Caitlin Clark has insisted revenge was not a motivator ahead of Iowa's win over LSU on Monday, in a rematch of last year's national championship.
After the Tigers defeated Clark and Co. 102-85 to capture last year's title, the Iowa star produced a 41-point masterclass to advance her team to this year's Final Four - and claimed the last matchup between the squads was not on her team's mind.
'To be honest, no. I feel like we prepared for this game. We focus on Iowa, we do what Iowa does, and we'll come out on top. And that was kind of Coach Bluder's message,' Clark said after the win.
'It's not about last year. You worry too much about the past, you're going to get caught up in that. It's about being present, being where your feet are.
'Don't worry about being in the Final Four, be in this moment, be in the Elite 8, enjoy that and soak that in. That's what's going to allow you to win 40 minutes, and that's exactly what we did.
