Charlotte, North Carolina - Iowa basketball star Caitlin Clark put on a show against No. 8 Virginia Tech, catching the attention of one of the most acclaimed athletes in the sport.

Clark, the reigning winner of every major national Player of the Year award, closed the night against Hokies with a massive 40-point triple-double in the Hawkeyes' 80-76 win at the Ally Tipoff in Charlotte.

The history maker swished 44 points, eight rebounds, and six assists, narrowly mirroring her historic Elite Eight performance that saw 41 points, ten rebounds, and 12 assists.

Among the many watching her legendary performance on Thursday night was none other than NBA Hall of Famer Dwayne Wade, who didn't hold back from tipping his hat to the young hooper.

"I'm drinking some Wade Rose Wine and watching women's college hoops! Caitlin Clark is simply good at basketball! That's all…" he tweeted.

Like Wade, other fans took to the internet raving over Clark with their own big reactions to her dominant performance.

"Caitlin Clark would cook Killian Hayes so bad they’d have to bring back woman's suffrage," one fan sarcastically said.

Clark has triumphed in every possible individual accolade in college basketball, both at the conference and national tiers, during the past two seasons.

The only remaining feat for her to achieve is securing a national championship, a goal that the Hawkeyes almost achieved reaching the national championship game last season.

With a flawless 2-0 start to the current season, Iowa is poised for a showdown against Northern Iowa on Sunday, followed by a highly anticipated matchup against Kansas State.

Iowa's showdown against Northern Iowa is set for 3:30 PM ET on Sunday.
