NBA superstar Nikola Jokic has become the epitome of triple-doubles in the past few seasons. Whenever a player puts up great numbers, they are compared to the Denver Nuggets superstar. After winning two straight NBA MVP awards and now gunning for a third straight, this should not come as a surprise. Moreover, college basketball star Caitlin Clark put up Jokic-like numbers as she led the Iowa Hawkeyes to a massive win in the Elite Eight.

The Hawkeyes beat the Louisville Cardinals 97-83 to reach the Final Four. Caitlin’s massive performance was the talk of the town after the win. Fans heaped praise on the 21-year-old star.

It looks like her appearance helped the Hawks. Caitlin Clark put a basketball clinic in her latest outing on one of the biggest stages of college basketball. She scored 41 points, grabbed 10 rebounds, and set her teammates up with 12 assists. It was the first 40-point triple-double in NCAA history.
