We told you back on Selection Sunday that West Virginia women’s hoops head coach Mark Kellogg might regret what he said.
Specifically, he told the Mountaineers this: “Let’s win one and send Caitlin Clark packing.”
Sure, it was a motivational move, and frankly … it almost paid off! Iowa barely survived the second round game at home, ultimately winning the March Madness contest 64-54.
As you can see below, Kellogg walked it back a bit, talking about how it wasn’t trash talk: “There was some surprise in the room … with our seed is where it started.”
So it was just a motivational tactic. But no one forgot the initial trash talk:
The only thing Caitlin Clark and the Iowa Hawkeyes are packing for is a trip to the Sweet 16 😎

Iowa will take on West Virginia in the second round of the NCAA Tournament. Once getting to Iowa City, West Virginia HC Mark Kellogg addressed his 'I told them, win one and let’s send Caitlin Clark packing' comment. pic.twitter.com/BNyWzc9AKH

Maybe when he said “send Caitlin Clark packing” the WVU coach meant to Albany? pic.twitter.com/rCOqFKyh7q
