Way game but a lot of Hawkeye fans we welcome you into Big 10 women’s basketball and PE presented by State Farm as the Iowa Hawkeye pay visit to a sold out macki Arena hello and good evening everyone I’m zor Stevenson alongside Kim Adams let’s just cut to the chase there’s almost 15,000 people

In this building because of what Caitlyn Clark can do on that basketball court I have a feeling she’s going to leave all of us with some sort of memory tonight the stats prove it and the tape proves it as well oh yeah absolutely and my opinion Caitlyn Clark is the most

Entertaining player in basketball right now this senior season has been nothing short of magnificent Monster scoring numbers 31 per game leading the nation we know she likes to get a lot of her points from behind the arc she makes about five per game that also leads the

Nation let’s not forget about the vision and the distribution skills third in the nation and assist coming off of her third triple double of the season 14 for her career now Sor I’m still wondering if she has eyes in the back of her head and the side of her head just some more

Numbers to put this greatness into perspective Caitlyn Clark is the only division one basketball player male or female with more than 3,000 points 900 assists and 800 rebounds and the other day she was asked where do you keep that 3,000 Point ball and she said I think

It’s in my locker and it’s not the lack of appreci that she has but when you’re honored with something new every single week it’s just so hard to keep up 14,870 that’s the exact number of people in the building only the fourth sellout in Purdue women’s basketball history and

The Hawkeyes have helped sell out or break attendance records in 28 of the 32 games that they have this season this is a big time atmosphere we’re like embedded with the fans this is going to be fun the band is booming here we trying to figure out what’s the the

Split here I do see a lot of black and gold but some uh some Iowa yellow peppered in throughout and this is a big time match up for the Purdue boiler makers this is a Purdue team that is undefeated on this court this season P

Know in MA Arena if you go back to last February and we are up and underway no surprise that you see Jana Terry number 10 known as the defensive stopper for this boiler maker team matched up against to start things off first possession down low to stalky

Bport picked up by the boiler makers this is a Purdue team that has four seniors in the starting lineup and the number 20 Mary Ashley Stevenson is the lone underclassman yeah it’s an interesting Dynamic with the upper classman but then a class of six freshman were brought in

By Katie Geralds this season really high on them first shot is up Caitlyn Harper just off the mark and quickly the other way this is exactly what Caitlyn Clark and the hawkey do in transition that is her highlight reel the vision the touchdown pass and as Lisa bler told us

Hannah stoki her favorite recipient on that end of the full court pass Terry clicks it up offensive rebound for the boiler makers two Z first minute has gone by here see with the basketball Abby Ellis the Australian in her third season here at Purdue so a couple quick shots from the

Outside for Purdue to start yeah I thought that was a good look got into the paint spread the defense well just not getting that one to fall just yet it’s interesting seeing the vision behind the glass with all the fans Clark kayaking what not what a way to

Start yeah she is feeling the Nets early we saw one of her signature assists now that signature three-pointer where as we mentioned leads the nation with five makes per game Baseline Drive moving it around Purdue trying to get its first score of the game a Purdue team that averages 66

Points per game as of course compared to the 90 Iowa averages Mary ashy Stevenson gets the first bucket for the boiler makers yeah ABI Ellis now a couple times nice job getting into the paint to create again yes of course two for two from the outside for Clark you have to find her

In that transition defense whether she’s bringing up the ball or whether she’s spotting up on the perimeter she obviously cannot have any space one thing Caitlyn really wanted to work on in the off B is open at 8:00 p.m. Eastern on a Wednesday we’ve already seen a lot here

In this opening 2 and 1/2 minutes if there’s a game that you’re just going to go for though if you’re Purdue tonight’s the night you’re trying to protect home floor you got a sold out crowd put it up Harper to the deck blocked by stalky Hannah stalky has been playing so

Well for this Iowa team but it’s like Caitlyn Clark redesigned our highlight open package that was her signature assist up Hannah stalky and then just too easy here a little bit of a step back you have to be ready to contest that better hesitation from Ellis two

Buckets for the Purdue leading scorer in a game like this with this atmosphere you need your seniors to lead the way and ABI Ellis has done that in the opening minutes for do forcing the turnover boiler makers looking to set up the offense back door cut by

Leaden Madison leaden makes her way to the free throw line first free throws of the evening yeah that was nice recognition by Madison Laden she is leading the Big 10 in three-point percentage 49% as a result Gabby Marshall really overplaying her out on the perimeter she recognizes that with a nice back door

Cut Madison leaden a senior out of Indiana and that’s really been a focus for Katie Geralds who’s in her third season here as the head coach of the boiler makers let’s win Indiana let’s get all the talent that’s in this state and have them come to produce yeah when you look at the

Freshman Class the classes she has coming in they are trying to get these Indiana kids as a a turnover just listen to that crowd erup CC Purdue with the Press Hannah stalky gets it over that half court Mark in a mental error has the ball back in the hands of the boiler [Applause]

Makers couple turnovers Here and after those free throws Fue has taking the lead Laden will pull up Ratt in little miscommunication there from Iowa nobody really picking up Laden off of the ball screen just leaving that space for her stalky on the block Cross Court pass Sydney fter knocks it down fter Off the

Bench coming off a game on Saturday where she had a double double 10 points 10 rebounds Lisa blutter really appreciates what she’s able to do she’s part of that depth that BL has talked about yeah she’s really good on the defensive end as well you see the length

And the size but a nice triple to get things going for Her Off the Bench tie game here approaching the five minute Mark at a falter fre ended a 90 Perdue run Ellis St white with it up the boiler makers are fighting yeah right now Purdue just

Bringing more intensity on both ends of the floor I really like how abelis is setting the tone she’s aggressive in her drives and making things happen in the paint when you’re the third ranked team in the country everyone is going to give you their best effort Gabby Marshall from the

And again the vision from Caitlyn Clark going crosscourt Gabby Marshall a player starting to find that shot again she was four of seven from deep in the last game against ruter her best game of the season contact there but no call we play on that’s what happens when you get into

Conference Play It’s physical Terry they leave her open and we were here at shoot around Tim and coaches are saying hey not going to Sag off of you today Jana Terry proving that she has to be guarded yeah Iowa just not really dialed in defensively a falter though on the other

