5 celebrities who attended the marquee matchup between Caitlin Clark’s Iowa and Ohio State ft. Travis Scott, Maya Moore, and others
Caitlin Clark mesmerized the nation once more Sunday in what is likely to be her last home regular season game at Carter-Hawkeye Arena. The No. 6 Iowa Hawkeyes also had the chance to exact revenge on the No. 2 Ohio State Buckeyes, who defeated them in a stunning overtime upset earlier in the season.
Clark's Hawkeyes came out on top this time, 93-83, with Clark scoring a whopping 35 points, with nine assists and six rebounds.
The game was the must-see sporting event in the United States over the weekend, as Clark broke yet another record by becoming the all-time NCAA scoring leader. LSU legend Pete Maravich previously held the record.
Several celebrities were in attendance at Carter-Hawkeye Arena on Sunday. Here are five of them.

A departure from the athlete-themed group of people we've been dealing with, Jake From State Farm is also a well-known quantity in sports due to his frequent appearances in TV ads.
