Caitlin Clark's two worlds collided on Sunday when the Indiana Fever traveled to Iowa to take on the Brazilian national team in a preseason game. As expected, the Fever had a comfortable afternoon, and cruised to a 108-44 win in front of a sold-out crowd.

A day that started with Caitlin Clark’s triumphant return to Carver-Hawkeye Arena ended with the WNBA basking in the spotlight. No Iowa athlete in the last 80 years can match Clark’s impact, and that was on full display from the parking lot tailgates four hours before tipoff to the 117-decibel explosion when she connected on her first 3-pointer Sunday afternoon.

The WNBA superstar returned to her alma mater Sunday along with the Fever for a preseason game, and Clark was welcomed back with thunderous applause and cheers from the Hawkeyes faithful.
