And the Hawkeyes had some fun with the announcement to Clark: a game of Wheel of Fortune.
At what looked to be the end of the team's film session in preparation for Friday night's Final Four game vs. No. 3 seed UConn, Hawkeyes coach Lisa Bluder did her best Vanna White impersonation and served as the game-show hostess.