End that gives her five Off the Bench but IA just is a little bit late on close out they’re giving players too much space I think and just allowing Purdue to run their offense with ease going back to back here team showing versatility offensively Derry hauled down by Kate Martin and here’s

Clark transition money time just smooth she wanted the nend one too that was just the slightest of hesitations right around that free throw line extended and absorbed some contact as well that last layup makes it eight points for Clark here in the opening quarter see her eyes looking Marsha already has

One and Kate Martin relentless on the boards foul be on the floor as she tried to keep the possession alive for the Hawkeyes 15- one Haw guys going up against an undefeated team at home Purdue first quarter action well underway hard of your get your mechanics don’t really change it really is about

The leg strength and I feel like Caitlyn Clark is just one of those people that’s good at every sport because if you haven’t yet you need to look up the videos of her swinging a golf club as well she is an insane golfer make it three threes kimoo cc is

Feeling good early here in West Lafayette Purdue just really a step slow on the Closeouts coming off a screens they’re losing her a little bit no surprise that Caitlyn Clark is the first player this evening in double figure she has 11 and in the ball game now you see

Number two with the basketball that’s R shunda Jones a freshman averaging double digits off the bench see they’re sagging off of her and it really made her use her mind there and make a decision and here is the last three Caitlyn was the inbounder on that one and the Purdue defense completely falls

Asleep if Caitlyn Clark is inbounding wherever she is on the court you have to at least figure that they’re going to try to get it back to her add that block to a falter total and the Hawkeyes are off and running basketball stays with Iowa you know we’re privileged to be

Able to get to watch these shoot rounds and see how these teams prepare and it’s always fascinating when you see a team go through an inbounds play just like that one they knew that Madison Laden was going to come off the screen and sydia fter was right there causes the

Turnover and another possession for Iowa foul on the loose ball that will go against Sharon Goodman and I think those are the the type of plays that Purdue are going to need to make this game a little uglier as it was rashanda Jones really getting our hands on the ball The Talented

Freshman in Off the Bench see the Hawkeyes continuing to Sag off of the first year player out of South Ben Indiana deflection there by Caitlyn Clark and that’s a boilermaker turnover Caitlyn Clark fueled up on the defensive end of as well getting in those passing Lanes you can I almost

Think she plays better on the road in a hostile environment like this one well she thrived we were both talking to associate head coach Jan Jensen of the hawkey hawkey and she said that Caitlyn thrives in these environments just like LeBron and Kobe and MJ can put Caitlyn in that category 2

First name basis we did see that sign from one of the young fans Great Signs here Caitlyn logo shot Purdue has gotten lucky on a couple of these misses those are those soccer legs we were talking about Kate Martin just takes it away she

Sees no one is ahead of her all alone at the ring Kate Martin such an important part of this recipe for success for Iowa she can really impact things on the defensive end with her length at about 6′ 61 and showing it on that play largest lead of the evening for the

Hawkeyes at 8 and Iowa just wastes no time getting the ball up ahead even if they don’t immediately get into a shot so backto back buckets by Kate Martin first the steel on the Layin now the outside shot you talked about her leadership and how she’s such an

Important part of this team they refer to her as the glue she’s in her sixth year here in Iowa Caitlyn Clark begged Kate Martin to come back for her last season yeah Iowa now six of nine from three to open up this game Caitlyn Clark with four of those 120 run for

Iowa empty possession [Applause] there Jones holds the follow through gets one to go didn’t hesitate did not hesitate yeah that was a nice possession from Purdue a possession that ktie Gerald want to see them run to push Pace a little bit but to be in control and

Work it around a little bit for that open shot Katie Geralds told you that she wants her team to play Fast kind of how Iowa plays yeah she wants them oh is that our second Bang three yes Abby Ellis had one now Kylie febok are those

On purpose they got a call them Ellis stop and pop shot clock off here in the first quarter we have not had many whistles here in the first the ladies are a little gassed out there better be in shape to play in this league Jones on Clark here 10 seconds to

Go what does Caitlyn decide to do Jones will get fouled there called with the foul excuse me it’s not just Caitlyn off to a hot start her counterpart Kate Martin off the Caitlyn Clark assist Purdue is really going to have to pay greater attention to finding Shooters on the

Three-point line beb on that one got 5.4 on the clock Caitlyn asking for the basketball she keeps it through all the traffic to a [Applause] falter for the buzzer no good so we have the first quarter Iowa with an 11-point lead Caitlyn Clark has 11 points of her own Come to find out Caitlyn Clark is testing people’s loyalty a Purdue girl loves Kaitlyn Clark seems like she’s doing that all over the country though yeah you take a look at these numbers Iowa has sold out a large number of Arenas on the road this season you look

At the ruers number these are the average fan totals on the right when they’re playing Iowa on the left really just remarkable stuff here here I’m from the Northeast I saw various social media posts of people from my area bringing their young girls to go see Caitlyn at Ruckers wearing the Jersey they’re

Looking up YouTube highlights every single night I mean the impact the reach that Caitlyn is having on this game is remarkable and what’s really special is Caitlyn genuinely recognizes that and sees how special that is and it’s it’s something that she knows a big reason of

Why she’s playing this game we happen to be be in the same hotel as the Hawkeyes there were people waiting for the team as they were getting on the bus asking for autographs I told Lisa I’ve traveled with NBA teams and this is what it

Reminds me of and she said I love it they have absolutely embraced the stardom not just of Caitlyn but of the entire team yeah it is big time it’s it’s like a Caitlyn Clark tour right now people are trying to see her wherever they can drive to or fly to we see the

Signs of how far people are traveling just to see her in person Mary Ashley Stevenson going to the line for the first time this evening that foul was on Sydney of falter mentioned that Stevenson is part of this big freshman class that Katie Geralds the head coach at Purdue has

Brought in this Freshman Class averages over 20 points per game for the boiler makers yeah Stevenson recently a big 10 freshman of the week winner one of two boiler makers to Garner that this season deficit now at nine for [Applause] Purdue Clark garnering multiple Defenders that’s no surprise referee gets her with a

