Caitlin Clark is ridiculous.

Driving the news: The National Player of the Year favorite helped turn Target Center into a sea of Hawkeye fans on Sunday, with a record-breaking 9,500 people in the stands.

• And the Dowling graduate didn't disappoint. With 30 points, 17 assists and 10 rebounds, Clark led Iowa over Ohio State, 105-72, to win its second straight Big Ten Tournament title, writes Axios Sports' Kendall Baker.

Why it matters: It was the 10th triple-double of Clark's career, the third-most in Division I history among both men and women.

• She's the only player over the last 20 seasons (man or woman) with at least 25 points, 15 assists and 10 rebounds in a game, per ESPN. And she's now done it twice.

By the numbers: Eye-popping stat lines have become routine for Clark, who's been filling up box scores with shocking consistency since arriving at Iowa.

• Freshman: 26.6 pts, 5.9 reb, 7.0 ast
• Sophomore: 27.0 pts, 8.0 reb, 8.0 ast
• Junior: 27.0 pts, 7.5 reb, 8.3 ast

The big picture: Women's college basketball has had its fair share of superstars, but few — if any — have transcended the sport like Clark does.

• Her Steph Curry-like range and elite passing skills are tailor-made for social media, helping her highlight reels routinely go viral.
• Clark's scoring outbursts and triple-doubles keep her name in the news, ensuring that even people who aren't fans of the sport know her name.
• With Iowa all but locking up a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament, Clark will have a chance to become an even bigger name nationally as the Hawkeyes chase their first national title.

Looking ahead: Clark will return to Iowa next year — and says she may even come back for her extra COVID year. If that happens, the all-time women's D-I scoring mark would likely be hers for the taking.

• Kelsey Plum, the current record holder (3,527 points), averaged 25.4 ppg in 139 games at Washington.
• Clark has averaged 26.9 ppg in 94 games at Iowa.

The bottom line: Caitlin Clark is one of the most recognizable basketball players in America, regardless of gender or age, and her career has only just begun.

Urbandale residents vote today on the "U-Plex," the proposed indoor/outdoor community recreation complex.

Details: It would sit on a nearly 12-acre site in Walnut Creek Regional Park and not be membership-based or considered a health club — meaning most of its facilities will be low cost and open to the public.

By the numbers: If voters approve, the project would cost up to $43 million and be largely paid for via a 20-year bond.

• The owner of an Urbandale home assessed at $200K would pay about $119 more in annual taxes, according to city estimates.
• The bond referendum must fetch at least 60% approval to pass.

Des Moines is paying $25,000 to settle an employment discrimination lawsuit filed by a police officer fired after an investigation determined she made false claims.

Catch up fast: Officer Lourdes Hadenfeldt alleged that a driver swerved at her and hit her with the vehicle's mirror in 2019.

• But charges against the driver were dropped and Hadenfeldt was fired after an internal investigation determined Hadenfeldt had not been struck.

State of play: She was later denied unemployment and her termination was upheld by the Civil Service Commission.

• A Polk County district court in 2021 upheld and affirmed her termination.

Yes, but: Hadenfeldt alleged that other DMPD employees in similar circumstances had previously received lesser or no discipline.

• The only difference, she alleged, was that they were white males while she is Hispanic, according to the lawsuit.

The latest: The city agreed to the settlement shortly before a Feb. 27 trial, court records show.

• The City Council then approved the payment during a meeting last night.

What they're saying: Charles Gribble, an attorney for Hadenfeldt, declined to comment.

• DSM city manager Scott Sanders tells Axios the settlement was to "fully and finally resolve" litigation linked with Hadenfeldt's termination.
