Yeah that is probably the case but that’s why you don’t let refs take players out of games like that. Iowa actually did a pretty good job in the 3rd quarter. .
But even still… I don’t know how anyone can suggest clark choked. You can say it wouldn’t have impacted the outcome of the game if she had less fouls but without a doubt she was limited in what she could do in the 4th quarter because of what was an egregiously bad call [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 wanted to Iowa to win but the pearl clutching about this is ridiculous. Not at all surprising though. Different sets of rules for different sets of people. [Reply]

Winners win, losers cry about getting taunted. I would suggest not becoming the latter.
She’s cocky so she if dishes it out, she should expect to get it back. It doesn’t look like she was at all bothered by it. So agreed… mostly, who cares. They both do it. On the other hand, if you’re going to call a T on clark and force a 4th foul on that bullshit toss back, I don’t know how you don’t call a T on blatant taunting. It wasn’t just clapping back, she was staring her down for 10 seconds doing it. Clarks actions are way more cocky than they are confrontational . [Reply]

Agreed. I am by no means defending the refs as they were terrible. Iowa played well in the third quarter, but part of that was LSU slowing the game down and the huge hole Iowa was put in. I never want refs deciding a championship, but to be honest despite how good Clark was, LSU was just the better team today. Zero excuses for Iowa’s starters to get abused by LSU’s bench. [Reply]

You want to know why LSU whooped Iowa? They were more athletic, had a way better defense and better depth, it's just thst simple. Clark is great but it was like watching a young JJ Reddick on a team full of shooters from Europe. When the three stops falling then what did they have? And Iowa constantly tried to hide Clark on defense too which is why LSU had so many open looks.
All in all it was a great game and hopefully the profile will have been raised because of the likes of Clark and Reese. As for Angel taunting Clark!!..lol LOVE IT!!..why not keep it real? I'm sure they were tired of the Clark hype :-)
And btw Angel just said "Clark is a great player for sure" in her postgame press conference so she at least gave her some praise :-) [Reply]

Clark got two offensive fouls and a tech if I'm not mistaking. That's really the only stats that mattered in this one. Everyone knew she had to carry the team and Iowa couldn't win without her at her best.
Biggest surprise of the game was Carson in the first half. Then the rest was highly predictable. [Reply]
This sort of whining is the same stuff we laugh at when Travis Kelce acts like Travis Kelce. Those people look like bitches and so do a lot of people in this thread. [Reply]
