Jada Gyamfi asks Caitlin Clark a favor as Hawkeyes legend’s Iowa comeback attracts more than 15,000 people

Caitlin Clark is coming back to where it all started. On May 4, the Iowa alum and the Indiana Fever will be at Carver-Hawkeye Arena to face the Brazilian national team. The Hawkeyes' home court can host over 15,000 fans but tickets to the game sold out in minutes.

Clark's former teammate and current Hawkeyes forward Jada Gyamfi had a favor to ask of the WNBA star in the comment section of Iowa's Instagram post on Thursday about the event.

"@caitlinclark22 can you get me a ticket???," Gyamfi commented.

The Hawkeyes were Big Ten Conference tournament champions in both seasons Clark and Gyamfi played together and also served as the NCAA Tournament runner-ups each of those two years. Unfortunately, they didn't win a title together. Despite being one of the most decorated college women's basketball players of all time, Clark left Iowa without a national championship.
