Somebody might want to tell the Iowa State student section that this was not the move they thought it was.
Sports fans can be so polarizing. They rarely agree on one thing, but when they do, it can produce some of the most unique content, especially student sections. (These dedicated groups of fans are truly electric.) It’s part of what makes the environment at any game so good.
For example, when Caitlin Clark and the Iowa Hawkeyes traveled to Hilton Coliseum on Wednesday to take on the Iowa State Cyclones, the student section decided to tell Clark what they thought of her.
The Iowa State student section is chanting “Overrated!” when @CaitlinClark22 touches the ball. Not sure they realize what a bad idea that is historically for Clark’s opponents. 😆

But they forgot she isn’t new to this; she’s true to this. She’s been here before. In high school, fans also called Clark “overrated,” and she proceeded to drop 42 points.
They chanted overrated at Caitlin Clark..She responded with 42 points and the win 😈 @CaitlinClark22 pic.twitter.com/htFVikr0Dd

Wednesday night was no different. Clark walked out of the building with 35 points, the win and a new NCAA record. Cold-blooded.
