Iowa announced Wednesday it will retire Caitlin Clark’s jersey Feb. 2 in a nationally televised matchup against USC.
Clark’s the third player in program history to receive the honor. The Indiana Fever star led the Hawkeyes to a pair of national championship game appearances in four seasons. Iowa hadn’t advanced past the Final Four prior to Clark’s arrival.
“I’m forever proud to be a Hawkeye and Iowa holds a special place in my heart that is bigger than just basketball,” Clark said in a statement. “It means the world to me to receive this honor and to celebrate it with my family, friends and alumni. It will be a great feeling to look up in the rafters and see my jersey alongside those that I’ve admired for so long.”
