On the day that the Iowa Hawkeyes retired Caitlin Clark’s basketball jersey, her former team delivered an upset win over No. 4 USC that harkened back to her time in Iowa City.

“You kind of just have those butterflies in your stomach when you walk in here. Not so much for a basketball game now, but obviously just to be around everybody and to enjoy this environment,” Clark, now a WNBA Indiana Fever star, said at a pre-game press conference on Sunday.