Travel Katie Geralds of course that’s not her but she is standing up on the sideline Katie Gerald’s third season here in All American when she played here at Purdue went to the NCAA tournament every single season yeah she has really rejuvenated this program in such a short

Time got them back to the NCAA tournament last year for the first time in six seasons Marshall with a little punk fake and the point guard gets the rebound she’s racing the other way that quickness is impressive ABI Ellis nobody was there for her J ter

Knocks down the jumper and Zora this is more the Purdue team that we saw in shoot around today one that was high in Emotion high energy high intensity especially on the defensive end I’ve been impressed with how they’ve started this second quarter Katie Geralds is wondering okay

I know my team is going to be energized but are they going to harness it in the right way and we’ve seen that so far seven-point game we’re here in the band oh the behind the back pass and the connection from sty I mean are you serious she made it look so easy

It was just completely in stride oh I can’t wait to see the Recs of that so smooth the dime so we we’ve seen her get involved right she’s got double figures Kiton Clark and now it’s about making sure that everybody else gets a piece of the

Pie nice take by Abby Ellis she says right back at you Energizer Bunny is what they refer to her here in West LA yeah Abby Ellis the one who’s going to get her team involved get the crowd involved but we have to revisit this they’re playing her tight a ball fake no

Look behind the back pass and she she doesn’t even respond she’s like this is this is just what I do that is a remarkable play and what you have to appreciate is how Purdue is coming right back at the Hawkeyes they have a spectacular play you don’t hang your head Ellis right

Down the floor she’s already in double figures that last free throw puts Ellis at 10 points yeah I think it had started on this end of the floor for Purdue this second half of that first quarter they were just slow not energized and now that intensity is returned Davis knocks it down Holly

Davis of course has a role on this Hawkeye team but she was at Central Michigan before she came to Iowa average 17 points per game in the few years that she was at Central Michigan she has the ability to put up points that is now eight threes for the hawkey

Stevenson physical down low we have ourselves a basketball game Stevenson really got position there and went up strong with the ball stalky does the exact same thing where’s the defense Kim talk about going strong strong I mean that is a tough one to defend I think Hanna stoky really coming into her

Athleticism and her strength her explos expess and we saw that on that possession 3627 extra steps there by Milo Reynolds so Iowa basketball with a full shot [Applause] clock Caitlyn Clark continuing to lead all scores with 11 points skip pass leaves Martin right in the Pocket and that possession was saved by Davis Martin puts it up for two and for Purdue something like that can’t happen in this game Iowa shooting close to 70% you can’t give them a second look you have to end the possession with a Rebound Ellis looking for an answer Reynolds puts it up from Deep I’m watching Caitlyn’s eyes but that’s a mistake by me because we know her eyes don’t mean anything the other way Purdue Terry down to leaden deflected by stalky she’s had a couple of those this evening yeah

Stalky is bringing the heat inside some of the Purdue fans wanted a foul call there but I what I liked about that Jana Terry really eyes up getting the ball to the middle of the floor playing with some Pace that’s what Katie Gerald wants to see from her

Group we’re in the midst of big 10 play Terry has had a couple of jumpers from that very spot that elbow 15 ft out the sweet spot for number 10 yeah Jana Terry taking the uh defensive strategy personally here Iowa playing way off of her she not down a

Couple Caitlyn has two honors she gets around them dumps it off to [Applause] Marshall foul on the floor as Goodman was trying to go up for the O board Big 10 play the Hawkeyes are 4 and0 boiler makers two- one Purdue was supposed to play Maryland on Saturday at the xinity

Center in College Park there was a leak in the roof and so the game is now postponed to Sunday k Martin fouled on the inbound yeah that was an odd one just to spend all of that time they were warming up and now to have to repeat that whole

Trip as we look back here at Kate Martin pretty straight up there from the two Defenders on either side I thought Kate Martin already pulled in four rebounds in this first half we’ve talked about how she’s the glue in a big part of the leadership she’s also tough as Nails played football growing

Up so much respect from Martin among these Hawkeyes 11-point game 520 to go here in the [Applause] second see Ellis playing off the ball as Terry brings it up try to get their leading scor some Looks even though Terry has knocked down a few Iowa continues to Sag off and kudos to Jana Terry she keeps going right at the nail of that defense intercepted by the boiler makers two on one a little run here by Purdue okay Purdue and you see just how

Much they can get this crowd on their sides with energizing plays like that defense to offense another deflection after an 11-point lead the boiler makers now how of it down to seven Purdue is fighting here in West Lafayette our studio team of Carolyn Mano Aaliyah Boston and Megan mckuin

Have you covered at the break for our Infinity 10g halftime report meantime it’s a seven-point game here inside Mackie aren Caitlyn Clark leading all scores with 11 points she hasn’t scored in the second quarter but she’s getting it done in a lot of different ways yeah

She’s had a big impact in this opening half she’s knocked down three of her signature triples she has been smooth and slippery on the drive this was just completely losing the nation’s best scorer off of the inbounds but she’s been active on the defensive ends as well getting the turnover on that one

And she has five assist as well zor as we know she has that Vision we saw the crazy no look behind the back pass got to love the T Swift reference there seen a couple of those floating around Caitlyn coming into this game off of a triple double on Saturday at

Ruckers her third of the season so we’ll keep an eye on all of these numbers remember 11 points right now five assists three rebounds for Clark shot clock winding down Martin gets it off in time but that one is a noo yeah Purdue switched to a little bit

Of a matchup Zone look there caught Iowa off guard a little bit Iowa is used to seeing a lot of different defenses and that is exactly what Katie Gerald didn’t want to happen tonight yeah that transition buckets that was a focus of shoot arounds really trying to Cloud Caitlyn Clark’s vision

For those up ahead passes and they just completely lose Kate Martin down the floor Reynolds going to a spin move she creates some [Applause] contact and here is that last play Caitlyn Clark you have you have to pick her up early you have to get a hand in

Her face try to take that Vision away and then of course you have to mark up with Kate Martin who’s just going to Sprint to the rim just another one that’s a little bit too easy here for Iowa Kate Martin now the second Hawkeye in double figures and we know that this

Iowa team is so dangerous when other people get involved meantime n Reynolds at the free throw line she is one of Six Sisters so three different pairs of sisters on this Purdue team talk about a family affair yeah really crazy only School in division one to have that her sister a

