Iowa college basketball star Caitlin Clark was captured on camera hugging actor Jason Sudeikis after a victory against LSU. Sudeikis, known for his roles in “Ted Lasso” and Saturday Night Live, was in the stands to witness Clark’s 41-point performance in the Elite 8. The viral video highlighted Sudeikis wearing a hoodie that read, “Everyone watches women’s sports.”
The embrace between Clark and Sudeikis has brought attention to the growing viewership of women’s college basketball, with Fox Sports analyst Michael Mulvihill noting a significant increase in audience numbers this season. Sudeikis’ support for women’s sports was further demonstrated as he joined Iowa in their trophy celebration, mimicking Clark’s signature “You can’t see me” gesture.
Other celebrities, including Travis Scott and Shaquille O’Neal, have attended Iowa games this season to watch Clark play. O’Neal expressed his admiration for the competitiveness and talent in women’s basketball, stating that the women players are outperforming their male counterparts.
Sudeikis’ presence at the game, along with the support from other celebrities, is a testament to the rising popularity and excitement surrounding women’s college basketball. Clark’s performance on the court continues to attract a diverse and enthusiastic audience, further solidifying her status as a generational talent in the sport.
