Jason Sudeikis Introduces 'Ted Lasso' To Caitlin Clark And Iowa Hawkeyes With Courtside Dance

It wasn't all bad for the University of Iowa on Saturday night, thanks to actor Jason Sudeikis.

Despite the Hawkeyes' football team laying an egg in the Big Ten Championship game versus Michigan, the school's women's hoops team - and a famous fan in attendance - left the Iowa faithful with something to smile about.

Sudeikis, an SNL alum and avid hoops fan, was courtside in Carver-Hawkeye Arena to witness Caitlin Clark and the Hawkeyes upend Bowling Green. And in a rarity, Clark wasn't the most entertaining person in the building. That honor went to Sudeikis, who channeled his inner-Ted Lasso during a second quarter stop in the action.

While Clark and her teammates were well on their way to grounding the Falcons, Sudeikis briefly took the spotlight and performed the dance he made famous on the award-winning series "Ted Lasso." Though the popular show seems to have concluded, (there has been no official announcement), Sudeikis seemingly had no problem dialing up Lasso's mannerisms.

Clark, by the way, did some entertaining of her own. The reigning AP Player of the Year chipped in 24 points, 11 assists and 7 boards.

Though I'm sure they appreciate the gesture, it won't take Ted Lasso to make these Hawkeyes believe.
