“Obviously breaking the Big Ten record is something that’s really hard to do,” she said of the record, via ESPN. “These games are never guaranteed. You can come here and just play one game, and it can be over. I’m really grateful to play the maximum number of games every season I’ve had of this tournament. That is probably the only reason I have this record.”
Clark is playing in her final Big Ten Tournament. She will enter the WNBA Draft after the NCAA Women’s Basketball Tournament is over.
Iowa was the national runner-up last season after losing in the championship to LSU.
