Maddy's POV:

I quickly put on my practice gear before heading over to the interview, since we had practice directly after. I walked out of my suite and outside to see Caitlin pulled up waiting to bring me to Carver for Paige's interview. I hopped into the car and we began to drive over.

"You excited?", she asked.

"Yeah I think this is going to be fun", I responded.

"You know Kate is freaking out over this right?", Caitlin said.

"I don't get why she would", I responded.

"She thinks Paige wants you, which obviously she does, but she just thinks Paige is here to get with you", Caitlin said, pulling into the parking lot.

"Wait back up. Obviously she wants me?", I questioned.

"Dude she couldn't be more obvious", Caitlin said.

She put the car in park and we got out to head into the arena. We walked out onto the court to see Paige already waiting with a camera crew.

"Hey chicas", Paige yelled.

We waived back as she walked over to us, and explained how it was going to work. She was going to ask us each a question and then we take a shot, if we make the shot then we have to answer it and if we miss, we don't. Simple enough I thought. We got ready to start filming as I stood in the middle of Paige and Caitlin.

"Welcome to another episode of 20 shots and 20 questions with, the one and only, Paige Bueckers. Today I'm in Iowa City with some of my favorite Hawkeyes, ladies would you like to introduce yourself", Paige spoke into the camera.

"I'm Caitlin Clark I'm a junior guard on the Iowa women's basketball team from Des Moines, Iowa", she spoke.

"And I'm Maddy Cameron, a freshman guard on the Iowa women's basketball team from Chicago, Illinois", I spoke.

"Now time for the questions and shots. First up is a layup and the question is who is your biggest basketball influence", she said.

Caitlin and I both took turns with the layups, we both made them before we ran back over to give our answer.

"Of course mine would have to be Maya Moore, she is the goat and I grew up idolizing her. I wanted to match her game as best as I could", Caitlin responded.

"Mines a little different. Mine is my Mom. She played at Ohio State and holds the scoring record there. She always has inspired me and pushed me to be great", I spoke.

"Truly inspirational ladies", Paige said into the camera.

"Now free throws, the question is, what is your best basketball moment?", she asked.

Again, Caitlin and I both made our shots with ease before returning to the camera to answer the question.

"Mine would have to be from a few weeks ago my buzzer beater against Indiana on Senior day. Not because of the shot, it was just securing the win for the team and for the seniors. Also the energy in Carver was just unbelievable", Caitlin spoke.

"Mine would honestly have to be winning the Big 10 tournament this year because it was the first of my Iowa career and it just felt unreal winning. It was also a little sweeter because it was against my mom's school and my best friends on the team now. Shout out Sami Drake", I spoke.

"Yes shout out Sami Drake, love you", Caitlin said pointing at the camera.

I looked at Caitlin subtly as I didn't know if her and Sami wanted to go public yet. Sometimes I forget my best friend is dating Caitlin, it was weird at first but I was used to it by now.
