Last Sunday, the Nebraska Cornhuskers women’s college basketball team stopped Caitlin Clark and the No. 4 Iowa Hawkeyes in their tracks.
Nebraska outscored Iowa State 27-10 in the final period, hitting a game-winning 3-pointer with 30 seconds left and holding Clark, the nation’s leading scorer, to zero points for the first time in the fourth quarter. We overcame the point difference. time in her storied career.
It was the first time in four years that the Cornhuskers beat the Hawkeyes, and Clark fell eight points shy of Kelsey Plum’s all-time scoring record.
But all of this puts the Hawkeyes in the best position to bounce back in Thursday’s home game, with their leading scorer sure to turn in a record-breaking performance and get the team back on track.
The University of Michigan is a mid-major women’s college hoop team.
The Wolverines are 16-9 overall, 7-6 in Big Ten play and boast one of the nation’s top 20 scoring defenses (61.3 points per game).
However, they had a tough time on the road, and although they lost to Toledo in the actual away game, they still had a record of 4 wins, 4 losses, and an ERA of 99.1.

Next to Clark, Iowa State boasts the best offense in the nation (121.3 offensive rating).
And in four games against Michigan, Clark averaged 35 points per game on obscene shooting splits of 56/55/90.
I expect Clark and the Hawkeyes to decimate Michigan’s questionable road defense in a great situation location with historical motivation on their side.
The Play: Iowa -18.5 (-110, DraftKings)
