With Iowa Hawkeyes superstar Caitlin Clark on the verge of making college basketball history, some fans couldn't bear to wait for the noon (local) tip-off.
Clark entered Sunday 18 points away from breaking "Pistol Pete" Maravich's Division I college basketball all-time scoring record. Maravich scored 3,667 points for the LSU Tigers from 1967-70, and the record has stood for 54 years.

One photo taken around 9 a.m. CT showed fans lining up outside the arena. A video taken after doors opened at 9 a.m. featured fans streaming into the stadium's lower bowl well ahead of the game.
