Iowa City – Nebraska led Iowa through three quarters but the Huskers saw too much of Caitlin Clark in the fourth, as Iowa rallied for an 83-75 women’s basketball win over the Big Red at Carver-Hawkeye Arena on Saturday night.
Nebraska closed the regular season 11-11 and 9-10 in the Big Ten, while Iowa improved to 15-8 and 11-8 in the conference. The Huskers will take the No. 8 seed in the upcoming 13-team Big Ten Tournament in Indianapolis, and will play No. 9 seed Minnesota on Wednesday at 10 a.m. (CT) at Bankers Life Fieldhouse.
The Huskers took a 60-58 lead into the fourth quarter and maintained a 63-62 over the Hawkeyes early in the fourth, before Clark scored 10 of Iowa’s next 12 points. Clark, who scored 19 of her game-high 35 points in the fourth quarter, staked the Hawkeyes to a 74-66 lead with five minutes left in the game, and Nebraska was not able to get closer than five points the rest of the way.
