the all-time scoring leader list and passes kelsey plum as the all-time leader in women's scoring
in ncaa history we knew this was going to happen.
We talked about it before the season. That was the summer topic that came up. What is it going
to happen? And ultimately happened on a Thursday night at Carver Hawkeye Arena. Another sold-out
crowd. Another incredible environment. The get-in price was through the roof. All the things and all
the things that you look at and just how she has changed the
game, not just college basketball on the women's side, but basketball as a whole.
I see my four-year-old son wearing his Caitlin Clark shirt and celebrating after the moment
and a big smile on his face as he's watching it and watching her and seeing my daughter
as we went to the Final Four a year ago.
And that's just me personally.
And everybody has those stories.
And it doesn't matter if you're just a fan
or you're watching it through a young person's eyes,
just enjoying these moments.
We have had an incredible run of successful athletes
at the University of Iowa and the Hawkeye teams
that most everybody listening and watching certainly roots for.
And yet with all of that,
this has been something so completely
different. And listening to Caitlin after the game, we'll talk about really all the factors,
but going back to the way that her career started and where it began in an empty building.
I was going back and looking through some box scores early in her career and her first game at Carver Hawkeye Arena in front of 300 fans.
I mean, it was friends and family only, and not many friends.
It was family only that were allowed in those games back then
in the season after the COVID season shut down the NCAA tournament of 2020.
And to go back to that and now see her everywhere she goes,
playing in front of sold-out crowds,
and the flair for the dramatic starting off the game,
eight points away, when's it going to happen?
There were props that were out there at FanDuel.
You could bet on those.
Not available in the state of Iowa.
We can't do individual player props for in-state players.
You can do it for other ones, but not in-state ones.
But that aside, and they were out there.
What was going to happen?
It was a three-pointer.
And we should have known.
So she gets to the bucket right away.
Gets a deuce.
Hits a three-pointer off a screen.
It was funny.
There was one of the camera angles.
And you could see somebody at the end of the Michigan bench just, like, drop their hands in their head.
Just, what are we doing?
How do we leave that open?
And then hoisting up what was what?
32, 35, 36 feet pier that's what she does it's what makes her so incredible it's not that she makes a bunch of
buckets right it's how in those big moments in when the pressure's at its most intense,
she delivers and she comes up and the dramatic is absolutely incredible.
And it shouldn't happen any other way.
She said afterwards,
Caitlin did that,
you know,
you knew it was going to be a logo three,
although she wasn't officially on the logo.
She was a side.
So it was one of her deeper,
deeper three pointers that she made.
And there's something
really cool up on Twitter, and that's not always the case with Twitter, but Kirk Goldsberry, who's
done analytical work for a very long time in basketball space, he's got a shot chart that,
a very cool visual of where all of her points came from in the free throw line. And then you see the last one.
And it's like these little, almost lasers
kind of go into the rim of the last one
and just how deep it was.
One of the deepest of her career
came on that shot.
A moment that I'll remember
for as long as I'm around
and as long as I got my wits about me,
I will remember that moment
watching with my wife, seeing the kids, For as long as I'm around and as long as I got my wits about me, I will remember that moment.
Watching with my wife, seeing the kids and just being there.
We're lucky.
We're lucky that we get to be witness.
And there's so many angles to this.
It's not just about breaking the scoring record.
I mean, it's just it's a number.
This is not, you know, I don't think a number that we're going to talk about about but it's about these moments and having the ability to see these kind of things a three for three start just right away boom a week after he had a stulkey sets a carver hawkeye arena record for points
inside the building she goes out and breaks it and puts up 49 um doing that, after Stelke goes for 48 the game before
in Carver against Penn State.
Just an incredible night.
We're incredibly lucky to be able to just go through this
and see these different things, and it just kept going.
And we're going to talk about the game a little bit,
and we're going to take a look forward.
We're going to do those things and break it down.
But more than anything, I just want to open up
and talk about this moment. And great job out of Peacock. I mean, two terrific
broadcasters on the call. I thought that was really good and a continued good job. And we've
seen that throughout the course of the year. And you might go kicking and screaming to streaming,
but that's the new reality and what it is. But we're lucky that this was on Peacock. You know
why? Because we got to
see the ceremony afterwards. We got to see the press conference afterwards. We got to see all
the pomp and circumstance and it wasn't cutting away to get to the next game or cutting away
just to talk to the studio, to talk to the studio. No, they stayed there and they showed what was
happening on the Jumbotron. And if you didn't have hundreds of dollars or thousands of dollars to get
in the building, you were able to see it and live that moment.
