    Kelsey Mitchell jokingly implied she channelled Caitlin Clark’s college days with her clutch 3 vs. the Liberty

    The more time has passed, the more it seems Caitlin Clark’s Indiana Fever teammates are wholeheartedly embracing her rookie fame. Forward Aliyah Boston gassing Clark up after making history is just one great example when Clark is also trading deep 3-pointers with established WNBA stars like Sabrina Ionescu.

    Fever point guard Kelsey Mitchell is the latest to feed into the Clark frenzy.

    After Mitchell nailed a clutch, dagger 3-pointer against the New York Liberty to help the Fever notch an upset win, she could’ve simply played it coy and said making plays like that is just part of her job.

    Instead, Mitchell joked about how she felt like she made the shot in front of a raucous Iowa Hawkeye crowd — a clear nod to Clark’s college days:

    I have to imagine that many Fever players “feel like Hawkeyes” these days whenever they make a big play.
