It could have been a blowout, but Team Brazil wasn’t mad after the game. One could tell that they enjoyed the crowd and interacted with players while showing their own skill. Clark and others took pictures and talked to the players after the game.
After the game, Clark was asked about the crowd pouring out into the arena to see her play in her old stomping grounds.
“I definitely give the fans something to cheer about. That’s my goal,” Clark said pr. Hawkcentral. “Get them involved. Get them out loud. Because, I told my teammates, it’s going to be the highest arena you’ve ever played in. So I have to make a few shots and be able to get them on their feet.”
Clark looked just as she did for Hawkeyes and pulled up the logo for a deep three-point that had the audience roaring. She ended with 14 points in just over 18 minutes of play, her first of the 2025 season as she sat out against Washington Mystics in the first forth of the fever.