And that's good for all of us.
Great work out of Peacock getting that done.
And one of the few times that I think early on here in the new world, as we are able to
watch sports on TV and having to do it a different way, that was a really good thing.
Speaking of the ceremony, Caitlin Clark, she's a tough cookie, right?
I mean, you don't see a ton of that kind of emotion from her.
She's emotional.
She's always been an emotional player.
Going back to her high school days, emotion's always something there.
She revs hot.
She gets after officials.
She'll get after teammates.
And Lisa Bluter, one of the first things that she worked hard to do is to try to peel back a couple of those layers and
to get that simmer down a little bit, right? To go from maybe boiling down to simmer. Maybe that's
a better way to put it. And she's been able to do that. Although she's still emotional as a
basketball player, it's not what
it once was. And that's important. And that's what you need. And not everybody can be Caitlin
Clark. Not everybody has the talent, the drive, the passion, all the things that are necessary
to be at this level. But seeing her see her family and seeing her parents on the Jumbotron
when everybody was congratulating her.
That was cool to see because it's a side of Kaitlyn Clark that we don't get to see very often.
We see her on the court. We see her in press conferences. We see her say the right thing
seemingly every single time. And it doesn't matter if it was the Hulbaloo after the national
championship game last year with Angel Reese. She said the right thing. And she didn't make it a bigger deal than a lot of people wanted to make
it after that game. She didn't do it. She thanks her teammates. She thanks her coaches. She thanks
the fans. She does everything that you want. There's a reason she's a star, because she gets it.
But also you get to see that other side of her with her brothers, with her parents,
with her family there, her teammates, what they meant, some smiles, some laughs. They're trying
to lift her up. They're having a fun time. And she's like, get me down, get me down from here.
It's just those little moments that you have throughout the course of that.
It was really, really cool. And to see the number of people that have been following this, and we know the numbers
and what she's done to this sport and the way that she has built it and continued
to build women's basketball at a level that I don't think many people thought it could ever be.
And yet here we are, nearly 10 million people a year ago watching the national championship game,
ratings through the roof, setting rating records
on national broadcast TV,
doing that time in and time out.
That's what you get.
And I'm going to guess Peacock is going to be talking
about the same thing when their numbers come out
from the stream.
It's going to be through the roof.
We got to talk more about this.
It's a moment.
Remember it.
Cherish it.
Let's have some more fun talking about it.
We'll do that as we continue here. Locked on Hawkeyes.

Trent Conant back with you again here on the Locked On Hawkeyes podcast.
Thanks for making Locked On Hawkeyes your first listen every day.
The outpouring of congratulations was ridiculous.
First mentioned Angel Reese a moment ago.
Well, mentioned LSU from the National Championship game.
She was there right away.
Great to see that from Angel Reese.
We know the respect that those two players have for each other and to see that come
out. But then you had the Big Ten Network put out about a five-minute video and you saw the
commissioner. All right, Tony Petitti's there. So be it. There's plenty of people in women's
basketball, but it was some of the other people. I mean, Eli and Peyton Manning setting congratulations.
Tom Brady setting congratulations in that video.
Dave Lillard, Ashton Kutcher, of course, a big Hawkeye,
and his wife, Mila Kunis.
So you have that.
Barack Obama, former president.
Talk about Caitlin Clark.
Girl that grew up just down the street from where I am right now,
West Des Moines, in my home.
Magic Johnson, just on and on and on.
You see these people and they show up on your timeline on Twitter.
It's just, it's astonishing.
Astonishing just as a Hawkeye fan that this is happening.
I can't imagine being them.
I can't imagine being Caitlin Clark and the Clark family, being a teammate, being a coach.
Lisa Bluter, Jan Jensen, Abby Stamp.
These are people like us from here, right?
And they're going through this and get with all of this and everything that's gone on
and all the extra.
And there's so much extra.
Not just the pressure that is there, but the media and the fans and the cameras and everything you do and
being scrutinized and all different levels and people with misinformation and all these different
things, and yet they handled it incredibly well. Kaitlyn lived up to the moment. She continues to
do that time in and time out. After the game, the ceremony was great.
The goofy parts of it, the fun parts of it, the smiles.
Getting to see Monica Sinano, getting to see Warnock out there.
