Gyamfi and Marshall arrived at the venue in style, both sporting gray hoodies with Clark's iconic #22 jersey number written on them. A photo of Clark's former Iowa teammates smiling at the stands was shared on Instagram by Iowa's women's basketball program.

"Here for our girl 🌟," the photo was captioned.

The trio of Clark, Marshall and Gyamfi were best friends during their stint together at Iowa. While Clark has since moved on to the WNBA, Marshall chose to retire from basketball to focus on getting her masters degree in occupational therapy from North Carolina University.

Meanwhile, Gyamfi has not made any official statements on ending her collegiate basketball career. However, she did reveal that she would not pursue the sport professionally after leaving Iowa.
