Iowa basketball star Caitlin Clark is set to return to campus as a member of the Indiana Fever. The WNBA team will host Brazil in a preseason bout before kicking off the 2025 campaign.
Brazilian players attempted to replicate Clark’s impressive range in a viral TikTok challenge now circulating social media. They failed miserably in those efforts.
Clark is the greatest women’s college basketball player of all-time. She set multiple scoring records across her four seasons in Iowa City, thanks largely to her three-point success.
Clark owns the record for most makes from beyond the arc in NCAA history. The two-time national player of the year’s deadly range is unlike anything we’ve ever seen at the college level.
To honor their star guard, the Hawkeyes put a Caitlin Clark logo on the court from her patented spot on the floor. Brazil’s basketball players tried to replicate success from that logo in a viral video.

Only two players succeeded in hitting those deep threes after numerous attempts. It turned out to be much more difficult than Clark made it look!
Droves of fans welcome Caitlin Clark back to Iowa.

Clark was named Rookie of the Year in 2024 after averaging 19.2 points per game to go along with 8.4 assists. She’s now looking to follow that debut up by bringing a title to Indiana.
Fans will get their first glimpse of Caitlin Clark on Sunday. Expect a packed house in Iowa City for the exhibition matchup.