You can see that definitely got to Caitlin when they were up on the screen.
Her brothers, her parents giving the message.
Just all those parts of it.
But also, they're playing a team.
And how about this for Michigan?
After the game, the Michigan coaching staff
delivered handwritten notes
from each one of the Michigan players.
Again, shows you the respect that she has.
And people, her opponents, her adversaries,
understanding the importance of what she means to this sport.
Nike, where she has a deal with Nike, and I'm waiting for that first Caitlyn shoe to come out.
I was surprised it didn't come out before this season, but we'll wait until probably this summer, right before the WNBA season starts.
And coming out with the tweet, you break it, you own it.
Then you saw the shirts for all the players and some of the family members and a few other people
that got their hands on one of those shirts.
I think you're going to see a few of those
going to be running around town here pretty quickly.
They also had posters apparently
inside Carver Hawkeye Arena.
A number of people getting their hands on those. I would love one of them.
By the way, maybe put it here in the
background, down in the man cave. Wouldn't mind
that one bit. If somebody happened to grab
an extra one, let me know. You have that part. After after the game i got a kick out of it so the des moines
register printed out those special edition papers you see that a lot after championships and the
like and uh i was thinking to myself how many of these young ladies you know 18 to 22 years old
how many of them actually have read read a newspaper it probably doesn't happen very often
look it's all online anymore.
Got my online subscription to the Des Moines Register,
but don't get the physical paper anymore.
That one just got a kick out of it.
You see as she's being interviewed by Holly Rowe
for ESPN after the game, too,
and watch that on SportsCenter then later in the night.
And you see in the background, Jada Jimfey
and Kate Martin just kind of hamming it up,
and then you remember, oh yeah, these are young ladies.
They're just having a great time.
They're having the time of their lives, and we get to bear witness.
Let's get to the game.
Obviously, the start, amazing.
Really kept Michigan at bay.
The defense was rough at times, but we saw some good moments,
I thought, out of Addison O'Grady. She came in, had that block shot late in the shot clock,
had a couple of tough rebounds there in the paint. Again, we've talked about this in the past,
but it bears mentioning again, there's going to be a moment coming up in March that they're going
to need a big post performance against either the size that they're going to face, physicality that they're going to see,
a team that's just killing them in the glass.
There's going to be a moment that they're going to need.
Addison O'Grady, Sharon Goodman.
We saw Edinger out there tonight.
A.J. Edinger.
We're going to need those players to come in and help.
Not just give minutes, actually help and help win a game.
And we saw some good moments again from O'Grady.
She has an ability to be a solid post player. actually help and help win a game. And we saw some good moments again from O'Grady.
She has an ability to be a solid post player. You want to see more? I get that, but she has it there.
Kate Martin was really good again. Gabby Marshall was able to knock down a couple of shots.
Important for that. Need to get her shooting going. We know what she does on the defensive end of the floor, but she's got to be able to add more. She really does. I think if you've been listening every day, as you
know this, I'm a big Taylor McKay fan. I think at times when they lack shooting, she needs to get
some more minutes and get the rhythm, hit down that three from the top of the key on the throwback
from Kaitlyn Clark. But overall, it was a win against an okay Michigan team.
Team maybe on the outside looking in for the NCAA tournament,
but you just control it.
I mean, you get out to that lead when you let Iowa run in that fashion.
Iowa only had three players in double figures.
Now, when one goes for 49, that's okay, but that's what you get.
And now you look forward, and it is just perfect timing for this team to break the record here, to get it done in these circumstances,
and now to have a week off.
Coach Bluter said yesterday in the press conference before the game
that going to give the girls some time off,
going to give them just an opportunity to reset themselves a little bit
because the grind is going to continue.
And remember what they had to do a year ago,
starting to carve her in the NCAA tournament after winning three games in three
days in the Big Ten tournament again.
They've done that a bunch recently and won a lot of games in the Big Ten tournament under
Coach Bluter.
But the grind that will start on Thursday and what they're still facing now in front
of them, it is arguably their most difficult game that's going to be remaining
coming up in that one, going to Indiana. We just know how good that Indiana team is,
what they can do inside. Speaking of that, I mean, it's a tough matchup. And though we got
them in Carver, though a year ago, didn't go very well in Assembly Hall. And it took a shot at the
horn to beat them in Carver. It's going to be a tough matchup. So to have that opportunity with all the pressure, a chance to reset,
I think the schedule works out incredibly well.
