Caitlin Clark and Zach Edey garnered attention after a photo of them together circulated widely.
Both former college stars experienced disappointing endings to their March Madness journeys, with Clark’s Iowa Hawkeyes falling to the South Carolina Gamecocks in the women’s national championship game, and Edey’s Purdue Boilermakers losing to the UConn Huskies.
However, despite their teams’ losses, they were both honored as Wooden Award winners, recognizing them as the best men’s and women’s college basketball players of the season.
Their photo at an awards show captured their dominance in college basketball, with both players being two-time NPOY winners and record-setters in their own right.
Edey averaged 25 points and 12 rebounds per game, leading Purdue to the final, while Clark boasted impressive stats of 31.6 points, 8.9 assists, and 7.4 rebounds per game, becoming the highest-ever scorer in college basketball.
The viral photo prompted mixed reactions from fans, with some acknowledging their achievements despite the losses, while others focused on the outcome of their respective title games.

Caitlin Clark and Zach Edey share the same destination: to The Pros
Both Caitlin Clark and Zach Edey are turning pro this year. Clark is expected to go No. 1 overall in the WNBA Draft on Monday after an amazing four years in college.
Edey is projected to be a late first-round or early second-round pick when the NBA Draft rolls around in June. So perhaps he’ll get to have a go at Draymond Green for claiming he quit on Purdue in Monday’s final.