Freshman not playing this season unfortunately out with injury but Mila Reynolds coming over back to her home state after freshman year at Maryland [Applause] seven-point game after those free throws Clark setting up the Iowa offense Martin now back door to Clark she’s maneuvering basketball goes off her

Foot possession Purdue yeah I like the crowding of that from Purdue we saw them work on that a lot and shoot around today kind of showing a hard aggressive hedge or a double team we didn’t see it too much in the game yet but that was a

Good example of the impact that that can have Terry looking for some help do bobbles it stays right [Applause] here 309 to go here in this second quarter Smith off the curl blocked by Caitlyn the other way loo and stalky just gets it right out of

The air yeah stoki got up for that rebound really coming into that explosiveness Clark puts it up just needed a second chance we’ve seen a couple where they forgot about her that time they didn’t that was well contested by Jana Terry just too good from Caitlyn Clark Ellis high aring and Kate Martin

Getting it done on both sides of the [Applause] floor Ellis taking in the basketball away but taken right back loose ball no surpris that it’s Kate Martin that’s on the floor yeah Kate Martin on one end Abby Ellis on the other have to commend these women for diving on the floor well

They’re playing for something this league is so competitive every win is so hard to come by pivot foot for stalky that’s an an1 opportunity for number 40 impressive there for both Caitlyn Clark she is she passes through a double team here she whips it in there

And then Hannah stalky I’ve I have not seen her be this aggressive really use her physicality Caitlyn Clark just just toying with the defense there Jana Terry really just giving her that right hand but Hannah stalky you know just a role player last year with Monica sonano the

All everything Center for this group Hannah sty really seeing the impact she can make stalky the reigning sixth Player of the Year in the Big 10 as you mentioned Kim now in a much bigger role in the starting position you’re doing something right if you’re one of Caitlyn Clark’s fav Target Sydney a

Falter tough on the o glass yeah just again kind of tough back breaking moments for for do in a game where Iowa doesn’t need any additional help ktie Geralds wants to talk things over Iowa up 14 here in West Lafayette continues for the Hawkeyes and this is where I would tends to sustain

Its lead and now it’s on Purdue to see how they bounce back and get back into but if you go back to the last time these two teams met in the Big 10 quarterfinals a season ago Purdue rallied from an early deficit to take a

Lead in the third quarter still a lot of basketball to be played and the boiler makers have proven that they can make a [Applause] comeback here’s Jones trying to make something happen no room to work Ellis keeps the play alive in the relentlessness of Sydney falter on the defensive end yeah

We’ve talked a lot about this Iowa offense how well oiled they look but credit to some of these defensive possessions just not allowing ball handlers to get in front really speeding Purdue up a little bit making them feel [Applause] [Applause] frazzled so that was a foul called on a falter she goes to the bench Gabby Marshall now back in the basketball game little Inside Out game extra steps for Terry that’ll be the sixth turnover for the boiler makers yeah that’s a tough one cuz it was looking like a nice

Possession coming together Caitlyn Harper nice post position in and out and that’s where you think maybe Jana Terry just should take that initial shot instead of dribbling right into the defense Clark just off on that one let’s see how Purdue tries to take advantage Jones met at the rim by

Stalky the passion from the sophomore my goodness I was about to say what a flashy take from rashanda Jones but the sophomore Hannah stalky says not in this paint that looked like a volleyball Spike I was watching a lot of the NCAA volleyball tournament that looked like a spike her ability to get

Up and not make contact you see it on that contest as well that’s a [Applause] skill less than a minute to go here in the [Applause] half Clark has 14 she goes to the spin cycle it’ll stay here still lots of time to work 32.9 on the game clock 11 on the shot clock Jane Terry and Caitlyn Clark both having some conversation with the

Referees right now we play [Applause] on here comes Martin remember she’s already in double figures and now there’s a whistle goes against the Hawkeyes and that’s what Purdue is going to have to do on the defensive glass because we’ve seen Hannah stalky really sky in for a couple of these rebounds that time

They made contact with her and able to get that over the back Laden walks to the free throw on Iowa now in the bonus laid in just four points so far but she comes off a game over a week ago against Ruckers where she had

19 yeah I think she’s going to have to get going a little bit she’s been really good in their first three big 10 games she’s averaging about 17 points per game we obviously know her’s the three-point shooter they got to find ways to get her some more opportunities we talked about

Her ability to put it up from Deep she’s only taken one three so far Madison leaden meantime time Caitlyn Clark as the shot clock is winding down her field goal percentages actually go up Clark tried to draw the foul referee signal to count it oh my what’s the

Verdict so Purdue had a couple fouls to give here so they were intentionally fouling her but I I agree with the officials I think Caitlyn quickly got into that shoot motion I mean first of all foul or not are you kidding me with the shots and I think they overturn this

Zora well and this is not a reviewable call so you can’t review whether the shot was before or after the foul so we play on 5.6 to go Kate Martin getting it right to [Applause] Clark she will go to the free throw line this time and she is not not happy with

The call you see your teammates uhoh she yeah she’s getting a little feisty right now trying to get in the face of the rep but you can tell that kind of thing fuels her up but Zora like I said I thought she kind of quickly got into

That shooting motion she may have had a case but just unbelievable that she made that shot yeah let let’s go back to the fact that she made that shot great Point Kim we’re trying to figure out all the referee stuff is it a foul is it not

Like she made it shot at half court no surprise there still looking at the ref a little bit right makes the free throw looks to the ref and then knocks down the second one uhoh she’s she’s still looking back at him yeah Kylie Feb all right Kate oh oh Lisa

Blera BL not happy either they get Caitlyn out of the game for anything happens before the half Ellis she has time so our half time score will be 5137 of course not without some passion Caitlyn Clark is leading all scores right now and she’s leading talk back with the referees as

Well 14-point lead for the Hawkeyes here at the half meantime Purdue has 20 minutes to try and protect this undefeated street that it has at home welcome back into Mackie Arena everyone I’m Zora Stevenson alongside Adams so 14876 people of sellout crowd here at Purdue all came to see Caitlyn Clark and

