‘Priceless!’ Internet hails Caitlin Clark after she passes ball to her brother following win against LSU
ALBANY, NEW YORK: Caitlin Clark has not only been hailed online by her fans for her win over the LSU Tigers, but she also received praise for passing the ball to her brother in the crowd.
On Monday, April 1, the Iowa Hawkeyes star was the force behind her team's win over the LSU Tigers by scoring 41 points, which placed the Iowa Hawkeyes in the Final Four of the NCAA Tournament, PEOPLE reported.
Caitlin Clark says 'we’ve earned this'
Clark told The New York Post, “Being so close last year, I think that’s what just drives you. It’s amazing to be back in the Final Four. It’s so hard to get there, especially with how loaded this region was.”
“We told ourselves we’re the 1-seed for a reason. We’ve earned this. We deserve to be in these moments. We’re prepared for these moments,” she mentioned.
The 22-year-old basketball player added, “The reason we’ve been able to play such good basketball is we don’t want this to end. … We want to win two more, and I think we have the power to do that.”
But besides her win, her sweet gesture toward her brother has also won people’s hearts.
Following the match, she reportedly threw her ball to her sibling, who was standing in the audience.
"I always chuck the ball up there after big games. I did it last year when we advanced to the Final Four and now did it this year. Gotta take the ball and get out of here before the NCAA gets it," she said as per Marca.
