Caitlin Clark played at the Carver-Hawkeye arena for the last time as Iowa beat West Virginia Mountaineers 64-54 on Monday to advance to the Sweet 16 tip-off against Colorado on Friday.
Clark and the referees drew the ire of fans, as many claimed that the officials were working with the team to ensure the Hawkeyes' win. Iowa received 30 free throws, making 25, while the Mountaineers received just five.
West Virginia's shooting was poor, making 21-of-62 shots, including 9-of-34 from the 3-point line. Iowa was also not at its best, as it made 17-of-47 shots, with 5-of-22 from behind the arc.
