Iowa fans react to McKenna Woliczko's showing in 2026 Jordan Brand Classic

As Iowa women's basketball signee McKenna Woliczko played in her final high school-level All-Star game on April 17 in the 2026 Jordan Brand Classic, many Hawkeye fans shared their opinion on the 6-foot-2 power forward's play and also the peculiar lighting setup of the annual event. Unlike every other national event that Woliczko has played in, the Jordan Brand Classic operated with a target score similar to what the NBA experimented with for a few years at its All-Star Game. In this case, it was set by adding 23 to the leading team's score (85) at the five-minute mark of the fourth quarter.

With the event representing the final game in which Woliczko would play before beginning her transition to the collegiate level at Iowa, here are some of the best social media reactions to her performance and the event as a whole: We are so excited to have @McKennaDub reppin’ us in the Jordan Brand All-American Game tonight!! 🤩So proud of ya & all the work that got ya here! Hawk fans, you can tune in on the NBA app to watch our future Hawkeye in action!!
