It was another great season for the Iowa Hawkeyes that saw them come just one game short of accomplishing their ultimate goal.

This time, Caitlin Clark and company fell to the South Carolina Gamecocks in the national championship game, 87-75. It was a heartbreaking defeat, especially after the Hawkeyes got out to a commanding 10-0 lead. But just as South Carolina has shown all year long, they were too much for their competition.

Despite the slow start, the Gamecocks still managed to take a three-point lead into the half. And they outscored them by nine in the second half, en route to becoming the tenth team in NCAA women’s basketball history to go undefeated and win the national championship.

As for the Iowa Hawkeyes, they are forced to endure another heartbreaker. And while there’s no denying that they’ve had an incredible two year run and have gained a ton of fans along the way, there are still some who are calling Caitlin Clark and her teammates, “Chokers.”

Clark has helped lead this Hawkeyes team much further than they would have ever gotten had she not been on their squad. She and her Iowa teammates have nothing to be ashamed or embarrassed about, no matter what the haters may think.
