Ok, I refrained from in-game posting today from the bar because I started early for this one. I had tears welling up in my eyes when the crowd hit th floor. Oh my what a damn game. So much freaking heart today. I love this team, have I said that before? Caitlin Clark might as well be Clark Kent when it comes to basketball, she is so good. However, I do believe miss Cotie is BACK!!!!!! So happy today
Feeling a little Toby Kieth right about now, sing along with me "I love this baaaaarrr!"

Everybody is somebody else's weirdo.
Ohio State athletic director Gene Smith came and apologized to both Clark and Iowa head coach Lisa Bluder afterward.
"I really appreciate that," Clark said. "And, you know, this is what comes with the territory. I'm sure they tried their best to do whatever they could, obviously it didn't work and that's disappointing. But just focus now on the game and ways we can get better."

Tara VanDerveer passes Mike Krzyzewski as all-time winningest DI college basketball coach
VanDerveer passed legendary Tennessee coach Pat Summitt in December 2020 to become the DI women's basketball all-time wins leader.

Tara VanDerveer passes Mike Krzyzewski as all-time winningest DI college basketball coach
One of Stanford head coach Tara VanDerveer’s favorite analogies is that good basketball teams are like an orchestra. Everyone keeps the beat alive while a different soloist shines each night.It was the conductor’s turn to stand in the spotlight again and take a bow, not only for No. 8 Stanford's 65-56 Pac-12 victory over Oregon State, but for a lifetime of success not yet seen in the sport. VanDerveer is now the all-time winningest coach in Division I college basketball history with 1,203 career victories after surpassing legendary Duke head coach Mike Krzyzewski’s record of 1,202.
"It means I’ve coached a lot of great players, have a great staff, worked at great universities," VanDerveer said on the broadcast. "I’m just so blessed and so thankful."
Just sayin':
1. Some of the younger people on Buckeye Planet probably don't remember; but 110 of those wins came when she was the women's basketball head coach at Ohio State (1980-1985).

Ohio State Buckeyes (Big Ten Conference) (1980–1985) |
Overall | B1G | standing | Postseason | |
| 1980–81 | Ohio State | 17–15 | 2–1 | 3rd | |
| 1981–82 | Ohio State | 20–7 | 3–0 | 1st | NCAA First Round |
| 1982–83 | Ohio State | 23–5 | 15–3 | T–1st | |
| 1983–84 | Ohio State | 22–7 | 17–1 | 1st | NCAA First Round |
| 1984–85 | Ohio State | 28–3 | 18–0 | 1st | NCAA Elite Eight |
| Ohio State: | 110–37 (.748) | 55–5 (.917) |
2. Two interesting things in Wikipedia about her move to Stanford:
By 1985, VanDerveer had developed Ohio State into a nationally ranked team, breaking into the Top 20 in 1984, and reaching number 7 in the final rankings of 1985. Their success in 1985 earned a two seed in the 1985 NCAA Division I women's basketball tournament. They made it to the Elite Eight, but lost by four points to eventual national champion Old Dominion. While Stanford would later become one of the nation's powerhouses in women's basketball, in 1985 it was coming off a 9–19 year following a 5–23 year, with only 300 fans a game. Despite this challenge, Andy Geiger convinced VanDerveer to come to Stanford to become the head coach. VanDerveer later recounted that her friends told her going to Stanford was a bad move, because Stanford was too "brainy" to be good in sports. She said, "My dad told me I was crazy to take this job. He said, 'You’ll be unemployed and coming home to live with us in three months'."

I remember going to some games in 1984-85. Didn't have the kind of crowds they draw today despite how often they won.
