While Ohio State fans stormed the floor, Clark ended up running straight into a fan. The guard fell to the ground and appeared to be in pain as she exited the court.

For people that wondered why Caitlin Clark always has multiple cops around her when the game isn't going on-- it's to protect her from morons like that.

Caitlin was in a lot of pain leaving the court:

An Iowa spokesperson told The Messenger’s Jeff Goodman that Clark was not injured in the collision.

Clark finished the game with 45 points, which is her highest total of the season so far. She also had seven assists and three rebounds.
