Caitlin Clark led Iowa to a dramatic 94–87 victory over LSU in the Elite Eight on Monday night, guiding the Hawkeyes into the Final Four with a historic performance against the program that defeated them in last year's national championship.

Despite the otherworldly 41-point, 12-assist double-double from the superstar senior, Clark's most memorable pass of the night didn't occur until after the final whistle.

While soaking in their victory against Angel Reese and the Tigers, Clark exited the team's huddle at center court with the game ball in her hand. She proceeded to locate her family in the crowd and drop a dime directly to her brother, who was sitting a few rows back.

Her family looked overjoyed about the gesture, and her mother could be seen hugging her brother, who wore a big grin on his face.

Clark set the all-time record for most assists in the history of the NCAA tournament, and although her pass to her brother won't show up on the stat sheet, the dime was still plenty meaningful as the 22-year-old heartwarmingly nodded to her most important and long-standing supporters.

Clark and the Hawkeyes will look to keep their run going when they take on Paige Bueckers and UConn in the Final Four on Friday evening.
