Associated Press  

ESTERO, Fla. — They start showing up an hour or more before games. “The way people have on our jerseys, the way people have on Iowa clothes, it’s just not the same for every other program,” Clark said. And when it was over, Mastadons coach Maria Marchesano acknowledged “it’s cool to be part of a game like this.” “You know, she sees things on the court before it ever happens,” Marchesano said. Clark found herself in a firestorm last season when she waved her hand in front of her face — a “I don’t see you” gesture — during Iowa’s win over Louisville in the NCAA Tournament. “Usually I know it’s going in when it comes off my hand,” Clark said, “and usually I know when it’s not going in when it comes off my hand.” Some people like Clark.