They got to see a show in that first half yeah this atmosphere Sandstorm going crazy right now but so too did Caitlyn Clark in the opening 20 16 points seven assists four of eight from Deep feeling good getting active on the defensive end of the floor I mean this was absurd no look

Behind the back pass coin with some ball on a string still splashing but here we go back to this to close the half I’m sticking with it Sora I think that should have been a counted three-point basket and the foul they ruled that it was a non-shooting foul however this has

To go down as maybe the best non counted shot of all time from the corner of the floor switched it she’s actually’s right in front of us now still talking to the ref as we looked at her stats great efficiency and we see the assist numbers

As well Jim I love how you’re standing your ground on this one you’re saying official man I I Caitlyn Clark is a smart player she knew the foul was coming she immediately drew the ball up into the shooter’s pocket that should have been a four-point play those first

Half stats for Caitlyn Clark for our big shots presented by xinity PNG Network so so third quarter is up and underway here they have choreograph dances here in Mackie Arena I was just going to say we need to learn this we saw one of the Purdue

Men’s players he was part of the viral video he was doing it alongside with the fans next time we come here we got to join in this well and a big difference this half is the Hawkeyes will have to play on the side of the floor with the

Band which is one of the talking points in shoot around today they’re going to try to countd down the Hawkeyes earlier than be shot clock winding down a couple deflections at the rim for Purdue and a foul that’s how the first possession will [Applause] end nice defensive stand there Madison Laden maybe embellishing

That one a little bit but a good start for the boiler makers they try to get back in this one I thought they responded well in the second quarter after a slower first let’s see if they can do it again here in the third shooting percentages 60% in that first half for Iowa

42% for the boiler makers Caitlyn Harper gets Purdue on the board here in the second half yeah really nice pop out from Caitlyn Harper the 6-3 center showing a nice shooting stroke from Deep the other way Caitlyn goes right back at it Hannah stalky has really showed her ability to command the off

Defensive glass that’ll be an offensive foul off the ball yeah that was a pretty easy call Hannah sty really just kind of put two hands on the player in front of her and shoved her out of the way right in front of the official nice call there

By the crew second foul on Hannah [Applause] stalky Terry taking her time in the half court here a nice dish to Abby Ellis a little too much Pizzazz on that back door pass for Ellis to handle yeah too bad that was a nice idea nice cut from Ellis but one of

The Iowa Hawk guys got their hands on the pass so just like the first half started Jana Terry is on Caitlyn Clark they switch her off to Ellis and a different defense Clark left all alone that’s five threes on the evening for her that was a different defense for Purdue there yeah they

Switched up to that matchup Zone where they’re kind of just passing off Caitlyn Clark you cannot lose number 22 in black no matter where she is in this [Applause] Arena Stevenson tries to lob it up but it’s deflected by stalky Martin brings it up for the Hawkeyes Caitlyn already has one three

In the third quarter quick give and go to Martin met at the rim by some traffic and Caitlin Clark makes a pass you see players kind of pointing pointing you can’t point on the nation’s best scorer score you have to get in her face you have to be chasing her through

The defense well she needs no space to get her shot off stalky met at the rim by Harper two chippies by the Hawkeyes Terry transition down to Ellis and I did some see some extra steps there extra steps by Ellis I think she’s saying hey in Australia we’re allowed to

Do this let’s see one two I don’t know zor that may have been like a really quick hero step Iowa wasting no time so you know you know that you’re calling the game good when both teams have words for you as a referee that’s when you know you’re

Calling it fair comes Ellis off the screen aggressive drive abelis to the cup she’s got 12 yeah this has been a physical start to the second half abiel is so good at turning the corner help doesn’t slide over in time and she is fired up on the

N1 Hannah stoky trying to block it but nice use of the body by Abby Ellis to protect the ball on the way up Ellis leads this do team in scoring you see that bow on her hair she’s from Australia her mom sends her four to five spools of Riven before every season so

She has a touch of Australia for every game she cuts a different one so she can put it in her hair stalky power move in the post and credit to these boiler makers really bodying up the Iowa bigs yeah absolutely there’s a noticeable difference in the physicality and the Walling up of the

Boiler maker bigs and Lisa bler telling her play players to ball fake not just try to go up and flail around stalky gets it right back they want to play through her inside out fter sets her feet really nice look from Hannah sty who as we mentioned they’re playing her

Tough inside that time she doesn’t try to force up a shot she looks opposite wide open Sydney a falter well anytime you play inside out it forces the defense to collapse and that’s how you get Shooters open so that’s Harper going right back at stalky yeah she’s had a really nice

Opening couple of minutes on both ends here Iowa taking its time in the half court still has a double digit lead the ball is bobbled in a falter back to back she is one of three Hawkeyes in double figures tonight yeah was back to that matchup Zone Z and a

Falter just attacked the Gap right down the middle Purdue’s got to be more aggressive if they’re going to stick with that match up Zone and Iowa has experience dealing with what some people may refer to as junk defenses boxing ones matchup zon switching things up they have the

Ability to recognize it and still get into their offense they’ll try again it’s actually something that Lisa bler said she wants her team to get more into in this part of the season fake by Martin draws the [Applause] foul and here’s that beautiful look opposite Hannah stalky to Sydney aalter

Perfectly teeing it up there and then a falter again I mean picking her spots really well reading what the defense is giving her and attacking that matchup Zone when she sees it Martin making her second second trip to the free throw line I mean she’s so vocal as a leader

If she ever has to miss practice cuz she doesn’t feel well or she’s injured coaches will say hey Kate’s not here somebody else has to be vocal be loud so pivotal yeah you really see the motor of Kate Martin at all times really can get it fueled up on the defensive end I’ve

Seen some games where he has a couple of blocks and that really gets the group going Harper really looking for her shot early in this half that one’s Off the Mark 16-point lead is the largest Clark puts it up and in the celebration why not Caitlyn Clark

The first to 20 she has 22 matching the number Big 10 women’s basketball and peacock is brought to you by xinity the 10g network look at the alltime scores in division one women’s basketball Kelsey Mitchell Kelsey Plum Jackie Styles Caitlyn Clark on her way to that top spot 310 points before to reaches Kelsey plums record

