Caitlin Clark
During the preseason of her junior year, basketball coaches and media set high expectations of Clark. She was unanimously picked to be on the AP preseason All-America team. Early into the season, Clark suffered an ankle injury with just a few seconds left in a game against Kansas State. The Hawkeyes lost that game 83–84. Despite the injury, Clark played the next game to help the Hawkeyes win against Belmont. On December 1, she scored her season-high of 45 points but Iowa lost to NC State.
