Clark and her Iowa teammates sold out every home game and sold out or set attendance records at nearly every major venue they played at all season.
Despite Caitlin Clark’s enormous success and the record interest in women’s basketball for the first time EVER — the old stars of yesteryear showed nothing but jealousy and disgust for Caitlin this year.
But they can’t stop Caitlin’s appeal.
Last night Saturday Night Live invited Caitlin Clark on – And she was sensational!