Yeah these are some Heavy Hitters on the list three active WNBA players Kelsey Mitchell a big 10 Legend out of Ohio State but Caitlyn Clark I mean you look at the differential there about 300 points behind Kelsey Plum averages about 30 a game so uh a little math there 10

Looking at about 10 games if she stayed on Pace that would be next month everybody continues to count down and watch Caitlyn’s progress in this one 22 points 6 threes make it almost 24 missed at The Rim spoke too soon the sometimes when you shoot from 30 ft

It’s hard to hit the layups that was Jaya Smith with the pullup yeah nice response for Purdue to get it up and out but o Gabby Marshall knocking down to the 13th triple for Iowa Gabby Marshall mostly has a defensive role on this Iowa team but has

The ability to put it up from Deep streaky shooter 12 points in the last game that they played against ruers on Saturday [Applause] Smith it’s a 20o game if you’re Purdue you want to make a push in the last four here of the third [Applause] quarter there’s

Like quarter yeah Purdue has had some nice moment offensively but they have to try to disrupt this Iowa offense specifically from the three-point line they’ve made 13 Iowa only makes about nine and a half per game Sharon Goodman going to the pivot foot and that’s the trouble we talk

About they’ve hit 13 threes well they’ve got a couple of bruisers inside who can hurt you as well and Sharon Goodman actually got some extended minutes and some starts that’s Mary Ashley Stevens with the elbow jumper when Hannah stalky was out for a few games so she’s had the opportunity to shine this

Season Caitlyn Clark out of the game and these are great moments for Lisa to see what this team can do without it Superstar yeah you want to feel like there’s next to no drop off in terms of continuing to run your offense i’ say they’ve done that the last couple of

Possessions backto back buckets for Sharon Goodman as Caitlyn gets set to check back in we knew it was only a matter of time 22 at the scores table right now Harper teas it [Applause] up Kate Martin just hold down her seventh rebound she is really going after those

Boards Davis tried to get it to Goodman and Ellis in the open Court behind the back how will it end she needed some help there Smith Baseline gets her own rebound met by the [Applause] Trees 20 points is still to spread just under two to go here in the third quarter gearbot takes it to the rim you know Iowa has a lot of Shooters right known for the ability to knock down from the outside but you see fear there trying to make a move to the cup

Yeah I was just going to say we’re seeing the versatility of this Iowa offense they’ve knocked down 13 threes they’ve gotten 26 points in the paint and then they’ve really been on the attack on drives as well and defensively that’s a place where Iowa has improved this season

Coaches are starting to notice that they allow 66 points per game as a team and that’s down from 71.8 last season a point of emphasis for Lisa BL like hey okay we put up points 90 points per game but we’re looking to defend as well yeah Lisa bler also impressed with her team’s

Rebounding as of late they’re a top 20 team in terms of rebounding margin about plus 11 on the glass this season better than prior years leading the conference in that category Clark back in the game stat line 22 points seven assists four rebounds driving right nless some contact Clark is upset she

Get teed up that one’s been brewing for the latter part of the game yeah you could tell that one was probably going to come that was the same official that she was not happy with on the no counted near half court shot uh I didn’t really I

Don’t know what the case was here uh nobody touched her and she’s telling the official to call the foul uh I thought that was really nice defense from Purdue they crowded her I don’t think they fouled and I was just saying This Crowd has really been deflated and gotten out

Of the game well something like that has really rejuvenated the energy in the building so Purdue will have a shooter go to the free throw line for two and they will get the ball 7351 121 to go is there ever strategy as a player to maybe push the

Rest to a point where you do get that technical so maybe you start getting the call you one just a thought I’m putting it out there I’ve never heard it from a player perspective I know that there’s coaches sometimes get to fire up their team but I think that was just frustration from

Klin I don’t think that’s going to help her uh turn the official to her side but it’s interesting that Lisa is leaving her in the game right now I guess she trusts her sometimes a coach might take their player out just let her cool off a little bit really a lot of frustration

There again I I thought that was really nice defense from Purdue collapsing um I don’t really know what the case there was from Miss Clark so leaden went one for two at the line Fue gets the ball back because of that Technical and this is where you want to

Capitalize but this is kind of where she could be dangerous too when she’s this upset we paused because there was a chance that one was going [Applause] in we talk so much about 33 Madison leaden she’s yet to make a three-pointer tonight she’s leading the conference 49%

In that area you needed her to get hot to add a spark to the boiler makers just hasn’t happened yeah it’s it’s an interesting case cuz she’s been so good in Big 10 play the first three games 17 a game has made 10 threes in just three

Games and she’s only attempted one they just haven’t found her in her spots and that was part of the Scout too for the haw guys follow Laden wherever she goes we know she wants to put it up shot clock off here in the third quarter you could almost use this if

You’re the hawkey to test your time score situations this looks exactly like the uh situation at the end of the second quarter except we’re on the other end of the Court Caitlyn wants to keep it 5 Seconds there’s a whistle see she got a foul call she got

It but they’re not in the bonus yet so it doesn’t really do much they’re just going to have to inbound it here with three seconds so not a bad foul for Purdue 3.2 you can get a pass or a dribble in with 3.2 to go she’s again calling for a

Shooting foul it’s only the third team foul so that’s a fact that no shot Davis left [Applause] alone third quarter ends with the Hawkeyes up big 7352 as we head into the fourth quarter next the Hawkeyes that is going to be a good one on Saturday they are

The only two remaining undefeated teams in Big 10 play well that is I’m sorry well at this moment that is still true yes Iowa looking to stay undefeated Purdue hoping that’s not for case after the next 10 minutes let’s see what they bring out Iowa starts the fourth quarter

With a 21-point lead and we mentioned that match up with Indiana on Saturday that will be in Iowa City Indiana and Iowa are two of the three ranked teams in the Big 10 right now the third would be Ohio State empty possession to start the fourth quarter yeah the Big 10 is

Interesting right now outside of Iowa and Indiana there are a lot of toss-ups going on Michigan State you were on hand for that one nearly taking down Iowa in Iowa City last week that believe they were the first team outside of the pole this week Michigan beat Ohio State a

