crucial role, offering support both on and off the court. Averaging the most points in NCAA women's basketball with 92.7 points per game, they will look to keep it rolling on Sunday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Clark's been incredible at home, averaging 32.9 points, 8.8 assists, and 6.9 rebounds, on 40.8 percent three-point shooting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the Buckeyes, they showcased why they are the real deal this season. With a 6-1 record in the conference, they earned a signature win at home. Jacy Sheldon, who closed tings out, finished with 24 points and seven rebounds. The no. 18 seed at the time, Cotie McMahon put up a career high 33 points and 12 rebounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Senior Day<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Caitlin Clark&#39;s full interview from today...<br>She explains why now was the right time to announce her decision to leave Iowa; and reflects on the last 4 years with the Hawkeyes. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/PTWNH7Esbr\">pic.twitter.com\/PTWNH7Esbr<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Owen Siebring (@owensiebring) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/owensiebring\/status\/1763690572047335491?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">March 1, 2024<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n\n\n\n<p> Sophomore Hannah Stuelke stands as the team's second-highest scorer, averaging 14.1 points and 6.8 rebounds per game.

Notably, these wins include triumphs over formidable opponents such as ranked teams Indiana, Iowa, Penn State, and Tennessee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Senior Jacy Sheldon stands out as the team's leading scorer, averaging an impressive 18 points per game. She is closely followed by Cotie McMahon, Taylor Thierry, and Celeste Taylor, all of whom contribute points in double figures, showcasing the depth and scoring versatility of the team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While they failed to make it to the final four last year, the Bucks scored big by locking up Taylor, the ACC Defensive Player of the Year transfer from Duke. With March Madness right around the corner, Ohio State recently had colossal victories over Michigan, Maryland, and Penn State.  Over the last five games, they've had a total point differential over Michigan State, Nebraska, Penn State, Maryland, and Michigan. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Key Players<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Iowa<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/womens-college-basketball\/player\/_\/id\/4433403\/caitlin-clark\">Caitlin Clark<\/a><\/strong> (Senior, guard): 32.2 PPG | 7.4 RPG | 8.7 APG | 1.7 SPG | 39.5 % 3PT<br \/><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/womens-college-basketball\/player\/_\/id\/4595290\/molly-davis\">Molly Davis<\/a><\/strong> (Senior, guard): 6.3 PPG | 2.3 RPG | 3.2 APG | 1 SPG | 40.7 % 3PT<br \/><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/womens-college-basketball\/player\/_\/id\/4682968\/hannah-stuelke\">Hannah Stuelke<\/a><\/strong> (Sophomore, guard):  14.1 PPG | 6.8 RPG | 1.4 APG | 1 SPG | 63.9 FG %<br \/><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/womens-college-basketball\/player\/_\/id\/4398907\/kate-martin\"><strong>Kate Martin<\/strong><\/a> (Senior, guard): 13 PPG | 6.3 RPG | 2.6 APG | 52.3 FG %<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">OSU<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/womens-college-basketball\/player\/_\/id\/4583144\/cotie-mcmahon\"><strong>Cotie McMahon<\/strong>(<\/a> Sophomore, forward):14.3 PPG | 6.5 RPG | 2.2 APG | 2.0 BPG | 47.2 FG %<br \/><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/womens-college-basketball\/player\/_\/id\/4432865\/jacy-sheldon\">Jacy Sheldon<\/a><\/strong> (Senior, guard) : 18 PPG | 3.4 RPG | 3.6 APG | 2.1 SPG | 38.4 % 3PT<br \/><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/womens-college-basketball\/player\/_\/id\/4432864\/celeste-taylor\">Celeste Taylor<\/a><\/strong> (Senior, guard): 10.3 PPG | 4.2 RPG | 3.4 APG | 2.3 SPG <br \/><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/womens-college-basketball\/player\/_\/id\/4898400\/taylor-thierry\">Taylor Thierry<\/a><\/strong> (Junior, guard) :11.4 PPG | 5.5  RPG | 1.5  APG | 1.8 SPG | 46.2 % 3PT<br \/><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/womens-college-basketball\/player\/_\/id\/4594942\/rebeka-mikulasikova\"><strong>Rebeka Mikulasikova<\/strong><\/a> (Senior, forward) :9.1 PPG | 2.9 RPG | 2.5  APG | 38.3 % 3PT<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Buckeyes are beatable <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Ohio State has continued to build an impressive record, positioning themselves for a potential No. 1 seed with a victory over Iowa. However, their scoring average of 80.6 points per game ranks 15th in the league. While defensively they've allowed an average of 62.9 points per game, their struggle with rebounds has persisted as a season-long weakness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For Iowa to craft a Cinderella story on senior day, they must prioritize ball control, as Ohio State thrives on fast-paced basketball and capitalizes on turnovers. Iowa has honed their defensive strategies, including the utilization of the box-and-one defense. If they can execute defensively, victory could be within their grasp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And again, it all may come down to Caitlin Clark. After all, she scored all the overtime buckets for Iowa in their last matchup vs. Ohio State. With the Buckeyes named the outright Big Ten Champions, there's not as much on the line. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Stay tuned for more\u00a0<\/strong>NCAA and WNBA related\u00a0<strong>articles.<\/strong><em>\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/ballislife.com\/iowa-star-caitlin-clark-set-to-join-wnba-as-projected-no-1-pick\/\">Click here<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Sara Jane Gamelli is a full-time Sportswriter, Content Creator and Social Media Manager for Ballislife Bets.<\/em>\u00a0<em>She has a focus on the NBA, WNBA, NCAA Basketball, and the NFL.
