Caitlin Clark's First NCAA Game | Northern Iowa at Iowa | Big Ten Women's Basketball | 11/25/2020 

What one player can do to the ladies game 4 years later and pack every arena she plays is testimate to her work ethic and commitment.

PA announcer is terrible

The newbie fans don't realize Caitlin had to struggle to get to where she is today. She earned everything, she was only 1-9 vs the Top 25 as a freshman.

Caitlin's passes leading to a basket are as awesome as her shooting. Either way they score.

Loved seeing this 4 years later.

is that announcer back at the mcdonalds drive thru?

Watching a covid game with no spectators compared to sold out stadium definitely not imaginable...Passing reception needed work with all players it was good to see Gabby Marshall hitting 3 pt shots...Monica Czinano doing great down under in the paint ...Kate Martin showed her experience..

Love the PA announcing from Chris Farley

In her first game for the team she leads in scoring with 27 points. A lot of incoming freshman with really impressive high school statistics, who win accolades as Miss Illinois or whatever state they came from, don't get to start in the very first game and then score 27 points. It's hard to make the transition to college, even for talented high school players. There are a only few freshman who can rise to the top immediately like this, start games and get all those minutes and perform brilliantly. Clearly Lisa Bluder saw that Caitlin Clark was one of those freshman before the season started and had faith that Caitlin would live up to the hype. And boy, did she ever.

This is a completely different person. Amazing how much she's changed in just a short time. And to think she had no idea at the time that she was going to be a superstar.

Pls post also the game between michigan and Iowa, where cc scores 25pts on the 4th quarter

I love the seriousness in her eyes from the start. She locks so focused. Thanks for showing this. Who would have thought a star would be born?

Wish the Anouncer would not scream so damn loud.

Folks forget that covid cancelled like 20 games for Iowa, Clark and many other teams. Imagine if Clark had those back to add to the record. It would put it way out of reach .

This announcer is working my nerves. Chat to much!

Why is the guy talking so loud?

Dang. Look at how empty the stands were back then when Clark started! SHES MADE A HUGE IMPACT ON WOMENS BASKETBALL

A treat to see this. A confidant and not timid Marshall, a more healthy Goodman prior to her knee injury and seeing Lauren Jansen that would transfer to Creighton for their magical run and knock us out if the ncaa on our own home court in a couple years time. I forgot how bad Iowa's defense was. This game was prior to the sports psychologist where many on this team were brutally honest and Kate martin saying she has been on better teams with more team chemistry , Clark says g she can't do it and balling in the interview. Hard to watch but can be found online. The team didn't loose much after that meeting. Folks often forget how hard it was to build up and integrate a freshman talent like Clark into that line up. It doesn't happen overnight. This same starting 5 played well over 90 games together. Folks forget how hard this team building was when asking if Clark will come back next year. Not to rebuild with all her friends from this lineup gone next year.

Her first point was a free throw. Cool to see

Announcer needs to take a chill pill

This was going to be just like any year at any school, score some points, close games, maybe make it to NCAA, but had no idea that this would be the start of the phenomenon known as Caitlin Clark

22 Rules WNBA , Caitlin France with you ,)

Tough for her as a freshman. Convincing good older girls to pass you the ball. Even though you can score every time you it.

I watch this and it reminds me how absolutely awful the covid shutdowns were and how that stupid disease decimated the human population and the human psyche. Caitlin is an absolute beast with a basketball. Someone taught her the only real rule of basketball....make the ball go into the hole no matter what it takes or how it looks.

Great to see the star being born! Also pathetic to see what the government made society do for a freaking cold.

the stands are almost empty. In later years, Caitlin Clark's star power filled those stands.

Geeeez………can that announcer be anymore annoying

Gabby is so CUTE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I just LOVE her !!!!

Wow, no score board, no broadcasters, no fans (I know it’s during COVID), no time clock. Same trumpet like announcer! Lol😂 They soon found out how amazing she is!🎉🎉🎉 Almost like this is HS basketball. But I honestly think it was good to get a year where they developed core skills and fundamentals and built such a strong teammate base with each other before a big crowd.

Ok, the PA announcer needs to read the arena. There's no crowd noise. None. There isn't a pep band to shout over. So the over-the-top "BASKET BY CAITLIN CLAAAARRKK"!!! is wildly out of place and extremely awkward. I hope someone went over to him and said "Dude... c'mon."