After that, you're back home for Illinois.
You go up to Minnesota, then Ohio State,
potentially playing for regular season title in that game.
If the Buckeyes lose a game, we'll see.
Comes down to the tiebreaker.
At minimum, you can get a tie out of it and at least get a share
if you run the table. Up until that means beating indiana next thursday but
the schedule sets up incredibly well get some rest get some recovery and just all this pressure
that's been there and all these conversations that have really moved away from the team now
when you talk about iowa women's basketball you're always going to talk about kate mcclark
and you should she's the. You should be having those conversations
because it's so important.
But overall, a really good setup here.
Next Thursday at Indiana, Sunday at home,
the 25th against Illinois, Wednesday against Minnesota,
and then Sunday, March 3rd.
And to get in price for that one,
and what will likely be the last regular season game
in Carver-Hawkeye Arena for Kaitlyn Clark. One from 300 fans in attendance, family, to another sold-out Carver-Hawkeye Arena.
What a run. What a season. What a career. What a stud. Kaitlyn Clark, thank you for the moments
that you gave all of us. Let's have a few more. Let's have another run. What do you say?
Big weekend coming up here in Iowa sports,
though the women's basketball team is off.
We got more basketball to talk about.
The men's team comes back home to Carver-Hawkeye Arena at a sold-out Carver for men's basketball.
Yeah, that's right.
It's a sellout for the men.
Haven't had that uttered very often
throughout the course of this year.
We'll talk a little bit about the matchup against the Badgers coming up and
Iowa baseball gets their season started as anticipated as a baseball season.
Maybe that I was ever had.
We'll talk about that as we continue lockdown Hawkeyes.

welcome back in this is the lockdown hawkeyes podcast and i'm trent condon
thanks for making lockdown hawkeyes your first listen every day.
We're free, available wherever you get podcasts.
Your team every day.
That's what we do here across the Lockdown Network.
Doesn't matter what you are looking for,
not just your favorite team in Major League Baseball.
Yeah, that's right, pitchers and catchers.
They've reported the NFL draft.
It'll be here before you know it, even though the offseason is here.
NBA, NHL,
Lockdown Fantasy Sports, Lockdown Bets, we have you covered on the Lockdown Network. Let's get back in to your team right now, the Iowa Hawkeyes, and kick things off with the men's basketball team
as they come back home to Carver. Now, disappointing one, as we talked about in the Instant Reaction podcast yesterday
after Iowa falls on the road to Maryland.
Another blown lead late in that one.
Go back and check it out yesterday and some of my frustrations that definitely came out of that game.
We know, though, that the season is over.
This team is not going to be an NCAA tournament team.
Can they get in the NIT? Perhaps.
Could they make a run? That'd be fun.
But now with it and the schedule that's going to be in the NIT, perhaps. Could they make a run? That'd be fun. But now with it and the
schedule that's going to be in front of them, Iowa needs to see what they got. And I think it
starts at the point guard position. You have to realize and understand right now, if you're going
to go into next season and you're going to do it with either Brock Harding as your starting point
guard, DeSante Bowen as your starting point guard, or if you're going to do it with either Brock Harding as your starting point guard,
DeSante Bowen as your starting point guard, or if you're going to go into the transfer portal
and find somebody else. We have not seen enough out of either of those guys to believe
that they are going to be a plus Big Ten starter at this point. Brock Harding has deficiencies
defensively. He's got to become better as a shooter. He's quick. He can do things off the bounce.
He's got incredible vision, but there's also minimums to his game.
DeSante Bowen, I thought it was going incredibly well at the beginning of the season.
He lost his starting gig, and since then, the minutes have kept going lower and lower for him.
At this point in time, I don't know if either of those guys are good enough to be very good starting point guards.
They can start.
Maybe they start on a bad team.
You don't want that.
The frontcourt has a chance to be really good next season.
What they have coming back with, obviously, Owen Freeman.
Dambale's definitely shown enough this season to think that he can be a guy that can be,
at minimum, a rotation player for an NCAA tournament team.
Sanford comes back. Sanford comes back.
Dix comes back.
We'll see about Tony Perkins coming back for another season of eligibility
if he wants to go that route.
But point guard, you just don't know.
Josh Dix is not a point guard.
Tony Perkins is not a point guard.
They can play it, but that's not what you're looking for in that position.
I want to see a real point guard.