Couple weeks ago so there’s a lot to figure out in the conference well and I’m I’m so curious and fascinated because you mentioned that Michigan beat Ohio State but then that same Michigan team loses to Minnesota um so that middle part of the conference really up for

Grabs but it’s clear that Indian and Iowa are at the top right now but still very much early in confidence [Applause] play now Terry has found her sweet spot in this game she’s now in double figures yeah she said some really nice moment five of seven shooting I don’t

Think she took a shot in the third quarter she disappeared a little bit she’s clearly shown great efficiency when she is taking her shots well and ktie Geralds wants to see more aggression offensively in terms of looking for own shot she creates for others but Katy Geralds wants J Terry to

Shoot more that’s Gabby Marshall and that’s a great extra pass from Caitlyn Clark who drew two fires a quick pass to a wide open Gabby Marshall in the corner Hannah stalky six rebound I’m just so amazed at how she just grabs it right out of the [Applause]

Air marshall looked at the basket Iowa stays in its offense Marshall has three threes on the backside collision between Davis and leaden Laden slow to get up ground yeah that was a really patient offensive possession for Iowa with a size of a lead working through the offense oh yeah not intentional by

Either player there but a tough [Applause] Collision Clark off Sky tried to keep it alive I think they miss hannnah stoki a couple times in size I think that’s what Lisa bler might be saying Hannah stoki has had great one-on-one position with a defender on her back and they’ve just

Swung it around to the opposite side and you want to keep the energy if you’re either team right if you’re Purdue you’re trying to make a run get it to 10 points whatever the goal is and then if you’re Iowa right there don’t play the score with the three-point shot teams

Have the ability to get back in quickly that’s Harper and one opportunity yeah Caitlyn CL Caitlyn Harper has had a really nice second half here we saw her knock down a three I think she’s been really aggressive in her post-ups matching the physicality of Hannah stalky not an easy shot there

Kind of leaning away Le it high up off the glass Caitlyn Harper has shown the move she has in that postup game she shoots 68% in those actions that that’s the comfort zone get back to the basket make a move and go up she converts on three-point Play Marshall falls down on the

Attempt that’ll be a foul on Kate Martin her third Martin clearly not a fan of the call yeah but like you said I think Iowa needs to continue playing within themselves and not get stagnant or get too focused on the officials Davis Skip pass Clark in and out

Purdue wasting no time we’ve seen Abby Ellis take advantage in transition multiple times this evening she will go to the free throw line after that drive her effort her energy has been a constant and it always is since she’s been in a Purdue uniform she is going to

Lead the charge for this group so so far tonight I mean this Iowa team the offense has been clicking on all cylinders 48% from three that’s Ellis’s 14th Point that’s right about at her average gets some both and Gabby Marshall is going to head to the bench she has three

Fouls 701 to go here in the fourth full court pressure by the boiler makers got to create some Havoc if you want to get back in this one there you have it that’s that’s exactly what they wanted to do Terry right into a rhythm [Applause] shot Harper sets the feet in and

Out and I liked that full court pressure I think it’s a strength of this Purdue team you you obviously have to pick your spots based on who’s in the lineup who’s fatigued Clark in attack mode she’s hit helped up by teammates and she’s hit some threes but

She’s stayed on that attack she loves going to that right side lot of contact there with Caitlyn Harper we’re here in this student section the effects of a sold out crowd here in macki Arena almost 15,000 on hand I’m I’m thinking D I think these might be the first free throws at this

End of the floor for Iowa cuz we haven’t seen the band really play a factor yet I mean if you’re the student section here at Purdue this is your time to shine it does not face Caitlyn Clark at all she knocks him boat down you know the the the Clark signs

Have have ceased I’m looking around the arena like where are they I mean one little girl said this was her birthday present another had a sign that said she drove four hours to watch Caitlyn Clark play amazing to see her impact that’s Harper with the jumper she’s now in double figures 11

Points for Caitlyn Harper two threes meantime Kate Martin patience down [Applause] low now Caitlyn Clark with the full court pressure see the ball go in the hoop and and now you get some energy on the other end too [Applause] 80 points so far for the Hawkeyes they

Average just over 90 that’s good for second in the Big 10 that high scoring average because of the the pace that they play at how lethal they are in transition and of course it’s always nice when you have a superstar that averages 31 yeah I mean the 90 points you would

Think like they shoot a ton of Threes I mean tonight they’ve made more than they usually do they usually make about nine threes per game so a lot of it does come from The Fast Break the look ahads that fast pace you mentioned well in the last

Couple games theyve pounded it in the paint talking about the Hawkeyes if you go back to their here’s leaden gets her first three nice to see that go in for her the shooter yeah Madison Laden little bit of a quiet night for her now up to 10 quick First Step by

Caitlyn just keeping an eye on our numbers 26 points and we always ask all these coaches how do you contain slow down Caitlyn Park I’m surprised more teams don’t try to take away her right-handed drive like I’m sure she’s going to make a lot of left-handed layups but she’s so

Comfortable going to that right and I never really see a focus of trying to get her to go the other way I think it’s so hard because the numbers will tell you she likes that pullup three going left and so everybody is saying you mean you see Ellis almost

Forcing her right because she wants to get left but then when you force her right she’s got the drive and it’s a pick your poison situation Iowa holding on steady double digit lead continues from Mackie Arena we are just getting started with our Big 10 women’s basketball peacock

And looking into the future you can expect to see a whole lot of Caitlyn Clark and the Hawkeyes we got IA match up against Wisconsin next Tuesday and then look ahead to that January 20th game at Ohio State it will Air both on NBC and stream here on peacock so

Earlier today I was going to get my morning tea at the hotel Cofe shop and I look down and there’s a tip jar and it says pick your favorite athlete Caitlyn Clark who mind you is the away team here in West Payette or Zack Edy I look take

A peek in the jar Zack Edy’s jar has no tips in it Caitlyn Clark’s is full if that tells you anything about the phenomenon behind this athlete I I just have so many questions like why why is a Caitlyn Clark tip jar on the campus of

Purdue univers like I just I don’t know how this happened the coffee shop set it up now I would like to think that all the tips went to the Baristas but I was fascinated with the fact that dang the hometown team does not even have Zach’s back all hail women’s basetball all the

