$3.1 million NIL-valued Caitlin Clark's alleged NSFW scream leads to frustrated reaction from dad during West Virginia matchup
During the final moments of the third quarter against West Virginia, Iowa star Caitlin Clark made a tough basket while being fouled, resulting in an and-one play.
A video posted on X (formerly Twitter) by user CJB showed Clark allegedly mouthing an expletive. The video quickly cut to her father, Brent Clark, who had a frustrated expression on his face. He also seemed annoyed that the person standing behind him tapped him on his right shoulder while holding his left shoulder with the other hand, as if to try and calm him down.
After a slow start, Iowa regained momentum in the third quarter, outscoring West Virginia 22-14 and maintaining its lead going into the fourth quarter.
The fourth quarter was a slugfest, resulting in a 14-14 tie. But Iowa made a final push in the closing moments, securing a 64-54 victory and keeping its NCAA Tournament hopes alive.
Caitlin Clark, who has an NIL valuation of $3.1 million per On3, led the charge with 32 points, eight rebounds, and three assists.

Caitlin Clark`s dad and his sideline reactions
This isn`t the first time Brent Clark has been seen quite animated on the sideline watching the Hawkeyes play.
During Iowa`s first-round matchup against Holy Cross, Caitlin Clark's dad was caught on video seemingly telling his daughter to stop complaining about calls and just play on. This incident took place while the Hawkeyes were leading 48-29 with 50.3 seconds left in the third quarter.
As of now, Clark and Iowa are through to the Sweet 16. The NCAA's all-time leading scorer is one step closer to adding another gem to her already bejeweled crown. Clark and co. are set to face the Colorado Buffaloes in the next round of 2024 March Madness.
