Clark did everything she could to help Iowa win. She scored 30 points and broke Chamique Holdsclaw’s record for most points scored in the NCAA Women’s Basketball Tournament history.

Clark will be in charge of the next group of WNBA stars in about a week. When the draft starts, she’ll probably be the first player picked.

“The emotions will probably hit me over the next couple days,” she told me. “I don’t have much time to be sad and sulk.” That doesn’t seem to be what I’m about either. I’m sorry we lost, but I’m also really proud of myself, my friends, and this whole programme. “You have a lot to be proud of.”

Clark also sent Iowa one last goodbye message after the game.

She wrote on Instagram, “I’ll miss you.”
