The Iowa star has taken the basketball world by storm, but CU has beaten several high-profile teams this year.
The Buffaloes will match up against the University of Iowa and superstar Caitlin Clark, who is all but a lock to be the number one pick in the WNBA draft. Although they lost 87-77 to Iowa last year in CU's first Sweet Sixteen appearance in two decades, the Buffaloes aren't intimidated by the rematch or a star who could make the Saturday, March 30, matchup the highest-viewed game of the women’s NCAA Basketball Championship thus far.
“We're just happy to be playing and happy to have our backs against the wall,” fifth-year senior Quay Miller said. “We’re happy to be the underdogs in these types of matchups, because we want to be the team that people count out.” “A lot of people outside of our locker room will talk about Caitlin and what that would look like and what that would mean. We will not be talking about that,” Payne added. “We will talk about coverages, the plan, schemes, discipline, execution. …Really, the opponent doesn't play a role as far as our verbiage and the things that we're focused on.”
Payne said Sherrod is like one of her daughters; the coach trusts Sherrod and Wetta to lead when they're on the court.
