(Iowa City) It’s a sold-out crowd for the Iowa women’s basketball game against Ohio State on Sunday, and the resale market is among the most expensive in women’s basketball history. According to TickPick, a non-general admission ticket is nearly $500.00.
The marquee matchup features #2 Ohio State and #6 Iowa. The Buckeyes defeated the Hawkeyes 100-92 in overtime on the first go-around on January 21 at Columbus.
Caitlin Clark led all scorers with 45 points, a season-high and one point off her career-high (46 points at Michigan). The senior also had seven assists, blocked a shot, and two steals.
The Hawkeyes held the lead for most of the second half, but Ohio State mounted a comeback to force the game into overtime with the score tied at 83.
The Buckeyes were led by Cotie McMahon, who finished with 33 points, including 13 in the fourth quarter.
Clark has scored 3,617 points in her career, putting her 50 away from Maravich’s record of 3,667, set during his time at LSU from 1967 to 1970. Clark is averaging 32.1 points per game this season, and if she maintains that pace, she will pass Maravich in Iowa’s regular-season finale against No. 2 Ohio State.
