While the Kansas City Chiefs get Caitlin Clark, the Minnesota Vikings get the other star player.
And so they made it clear who they are rooting for on Friday night during the women's March Madness Final Four games.
The Vikings posted a young photo of UConn star Paige Bueckers decked out in a Vikings jersey and a helmet.
"She grew up cheering for us and now we're cheering for her 🤝 👏, they wrote on Instagram. "Good luck in the women's Final Four Paige ‼️"
Bueckers grew up in Minnesota, so it makes sense why she was a Vikings fan. And along with them, she was also a big fan of the Minnesota Lynx of the WNBA. So it's safe to say they will all be rooting for her.
UConn was able to put on a strong performance against No. 1 seed USC on Monday, earning themselves a spot in the Final Four. But while they got past the Trojans, Friday night's matchup will be the toughest of them all.
Caitlin Clark and Iowa are proving to be a tough force and are coming off a big win over reigning champions LSU. And after losing in the championship game last year, they are more determined than ever.
But UConn stands in their way, and Bueckers isn't going out without a fight.
So along with the rest of the world, the Vikings will certainly be tuned in on Friday night.
UConn vs. Iowa tips off at 9:30 p.m. ET on ESPN.
