Caitlin Clark is no doubt one of the greatest college basketball players to play the game.

But unlike many other stars who came before her, she doesn't have a national title under her belt.

The two-time Naismith Player of the Year and NCAA basketball all-time leading scorer will end her college career being 0-2 in national championship games.

As she closes this chapter in her college career, Caitlin Clark is gearing up for the WNBA where she's a top contender for the No. 1 pick with the Indiana Fever.

Adding to the excitement, she's also set to compete for a spot on Team USA's roster for the Paris 2024 Olympics this summer.

With her recent inclusion in Team USA's roster, fans are eagerly anticipating the chance to see Clark shine on the Olympic stage in Paris!
