If Iowa is in the SEC or ACC, does Clark win anything in her 4 years?
Obviously will never know, but I'm guessing she doesn't

I enjoy Iowa fans playing up Big Ten wbb tournament championships.
Iowa State is basically a mbb blue blood if winning the toughest conference tournament is the primary measuring stick.
There is no debate or reason to even discuss this. We all know Aaron Agnew is, was, and always will be the GOAT.
It's dumb anyways. There are a ton of athletes that would be listed among the GOATS but are automatically dinged because they lack championships. Ever heard of Dan Marino David?
Isn't there some kind of Des Moines ordinance that prevents you from doing that?
The whole no championships narrative is pretty lazy though. IMO the biggest argument for Clark is that she isn't surrounded by a loaded roster like the former college greats she's being compared to.
Win shares and PER are stats that even out that argument.
I understand this will get me executed in this state but Maya Moore is probably the best women's basketball player I have ever seen and that's most likely because I am not old enough to have seen Cheryl Miller play.
Era in which one plays always has a lot to do with all these players; which is why the GOAT arguments are stupid. For example... Jackie Stiles. What could she have done in the Steph Curry era of letting it fly or if her percentage (44% career) would have seen a considerable drop into the 30's as her 3 point attempts went up? Back in the late 90's early 00's she was a player ahead of her time.
Elway, Montana, Brady, Mahomes. All better. All have rings.
I hope the speed dating style set up at restaurants dies one of these days.
As lazy as going off of just offensive stats? She didn't have a bunch of bums around her. Marshall, Czanio(sp?) Stulkey and Martin were pretty good players. Don't insult them so much.
She didn't play defense. She also turned the ball over a ton. She took a lot of bad shots. Wonder if that has anything to do with zero championships?
If someone else wants to say she the GOAT, more power to them.
Why must I say C.C. is the GOAT as well? Why is that important to people that I agree with them?
I think that's a little overdone.
Taurasi won a Natty her senior year with no other WNBA picks (Ashley Battle, Barbara Turner, Ann Strother being the other main players).
Maya Moore won a Natty her sophomore year with basically only Tina Charles (who was really good).
Some of those Sue Bird years were totally stacked teams, but I think it's a little overdone to say all the UCONN teams were stack while Iowa was only Caitlin.
Yeah the day after our sweet 16 loss the Murph and Andy show was Fales Sipker and AD. I immediately shut it off because it was just going to be 3 guys reveling in our defeat.
I won't pretend to be able to say who the GOAT is when it comes to wbb because I don't pay anywhere near enough attention to wbb to make that determination.
All the media people didn't pay attention 5+ years ago but they'll confidently tell you that CC is the GOAT.

That's odd. AD has been gone for a while. Did he return for a guest spot? Also Siepker is an ISU grad, but I guess that doesn't mean he's a fan.
Yeah he was back as a guest host. For being an ISU grad Siepker seems more pro Iowa than ISU.
