Caitlin Clark seemingly dropped an f-bomb to fire up the crowd during Iowa’s second-round game.
During Iowa’s tense battle with West Virginia in the second round of the 2024 women’s NCAA tournament on Tuesday night, Hawkeyes superstar Caitlin Clark looks to have issued a NSFW prompt to the crowd to get pumped up for the contest.
The game camera showed Clark seemingly telling the crowd to “Get the [expletive] up!” to fire up the Hawkeyes fans in attendance.
As Clark and her Iowa teammates fought to keep hopes alive in the tournament, a clear title favorite for this year, she wasn’t afraid to say what was exactly was on her mind.
When Clark tells you to get fired up, you listen!

Iowa women’s basketball superstar Caitlin Clark has achieved yet another major milestone in her career
With a free throw late in her team’s second-round game with West Virginia in the 2024 women’s NCAA tournament, Clark notched 1,113 points and passed WNBA star Kelsey Plum for the most points scored in a single women’s Division 1 basketball season.
It’s yet another stunning accomplishment for one of the best college basketball players of all time, as her team also survived a late push from West Virginia to win on Tuesday night and advance to the Sweet 16.
What’s even more impressive is that she’s going to continue to that season-long total and make this record even harder for someone to break.
Caitlin Clark HIT In FACE, Intentional Foul Called | NCAA Tournament, Iowa Hawkeyes vs Holy Cross.

Caitlin Clark draws intentional foul after Holy Cross star hits her in face at NCAA Tournament
Referees at Iowa’s first-round NCAA Tournament matchup against Holy Cross deemed a knock to Caitlin Clark’s face to be worthy of an intentional foul call after a video review
Iowa star Caitlin Clark drew an intentional foul in the second quarter of Saturday’s NCAA Tournament game against Holy Cross, with opposing guard Bronagh Power-Cassidy hitting her in the face as she tried to run into the lane off the ball. Clark stayed on the ground for several moments after the contact.
In NCAA women’s basketball, intentional fouls give a team two free throws and the ball. While ABC’s announcing team suggested Power-Cassidy was simply making a basketball play, the referees disagreed when assessing it through a video review.
Clark was not seriously injured and returned to take the free throws awarded because of the intentional foul. While the top-seeded Hawkeyes came out of the gates slowly in their March Madness opener, they finished the second quarter with a flurry in front of a home crowd.
Entering the game, there was only mutual respect between teams, with Holy Cross head coach Maureen Magarity joking that her daughter loves Clark so much that she provided the Crusaders with a scouting report.
And Power-Cassidy, the Holy Cross player who bowled over Clark, gushed over the Hawkeyes guard in a pregame press conference. “She’s the face of college basketball – men’s and women’s right now,” Power-Cassidy told reporters. “It’s huge, and as a female basketball player, I just have so much respect for her and what’s she’s done for the sport.”
Power-Cassidy was her team’s best player in the early going. The Crusaders trailed by just two after the first quarter thanks to Power-Cassidy’s long-range shooting. She scored 17 first-half points with four made 3-pointers.
However, Iowa leaned on its NCAA Tournament experience to build an 18-point lead entering the intermission. The Hawkeyes are battled-tested, having made the national championship game last season and thriving through a grueling Big Ten schedule this year. They recently won the Big Ten Tournament title.
Clark, of course, is the engine that led Iowa to a No. 1 seed. She’s now the NCAA’s all-time leading scorer. But she’s also an adept passer and rebounder, influencing the game even when her shot doesn’t fall.
That said, Clark has capable teammates who have provided essential offensive balance. Forward Hannah Stuelke scored 47 points in a game earlier this season, and Kate Martin scored 12.9 points per game on 38.6 percent 3-point shooting.
With Clark departing for the WNBA after the NCAA Tournament, Stuelke figures to be the go-to player of the future for Iowa.
But she’s also eager to show that she’s a sufficient main complement to Clark right now as Iowa moves beyond Holy Cross and into more difficult stages of March Madness. As long as Stuelke continues what she’s done for much of the season, Clark will be pleased with her work.
Cameras captured the moment Kim Mulkey told Angel Reese LSU earned a No. 3 seed
On Selection Sunday, the selection committee revealed that LSU earned a top seed in the Albany 2 region. Angel Reese was so excited upon hearing the announcement that LSU earned the No. 2 seed that she started clapping and smiling.
That’s when Kim Mulkey had to break it to her that the team actually earned the No. 3. seed.
The Selection Sunday reactions have been dropping all over social media, and the LSU Lady Tigers reacting to their journey is making the rounds.
First, it was Hailey Van Lith trolling her former team for being in the same region as LSU and having to play Middle Tennessee.
Now, more footage of that moment is surfacing, and Angel Reese can be seen giddily telling Kim Mulkey and Van Lith that the Tigers were a No. 2 seed.
Kim Mulkey quickly clarifies that LSU actually has a No. 3 seed. In real time, Reese starts to understand the gravity of the situation, and her face awkwardly turns from happiness to sadness. (See the 34-second mark of the clip below.)
Loved the reactions that @sayneykid captured at LSU Sunday
– @Reese10Angel had a funny moment when finding out LSU had the 3-seed instead of the 2
