The Creighton Jays are advancing to the Sweet Sixteen after a stunning upset against the Caitlin Clark-led Iowa Hawkeyes. Iowa entered the game as massive favorites for the game but failed to hold on after a late 3-pointer from Lauren Jensen sealed the win for Creighton. The best part about the upset victory? Jensen formerly played for the Hawkeyes but actually transferred to Creighton. She exacted some sweet revenge on Sunday with her game-winning 3.

The Jays absolutely shut down Clark in the win, holding the superstar to just 15 points on 4-for-19 shooting from the field, including 3-of-10 from deep. The usually dominant scorer was ineffective from the field, with defenders frequently getting help in the form of a double team. The frequent double-teaming of Clark led to a breakout performance from forward Monika Czinano, who led the game with 27 points, but that wasn't enough to overcome Creighton.
