No one will get away with intentionally or unintentionally kicking Caitlin Clark without consequences.
Last night’s college basketball matchup between Indiana and Iowa delivered one of the season’s most talked-about moments, sparking debate among fans.
As Iowa’s Caitlin Clark and Indiana’s Mackenzie Holmes battled for possession of a loose ball, Holmes found herself sitting on the ball. In an attempt to regain her balance, she pushed off, inadvertently driving her foot into Clark’s side.

Opinions on the incident vary widely among fans. Some argue that the kick was intentional, while others see it as incidental contact as Holmes struggled to stay balanced atop the basketball. Amidst the heated discussion, one fan pointed out the physical nature of basketball and cautioned against demonizing young women athletes for playing a competitive game.
Others took a lighter approach, referencing wrestling legend Mick Foley and suggesting that anything short of being thrown off the Hell in a Cell isn’t considered a foul.
Despite differing viewpoints, Indiana emerged victorious with a stunning upset over No. 4-ranked Iowa, securing an 86-69 win.
