Two collegiate basketball alums out of Iowa turned Indiana hoopers, Caitlin Clark and Tyrese Haliburton, were both in attendance for the Wisconsin Badgers' 83-74 victory over the Butler Bulldogs on Saturday.
The game took place at Gainbridge Fieldhouse where both the NBA's Indiana Pacers and the WNBA's Indiana Fever call home.
The No. 20 ranked Badgers entered Saturday's road game on a three-game losing streak, clearly entering Indianapolis with vengeance as they took a 47-33 lead entering halftime.
Saturday was not the first time that the two stars have attended a Butler game together, previously having seen them hit the court on Nov. 11 as they took a 85-65 victory over Western Michigan.
Iowa Hawkeyes alum Clark made waves in her rookie WNBA season with the Fever, averaging 19.2 points, 5.7 rebounds and 8.4 assists per game while shooting 41.7 percent from the field and 34.4 percent from the three-point line.
On top of her groundbreaking rookie season with the Fever, Clark was named TIME'S 2024 Athlete of the Year on Tuesday.
Clark was also present for the Pacers' 114-110 victory over the New Orleans Pelicans, where Haliburton hit nine three-pointers and scored 34 points.
Iowa State Cyclones alum Haliburton is a two-time All-Star in his fifth year, averaging 18.0 points, 3.3 rebounds, and 8.5 assists while shooting 42.6 percent from the field.
