AFTER MUCH DISAPPOINTMENT: BECAUSE OF UNFINISHED DEALS, IOWA WOMENS BASKETBALL HEAD COACH DECIDED TO FIRE.
DALLAS, TEXAS, APRIL 02: Iowa Hawkeyes head coach Lisa Bluder addresses the media following her team’s 102-85 loss to the LSU Lady Tigers in the 2023 NCAA Women’s Basketball Tournament championship game at the American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas.
Caitlin Clark, a great player for Iowa women’s basketball, achieved NCAA history on Sunday by surpassing all previous record holders in scoring in collegiate basketball.
Clark overtook former LSU Tigers great Pete Maravich atop the NCAA’s all-time scoring record with two free throws made toward the end of the first half.
But according to Lisa Bluder, head coach of the Iowa Hawkeyes, this has nothing to do with a men’s record. Rather, she desires Clark’s achievements to be independent.
“To me, you don’t have to break a man’s record to be recognized; you don’t have to do that, “Blumer stated. It was noteworthy that Lynette Woodard’s record was broken. Thus, in my opinion,. Although I respect “Pistol Pete,” I don’t want her performance to serve as the standard for women’s sports.”
It’s true what you say, but Maravich topped the list of all-time scorers. Even if a woman had been at the top of the list, it would still have been significant if Clark had broken it.
Whether she is a woman or a man, Clark has grown to be one of the most well-liked and covered players in recent NCAA history.
Now, after a thrilling victory at home against Ohio State to close off the 2023–24 regular season, the Hawkeyes will head into the Big Ten Tournament.
Many people were upset with Iowa’s defeat against Nebraska, including Lisa Bluder, the head coach.
The Cornhuskers ended up heading to media availability first after the game. Since the away team must travel after the game, they typically provide this availability.
One Nebraska reporter claimed that the Hawkeyes arrived for postgame availability just after Nebraska’s court celebration was concluded. The sports information department (SID) of Nebraska informed the group that the information “may be disjointed,” but they also promised to give the Hawkeyes the room when they arrived.
Given that we’re doing this, Iowa arrived at the postgame after Nebraska had finished their court celebration. The room was informed by Nebraska’s SID that “this could be disjointed” and that Iowa would be given the room upon their arrival.
