Thanks Clark, keep these little girls away from the Kardashians 😂

[@kellyr1741]

I love every part of this story

[@frankciamillo1631]

It is fantastic to see young girls being so excited & having so much interest & good fun. Clark has done something for women’s basketball & womens sports it general.

[@timmellin2815]

This is so much better than the old, worn out plugging along NBA (No Brains Allowed) style of play. I got interested in Girls' basketball about 10 yrs. ago, by accident, when I saw the Mark Keppel HS team in Calif, a team of short Asian girls mostly, beat larger teams mostly due to aggressive swarming defense. Very exciting style of play. You go, girls ! Playoffs for HS start tomorrow night, and my only regret is I can't see both my favorite teams (Keppel and South Pasadena) play because both games are scheduled at the same time, on the same night. I too am getting involved....I like to write gym wall slogans based on the girls' names, and I have a mix of 1960s songs that would go well as pre-game shoot around music for girls' games. Join the fun.....skip the boys' / mens' game, and watch the more artistic yet a little easier to follow womens' / girls' game.

Caitlin clark is the one

Lol, yeah she is definitely something special.

i grew up in iowa. loved iowa hs 6 on 6 girls bb more than mens as kid. makes me cry to see all these little girls nationwide want to be like CC like us boys wanted to be like Mike

[@TheJhtlag]

I can see selling out one's own arena, but that's impressive.

[@SgtJoeSmith]

the only game iowa wbb didnt sell out this year was florida gulf coast tourney. they did have record crowd though. that includes all away games and all away games were sold out prior to the purdue game.

[@michaelhunt7494]

She sells out every arena, so far.

Leads the nation in women's college basketball in points, assists, and 3 pointers.

And is Big 10 all time leader in turnovers. Will probably finish top 5 all time NCAA as well in TOs.

Yep. It was higher than that when CC played at Rutgers this season

This will elevate women's sports in general to the next level with all of the young girls who have dreams.

[@Evebr]

I'd draft Caitlin Clark if I owned an NBA team.

[@taipan1234]

Then you would not even make the playoffs..

[@renovo56]

Catilin should play in the WMBA for free, just take 5% of the tickets sales.

[@jackswanson8326]

*arena. Stadiums are outside.

[@survivrs]

I hope nobody was disappointed!!

[@jeffg1524]

There have been many great women players over the years, but Caitlin has taken it to a new level. I thought Paige Bueckers would have been the one to do it, but injuries have pretty much sidelined her college career. Here's hoping Caitlin has a long and storied career after college hoops.

[@millypoo7713]

0:29... "This is LIKE, the best thing ever." But she will miss it all looking at her phone all night instead. 😅😅😂

[@adamseay4827]

I respect it. watch the team get shlacked by CC well worth it! I would go too and actually watch a good basketball player!

[@lonhamptonsr.9291]

I just had a spiritual message that the Detroit Pistons Should draft her number one.. If This truly is the land of opportunity this would be an incredible opportunity for the Detroit Pistons.. Happy Black History..

[@richpaydirt]

It looks like she’s even making tons of money for the competition. $230 a ticket? Hiway robbery and no way to treat the fans.

[@marceybull]

Wait? How is she making money from tickets? It goes to the university and/or NCAA I would assume. And isn't it the ticket scalpers who jack up prices of tickets?

[@pstuddy]

@@marceybullread again, not money for herself

Not my money

[@ryansmith8102]

This 100% reminds me of the Lebron James days during his high school years. I know this is college, but during his high school days, his games were sold out. People came all over to see Lebron play. This feels reminiscent of these days. It's now Caitlin Clark time.

[@beckyumphrey2626]

1:18 wait, that's a dude???😂😂

[@BethanyWooton]

This one time at band camp.....

[@HonestLeighSpeaking]

Caitlyn second best shooter to only Steph Curry… Maybe third two Damian Lillard… But she is otherworldly… Nevertheless, women’s basketball is way bigger than her and unfortunately, for Iowa, no one will remember them when she leaves, nor will they get a championship while she is there because you can’t do it with just one person!

[@MrGary10k]

They have a really good team. You should watch a few of their games. She wouldn't have so many assists if the player around her weren't good at basketball.

[@tony4534]

Lets see if they support her like this in the wnba.

[@marceybull]

As a Hawkeye fan, Iowa grad, and white person, I am ashamed of comments like this being made by CC fans: Where are you NOT seeing white people?! We are everywhere, featured forefront (and behind the scenes) on EVERYTHING, even as awesomely as diversity is becoming more and more mainstream. And I'm here for that! What I love about women's basketball is all the different women of different races, cultures, backgrounds and personalities - but most of all it's that TALENT that's amazing, all of them. Yes, including CC as one of the best... ... And then people like you tie CC to racists comments like this! If you care about CC so much, you might want to not get her branded into racists tropes/sound bite like this.

[@may_it_please_the_court]

Just like Jordan.

Female Steph Curry

Exactly.

This women is fast like Wade, has the vision and passing ability like Luka , shooting from the NBA 3pt line dept like Curry she is actually lookslike a decent basketball player and not like a 10 years old running around with a ball like other female players , ohh and btw she breaking record meanwhile stays human and stays nice the her fans , thats the hype

[@Show_time3]

So you are saying Lebron doesn’t get hype….what a pathetic take. Why does everything have to be about race with some people? People watch Caitlin Clark because of her amazing skill……please show me the highlights of another female hitting contested step back 3s from the logo and also making behind the back passes…

[@marksauce2383]

No such thing as if...

[@jazzyj6640]

Definitely not. You see how they treated LSU players from last season and what they have to say about Dawn Staley and her team. It isn't so much Clarke, more so the media. Although there have been times when she's given off "white women tears," like the Ohio State fan incident.
