BIG TEN CHAMPS: Caitlin Clark and Iowa win B1G Tourney + Fall Out of the Men Losing to Illinois

Eliot, Adam and Ross sit down and talk how Caitlin Clark and Iowa defeated Nebraska to win their third-straight Big Ten Tournament. Caitlin's ridiculous shot-making abilities, Alexis Markowski giving the Hawkeyes fits, and Iowa taking all the punches, but finding a way to win.
The men fell to Illinois after starting Sunday's game shooting 1-14 from the field. With the loss, it's going to be awfully tough for Fran McCaffery and his team to get into the NCAA Tournament. Why the game went so awry, Brock Harding's phenomenal (but limited) minutes), how many games they have to win to make a strong argument for the NCAA tournament and more.
