It was a huge factor. Iowa is heavily dependent on their core players. Lsu is not. Iowa had to play the second half with three of their starters playing with oven mitts. Where Lsu kept their core players out of foul trouble by keeping them out of the first half and watching their bench go on a run.
Agree that the 75% is hard to overcome. But way harder to overcome when you take so much out of iowas hands. Clark was half as aggressive in the 4th quarter because they kept dinging here on offensive fouls [Reply]

She didn't taunt LSU at all... The clip you showed was from last weekend after a girl did that to them during the game, and was no where close to this.... can't embed from here.

That's it, go to your room and don't come out until dinner. [Reply]

Despite LSU sitting some starters in the first half due to foul issues their bench still dominated Iowa’s starters. Heck one of LSUs bench players who usually averaged like three a game had 21 at the half. I will agree that the Clark technical was terrible, but LSU built up such a lead that Iowa had to play more aggressive to get back into it. That means the chance of picking up additional fouls was likely. Plus Iowa would build a run, but couldn’t get much closer than 8-9 because of that huge lead. It was mentioned earlier but you aren’t beating a team that shot that well. [Reply]

She didn’t get to taunt LSU because that team absolutely destroyed her team. You’re kidding yourself if you think she wouldn’t have done so if she would have won given her past antics.
Winners win, losers cry about getting taunted. I would suggest not becoming the latter. [Reply]
“It was cute when Caitlin Clark did it. Y’all didn’t have any issues with it at all. So don’t be all outraged and talking about class and sportsmanship when Angel Reese does the same thing.”

I didn't watch the post game. Did she cry about getting taunted?
All I'm seeing is people pointing out how childish the player who followed her around the court to taunt her looked. [Reply]

She could have had one foul and it wouldn’t have made a difference. LSU was the better team today and it showed. [Reply]
