Caitlin Clark and the Iowa Hawkeyes will go for their third straight Big Ten tournament title when they face Nebraska in the conference championship game Sunday.
Second-seeded Iowa advanced to the title game after beating Michigan in the semifinals Saturday, and will face a Cornhuskers team that has won three games in three days.
If the Hawkeyes win, it’ll mark their third conference tournament title in a row, and Clark has the chance to become the first player since Ohio State’s Jantel Lavender between 2009-11 to win the tournament’s Most Outstanding Player award three consecutive seasons. In Iowa’s quarterfinal win against Penn State, Clark scored 24 points with 10 rebounds and seven assists, and in the semifinal victory against Michigan, the NCAA’s all-time leading scorer dropped 28 points and tied a season high in assists with 15.