Anyone who loves to see great college basketball should tune in to women's NCAA basketball! Best I've seen since 1973!

Too bad we can't hear the announcer....🙉

I dont miss the automated cheering. 😂 shes amazing to see in person.

Hardly anyone there to watch snd now you can't get in.

Doesn’t even look like a hundred people, now you can’t get a ticket.

Announcer literally screaming to an empty arena.

Teamwise also shows what a difference Hannah S. has made. Was this Gabbie M.'s first NCAA game? She's been totally underrated IMO.

Why are you screaming into the mic? You don't have to shout. I have a headache after 2 minutes.

white queen W

Thus begins one of the great scoring streaks in sports history

An historic moment 1:16

Marshall looked pretty good as the point as a freshman, but it looks like they went to a different offense to fit Clark. That’s y marshall became a shooting guard but gabby had very good dribbling ability good shooting and defense

Wow look how theres no one in the stands basically. 3 years later the place is totally different.

It's so funny how one person can change Iowa basketball. Just watching her first game at Iowa with no one in the stands to now selling out her home court and every other courts when Iowa is playing.

Because COVID-19 is part the reason not alot people there to watch the game.

Either it was covid or no body cared about watching girls basketball by looking at the stands.

camera movement is making me sick. Back up and get more floor, and less motion.

oh would you look at that gabbie marshall driving to the basket

Guarded by girls...not really much of a challenge

Well turning up the volume was a mistake

She scored her first collegiate point with a free throw and she broke "Pistol Pete's" record with a free throw.

Nobody in the stands!!! My how things have changed!!!!

Who the f?#% chose that thumbnail, lmao no respect

This game during covid so no fans allowed

Empty arena, 4 yrs later it's a full house.

Never has there been a more annoying announcer

They looked like the WNBA,.

wow that announcer is annoying.

Poor video no score at bottom.

They’re so bad lol.

that announcer...

OMG, look at the size of the crowd! Very different her senior year! Nowadays, I bet every team feels like their playing in the NCAA tournament when they play at Iowa!

It's a man baby!

Sorry. I tuned in to watch Caitlyns first game but girls basketball is still girsls basketball and i got bored and quit.

Was that intentional at 45:07 ? 😅Sounded like that half-court “assist” grazed the rim. It all worked out though 😊

They knew her greatest from the beginning. Just look at the size of the crowd.

The announcer is annoying. No need to scream, there’s no one there watching.

Her skill is impressive. Her three pointers remind me of the great Larry Byrd. Love to see an NBA team take a chance with her

COVID was pretty strange for sports...this is weird to watch.

Wow. Imagine being there and 10,000 others saying they were LOL

empty stands... 4 years later... sell-out.

Antone else feel a little awkward with the announcers enthusiasm to this packed house😅?

Early signs of a great player. Empty arena. Loud announcer.

It is interesting. You can see a lot of what UNI does in this game Iowa adopts and beats people with.

I much prefer the zoomed out camera angle. Too much close up

Gotta love thoughs masks 🤦🥱🤣🤣🤣

Back in the day of Covid madness and tieraney.

Defense here is 10x better than the NBA.

3:13......."alternating WHAT?"

imagine if iowa had given jensen more playing time and she was still on iowa

The announcer is so excited!

The stocky blonde woman (#25) is still playing alongside her. It's amazing that there are maybe three people in that arena.

Certified Hood Classic

It's like 9 people there

lol at big bertha #25

That little fella can play !

Boiler up

Can't believe how empty Carver Hawkeye arena is compared to today! I always enjoyed watching the girls play when I was in high school. Was always very proud of St. Alberts Girls high school basketball teams way back then.

first 3 29:20 ?

Remember when viewing this video, this was the height of the CoViD nonsense. Carver was CAVERNOUS-OUS-Ous-ous-oouusss...

Obnoxious p. a. announcer enough for me to not attend any games. They don't care if they ruin your fun as long as they can hear themselves annoy you. What a bum

Look at the difference in attendance.. There's nobody at those games.

This is old nobody is in the stands

No one in the stands

That announcer was horrible. Oh my God! Are you kidding me?🤮🤮🤮🤢🤢🤢👎🏼👎🏼
