The thrilling performance took place in front of a sellout crowd, an uncommon sight for Rutgers, with fans, many of whom were dressed in Clark's jerseys, anticipating the game for hours. Caitlin expressed gratitude for the overwhelming response, particularly from young fans, saying:

"The crowd was incredible. There were a lot of little girls, most I’ve seen in a long time. We don’t get to come out to the east coast much. It’s really special the cheer I got when I ran off the court. Some moments you’re never going to forget."

From remarkable deep 3-pointers to awe-inspiring 30-foot bounce passes, Clark, who's the reigning AP Player of the Year, drew thunderous cheers with every touch of the ball.

Clark will earn approximately $777,000 in NIL money this year, according to 247Sports.
