For myriad reasons, Caitlin Clark is the single-most popular WNBA rookie in recent memory, and her sheer star power has driven a divide within some basketball fans and players debating whether the attention towards her is a little too much. This week, major NBA figures like LeBron James and Charles Barkley have taken up for Clark. James believes there’s a group of “haters” who don’t like the amount of attention Clark is getting as she starts her professional journey.

However, runners were stranded shortly thereafter. The Fighting Illini added another in the top of the sixth with a sacrifice fly from Coltin Quagliano. However, the Hawk...

Iowa head coach Rick Heller wanted Cade Obermueller to settle in and not get rattled after giving up a run in the fourth inning. Illinois had a bases loaded opportunity and Obermueller only walked in a run and nothing more. NBut in an elimination game in the Big Ten Tournament, every pitch counts offensively and defensively. Heller said as long as his starting pitcher remained composed, they’d have a chance. “Well, he needs to focus on the things he can control,” Heller said on the BTN broadcast during the top of the fifth inning. “He let some edge pitches that he didn’t get affect the last in...

Brody Brecht threw pretty well despite an Iowa loss to Michigan in 10 innings Wednesday.

It was good to see, considering Brecht received a lot of bananas from his teammates in the dugout. No, seriously. Brecht talked about his outing against the Wolverines but was able to even do some squats while being weighed down by fruit. “I felt pretty good,” Brecht said during Thursday’s broadcast on BTN. “I thought I had good control on all three pi...
