Clark notched 15 assists in the Hawkeyes' 89-68 win over Colorado, helping facilitate a team effort that saw all five of the team's starters reach double-digit points. Clark scored 29 points on 13-for-22 shooting, but her passing was what stood out from the remarkable performance.

Of those 15 assists, 11 of them led to layups for Iowa. Three of them set up three-point baskets, meaning that Clark's shooting and passing accounted for 62 points. She's very dangerous when she shoots the ball, but Saturday, she made Colorado's defense pay even more when they overplayed.

Now the high-powered Iowa offense will get its biggest challenge in the regional final against defending champion LSU, which beat UCLA earlier in the day. LSU defeated Clark and the Hawkeyes last year in the final.

Iowa-LSU should be a hot ticket as well. Currently, it'll cost over $170 on StubHub to see the game Monday night. In a year where women's basketball is setting attendance records, the Albany regional will have one of the most anticipated games in years.

Clark — and the Lady Tigers— will be ready.
