Love the perspective shown by Lisa Bluder & Co. following last night's top-five win over Virginia Tech. And this from Caitlin Clark: "We're a team that'll shoot the ball better." More words via @Dargan_Southard from Charlotte. https://t.co/47ApkcTfEJ
My thoughts from All-ACC last night on @IowaWBB’s win over @HokiesWBB ⤵️ https://t.co/W1xaW49qq0
Iowa-Virginia Tech women's college basketball averaged 548,000 viewers on ESPN2, per an industry source. That's up against the NFL (9.56 million viewers) and Virginia-Louisville CFB (shade under 1.3M). Caitlin Clark is a massive draw. Watch out when the windows are better.
"This girl is the best in the world on a collegiate women's level. I don't care what anybody says." —@stephenasmith on Caitlin Clark https://t.co/xQk3iyemcq
We can talk about the half court shot all the want but this shot is more ridiculous @georgia_amoore https://t.co/V0CKrlUrJQ

I chose to skip watching the Panthers-Bears game live Thursday and instead went to see Iowa superstar Caitlin Clark in Charlotte. Very happy with that choice - Clark scored 44, showing once again her similarities to another superstar. For @theobserver: https://t.co/TnpzyvqZLd
What an event, what a game! #AllyTipoff Enjoyed watching @IowaWBB & @HokiesWBB put on a show in front of 15,000 fans 🔥 #WBB https://t.co/Ccin3xhQeb
Iowa’s win over #Hokies elevates women’s college 🏀 and affirms Caitlin Clark’s brilliance. “She’s literally been gifted by every god you can imagine.” The column from Charlotte. ⬇️ https://t.co/P7gRltXYuy
Tonight was really cool in Charlotte. No. 8 Virginia Tech fell just short to No. 3 Iowa but they played a hell of game in front of 15,000+. So many excited little girls like these 2. It was so fun to watch it through their eyes. Let’s go women’s sports. Way to go @CLTSports. https://t.co/lu4NyNqdAO

CAITLIN CLARK CAME TO HOOP 😤 @CaitlinClark22 | @IowaWBB https://t.co/R2cSBXRt6F
Very few players I’ve enjoyed watching in hoops more over the last several years than Caitlin Clark. She can score every way possible, handles the ball like it’s part of either hand and sees the entire court. When I know @IowaWBB is playing, I make it a point to watch.
Watched the @IowaWBB vs @HokiesWBB in a match of 2 top 10 teams in Charlotte in front of 16, 000. I’m in AWE of the multi talented @CaitlinClark22 who was superb in leading Iowa to a 80 -76 W .All she did was score 44- have 8 reb . & 6 assists .@debbieantonelli was terrific… https://t.co/u0QzFBc1V7

FINAL: #3 Iowa 80, #5 Virginia Tech 76 --Clark 44 pts (13-31 FG, 13-17 FT), 8 rebs, 6 asts --Affolter 2 pts, 14 rebs --Stuelke 12 pts, 5 fouls, 17 mins --Feuerbach 8 pts (all in 3rd Q) --Martin 10 pts (4-9 FG) --Amoore (VT) 31 pts, 7-15 from 3 Terrific win for @IowaWBB.
Caitlin Clark setting brush screens and popping for 3 is fun. https://t.co/zLnQMhqXQS
Iowa vs. Virginia Tech is the ideal early-season matchup, a team we all know vs. a team that was startlingly good last year but we aren’t as knowledgeable about or certain of this season because of all the departures.
15,196 the attendance tonight for #Hokies and Iowa. They're getting their $$$'s worth.
announced attendance: 15,196.
Official attendance here: 15,196
Caitlin Clark is just different.
Liz Kitley FINALLY getting some baskets to fall. Hokies trail 59-54 w/ 8:32 left in the game. Clark up to 32 points.
Caitlin Clark is STRONG, goodness.

Georgia Amoore from BEYOND HALF COURT 🤯 (via @accwbb) https://t.co/h9Jmd5jXwO
That is a great stat per @bethmowins and @debbieantonelli on the broadcast: This Iowa-Virginia Tech game has generated roughly $10 million for the Charlotte area. That's right - an early November game with two teams that aren't from North Carolina. Incredible.
Amoore and Clark with 18 each. Iowa leads #Hokies 33-32 at half despite missing 14 of 15 attempts beyond the arc.
Georgia Amoore might be the most *electric* player in all of college basketball right now. That is all.
Georgia Amoore from WAYYYYY downtown 🎯 The first quarter comes to a close with a bang in this top-10 matchup. 🎥 @SportsCenter | @HokiesWBB https://t.co/O5U67L6An8
GEORGIA AMOORE FROM HALF COURT AT THE BUZZER 🚨 https://t.co/PG67wlT6ar
What a 1st quarter @HokiesWBB 👀 We love to see it @georgia_amoore 👏👏 @kellygramlich (wait for it 😂😂) https://t.co/A8r8OWx4hX
Caitlin Clark has been cold from long range so far, but Virginia Tech’s Georgia Amoore just did this: https://t.co/rrhySlw8TU

GEORGIA AMOORE FROM HALF COURT 🚨 https://t.co/mvMbIkVHqh
Georgia Amoore just took over the second half of that first quarter. This arena exploded when she hit that shot!
Are you not entertained?! Amoore from midcourt at the first-quarter horn. #Hokies lead Iowa 18-15.
Georgia Amoore is COOKIN
Here’s how this game together. Charlotte went all-out to land Iowa and Virginia Tech. https://t.co/5UgsFPTvGi
Nice to see all these people at Spectrum Center watching women’s basketball. Caitlin Clark (with ball here) has 3p, 2a in first 5 minutes. https://t.co/G9UIWBhcEh
This atmosphere is ELECTRIC. Iowa fans can TRAVEL. I see so many grown men in Clark jerseys/shirseys, it's pretty cool. And Charlotte is not exactly Hokie Nation but you wouldn't know it by the crowd. Just incredible scenes.
Caitlin Clark did almost everything last year: She scored, rebounded, dropped dimes and brought massive attention to the women’s game. Now she’s back—and looking for that thing she’s missing: a title, @emmabaccellieri writes https://t.co/AGIeKnuPba
Big game in Charlotte, y'all. #ncaaW https://t.co/UlRbeNyoN2
They have sold about 15,000 tickets for the Iowa/Va Tech women’s hoops game in Charlotte today. Game organizers say it will be the largest regular-season crowd ever for a women’s college game in NC. And of course, not coincidentally, Caitlin Clark is here. https://t.co/vnRNqiUc6g
Here for Iowa/Virginia Tech. Here and EXCITED. https://t.co/oRyw9bf6ZU
I’m told that more than 15,000 tickets have been sold for tonight’s @Ally Tip-off between Virginia Tech and Iowa in Charlotte. #ncaaW
This point guard matchup tonight 🔥 Caitlin Clark: 29.6 PPG vs AP Top-10 teams in her career, highest career PPG vs Top 10 teams in DI over the last 25 seasons Georgia Amoore: 22.3 PPG + 38 threes in eight ACC & NCAA tournament games combined last season 8 PM on ESPN2 🍿 https://t.co/XL3gyFCkgu