Time Zach Eed loses a game and no more tips for him that is rough that’s not hey we’ve already seen the Loyalty here in Purdue or lack thereof with with some of these signs it it’s just so great to see the passion behind this sport Kim a

Sport that we love we grew up playing and um that we now just get to appreciate everybody else kind of getting on the bandwagon yeah and I mean my hope when I see an arena like this I mean this is 10,000 more fans than they usually average like I hope these people

Come back to support Purdue I hope they’re not just coming out to see Caitlyn like come out and support Purdue all the time it’s a fun game it’s a fast-paced game and and you’ve got a head coach and Katie Geralds who works out with her teammates or works out with

Her players um knows what it’s like to be at the top and Elite a appearance and All American they’re stalky flying through the lane uh you’ve just got a lot of passion a lot of Talent on this Purdue team yeah Katie Gerald such a firecracker killing it on the recruiting

Trail right now as you mentioned earlier really trying to hone in on these local Indiana Superstars and keep them here in West Lafayette Stevenson calling for the basketball going into her bag Marshall the rim you would think she’s at home that’s four threes for Gabby Marshall and quickly Katie Geralds calls a

Timeout Katie Gerald’s not happy right now looking right at her players who did you have who do you have she doesn’t care about the score right now this is a major emphasis for their team Gabby Marshall has knocked down three threes already she’s left wide open but this

Has been a great couple of games for Gabby Marshall Zora she’d been struggling to shoot a little bit this season below 30% but now she has made eight threes in the last two games four at ruter four on the road here tonight so certainly a good sign for Gabby and

Iowa and with that Caitlyn Clark tabs another triple double that’s two triple doubles in a row four on the season 15 15 for her career Caitlyn Clark continuing to do it all man I mean it’s like she makes it look so easy but we can’t forget just

How difficult it is to achieve one of those let alone back to back let alone 15 it speaks to the trust that she has from her teammates her commitment to getting multiple people involved you see those 10 rebounds the hustle plays and then of course with 26 points and six

Threes we know she can knock down shots from just about [Applause] anywhere and they’re still 303 to go yeah you wonder if coach looks to make any subs here but doesn’t look like she’s looking down the bench a falter on the blast stripped down by Ellis and in

Watching Caitlyn Clark she tends to stay in and and they realize that fans are here to see her yeah she doesn’t care what the scor she’s she’ll play it like it’s 00 right now and she’s looking to get her first bucket of the game that’s the competitive [Applause] Spirit foul as a falter

Tried to cut through the lane Stevenson [Applause] second so now we see some substitutions Taylor McCade Jada jimy add ogrady getting in the game for the Hawkeyes look at this Ovation for Caitlyn Clark there are the signs you were looking for2 is my goal that’s pretty pretty powerful right

There so if that is the end tonight for Caitlyn Clark she will finish with 26 points 10 rebounds and 10 assists she looks upset with herself on the bench like she looks like she’s just not happy with how she played but she just got a triple double she’s she proba a triple double

There’s no celebration for her has cracked the smile since warm-ups look at the 22 multiple 22s I mean what those young girls are going to remember that moment forever well Caitlyn has said she Embraces the fact that she is one of if not the face of

The game right now and she knows every move she makes that little girls little people everywhere are are looking to her and want to be like her still no smileing the expectation maybe you know ice in her veins when you’re putting up triple doubles averaging

31 I guess you smile when you put up 40 I did see your smile after that buzzer beater last week so there I would hope so right that was wild you had a front row SE for that one my goodness and I will say despite the score right now these fans have

Stayed yeah they are into it and like I said I just I hope that they keep showing up this is a a talented Purdue team they caught Iowa on a really good shooting night but this is a a team that can really cause some problems make games

Difficult for some of the Big 10 teams I think especially when they really put on this full court pressure that we’re seeing I think this is a a real strength of theirs that they didn’t use too much tonight just because of how good Iowa is in the open floor and Caitlyn clar kind

Of just weaving her way through op press Purdue was one of seven Big 10 teams that went to the NCAA tournament last season two and one in Big 10 play their next matchup comes Sunday in College Park to take on Maryland and they’re a really veteran

Heavy team as Katie Geralds looks on a talented freshman class but starting four seniors and grad students those type of things go far in in tight games in conference Play and the players here Purdue have nothing but positive things to say about their head coach Mayor Ashley Stevenson The Freshman on record saying I wanted to come here because my head coach has done everything that she’s asking of me yeah that’s really special and we’re seeing you know the recruit she’s

Bringing in she’s clearly connecting with these players and has something great to sell here at Purdue that’s Reynolds rattles it [Applause] in and all of these Iowa players on the floor can knock it down from Deep including mccab here who has the ball the cave off the [Applause]

Screen 10 seconds to go in the shot clock jimy with the reverse and Iowa still playing Davis has to put it up someone does that’s before the shot clock oh great left alone and Iowa still Relentless keeping the ball alive I mean if you’re Katy Geralds that’s what you

Don’t want to see towards the end of the game right no matter what the score is you want to still finish out hard stick to your fundamentals and it is you know some new players in the game Grady backto back buckets we’re seeing the depth that Lisa

Blutter talked to us about I mean these players don’t play too many minutes but but they’re ready when their number is [Applause] called in and out for Reynolds shot clock is off in this [Applause] one Molly Davis would just dribble [Applause] It 9671 Iowa’s 12th game that they’ve won by 20 points or more this season and as the clock winds down the Hawkeyes are now 16 and one on the season 5-0 in Big 10 play 13 wins in a row what an impressive 4 minutes in a hostile soldout crowd 15 made threes for

Iowa and then the 15 near 15,000 fans in a tennis treated to the 15th triple double of Caitlyn Clark’s career another gem for Caitlyn Clark we appreciate everybody watching tonight that’s another Hawkeye win we’ll send it right back to the studio in Stanford to wrap things

Up all right Kim or thank you so much welcome back everybody inside our Studios Aaliyah Megan Megan I’ll start with you I mean you’re sort of big takeaways from a very impressive 9671 win Iowa was able to establish pace of play and hold on to it for a majority of

The game the Hawkeyes outrebounded Purdue plus 16 and finally the balance