I want to see a high-level point guard and see what they can do with the way that Fran coaches offense, how efficient
they are year after year. I would just love to see, find somebody in the portal to come in.
And you looked at K-State last year, they brought in Noel, right? And that dude was outstanding.
He's a little guy, didn't have everybody after him, was not a guy that, you know, it was Kentucky
and Duke beating down his door to try to get his services he went to Kansas State met in Manhattan you can sell
Iowa City you can get a guy to come in now the NIL's got to be right got to have that happening
too but you can find cards I'd just love to see it because I think the other pieces are there for
Iowa to make a jump back next year got to to be better defensively. We say that every single year.
Yet here we are once again.
It's Wisconsin.
Badgers are not playing well, but it doesn't matter.
Some Wisconsin teams that have really struggled in the past have come into Carver and won.
Iowa's played very well or been playing very well
before the Badgers come there.
Hasn't been a ton of success.
It's a program.
I don't think you want to emulate their ton of success. It's a program.
I don't think you want to emulate their style of play.
It's not fun, but they win.
And that's a lot more fun than the alternate, right?
No doubt about it.
They're wounded.
They got a win earlier this week.
This is not a great Wisconsin team.
It's not a great Big Ten.
Another winnable game.
What's likely going to happen?
Iowa have a lead.
Low the lead. and away we go.
Finally, Iowa baseball in their most anticipated season ever.
Preseason top 20 by Baseball America.
The number one pick in the Big Ten by the coaches.
A 1-2-3 punch as good as anybody, maybe outside the SEC,
and maybe a top two as good as anybody in the country with Marcus Morgan and of course your number one Brody Beck. Those two guys at the top called a ton of Brody's games in
high school. He's a special talent. We know football's his first love, but his calling is
baseball. And for a guy that not just tops out at 100 miles an hour, 101, 102, has the power arm,
but has an ability to miss bats, that big sweeping breaking ball. He has all the, every single thing
that you can want from a pitcher. He's got the size, he's got the frame, it's all there. And now
he's dedicated himself completely to baseball going into this season. It's exciting.
Now, these three games starting up here down in Florida this week,
they're all relatively difficult.
In fact, more difficult than I initially thought.
You see, all right, Seton Hall.
Well, Seton Hall a year ago was on the fringes of being an NCAA tournament team.
Finished in the top half of the Big East, was just on the outside looking in.
And they returned a ton and picked, I believe it was second in the Big half of the Big East, was just on the outside looking in, and they returned a ton and picked,
I believe it was second in the Big East this season.
Ball State picked in the top three in the MAAC this year.
Even Lehigh was picked fourth in their league.
So all three of these games,
they're not that they can just roll up the balls
and go out there and get three victories.
It would be great to be able to do that.
Then they'll come home.
They just added a home game next week.
I know the weather in February has been
nuts here in the state of
Iowa, but they're going to try to play a game
against Loras over at
Dwayne Banks Field coming up on Tuesday, and then
another trip down south as they'll go
down to Jacksonville. They'll get Auburn.
Yeah, pretty good baseball program. They'll get
Virginia. They won a national championship
here semi-recently. And Wichita
State, that was, I mean, the Midwest power,
at least for a guy like me, growing up in the 80s and 90s.
That's what you have coming up next.
A schedule, it's pretty daunting early on.
Got the horses.
They absolutely do.
It should be a really fun baseball season.
We'll continue to break things down.
We'll take a little deeper dive look into things next week
when we have a whole lot of time.
But today, it's all about caitlin clark ah boy just the accolades that continue to roll in some of the
numbers i i gotta mention a few more of these they're just nuts uh this one from optistats
caitlin clark in a record breaking 126 game career for iowa's basketball. 3569 points, 1018 assists, 882 rebounds, 800, excuse me,
400, and 87 threes made. No one else in the NBA, WNBA, or NCAA history, men or women, any division,
has reached all those numbers over any 126 game span. Yeah, pretty good.
Another one for Moptis Stats.
Kaitlyn Clark scored or assisted on 79 points for Iowa women's basketball tonight.
That's the most points accounted for
by any Division I women's player in any game
in the last quarter century.
One more from my buddy Dan Welter,
and I think this is absolutely right.
There needs to be a mark on the floor where Kaitlyn broke the record
no doubt
put something there, put a picture there
and how about
Carver-Kaitlyn Arena
Carver-Clark Arena
that's a pretty good ring to it
