Caitlin Clark returned to the court, leading the Indiana Fever to an iconic 108-44 victory against Brazil. A crowd of 14,998—many donning Hawkeyes apparel—descended on Carver-Hawkeye Arena, creating the loudest arena Clark’s Fever teammates had ever experienced. Fans leapt to their feet on every deep ball, chanting Clark’s name and snapping photos as the star’s logo-range bomb found nothing but net.
On May 4, 2025, during the Indiana Fever’s preseason exhibition against the Brazil national team at Carver-Hawkeye Arena, Caitlin Clark silenced any doubters by sinking a three-pointer from several feet behind her own No. 22 logo—a spot immortalized as the site of her NCAA scoring record.
Caitlin Clark’s Shot That Stunned Everyone
In the opening quarter, Clark surveyed the floor, dribbled past half-court, and calmly hoisted a three-pointer from well behind the distinctive No. 22 logo painted at midcourt—the very logo marking where she overtook the NCAA’s all-time women’s scoring lead.
Standing roughly 36 feet from the hoop, she let it fly, and as the ball swished through the net, the arena exploded into deafening cheers. The 36-foot shot not only galvanized a sell-out Iowa crowd into a frenzy but also underscored Clark’s limitless range and growing impact on women’s basketball at every level.
Clark’s audacity in attempting—and executing—such a long-distance shot harkened back to her college days, when she sank pull-up threes with remarkable regularity. Yet few expected her to take a live-game attempt from behind a logo typically used as a photo-op for visiting teams during warm-ups.
While the logo-range bomb became the night’s defining highlight, Clark’s overall showing was equally impressive. She finished with 16 points on 6-of-10 shooting, bookending the first quarter with pull-up threes that demonstrated her trademark quick release and precision. Beyond scoring, she orchestrated the Fever’s offense with five assists in just 19 minutes of play.
The Fever opened the contest with back-to-back triples from Clark and veteran guard Kelsey Mitchell within the first 45 seconds, establishing early momentum. Indiana sank 13 three-pointers across the first half, building a 70–24 advantage by intermission.
The team’s defensive intensity then limited Brazil to just 20 combined points over the final two periods. The Fever dominated the Brazil squad en route to a 108–44 victory.
The No. 22 logo at Carver-Hawkeye has become a pilgrimage site for players inspired by Clark’s collegiate feats, with visitors frequently attempting similar long-range shots in practice. Yet replicating that magic under game pressure remained largely theoretical—until Clark’s live-game attempt shattered any lingering doubts.
That logo marks the moment in January 2024 when Clark surpassed Kelsey Plum for the NCAA’s all-time women’s scoring record. Its presence on the floor reminds everyone that Clark isn’t just a showman; she’s a bona fide record-setter whose deep range rewrote the record books.
What’s Next for Clark and the Fever?
Indeed, average WNBA attendance climbed 48% last season, and sold-out games spiked by 242%—trends directly tied to Clark’s electrifying presence.
Moments like the logo shot create enduring viral memories, drawing casual fans into a deeper engagement with the league. As broadcast ratings climb and arenas fill, Clark’s willingness to push the boundaries of distance shooting serves as both a marketing boon and a testament to the evolving skill level in women’s basketball.
Fresh off this historic preseason performance, Clark and the Fever turn their attention to the regular WNBA season. With preseason wins now at 2–0, Indiana travels to face the Atlanta Dream on May 10 (3 p.m. ET) before opening the regular season against the Chicago Sky at Gainbridge Fieldhouse on May 17 (2 p.m. ET).
If this logo-range masterpiece is any indication, Caitlin Clark will continue to redefine what’s possible on the court—one buzzer-beater at a time.
