Not being clutch and able to win it all will keep her out of the GOAT talk but definitely the best Hawkeye WBB ever.
Time for a Real Discussion About Caitlin Clark

Maybe not logo 3’s but hopefully a more balanced game. Going to be hard to keep people interested in watching 40 minutes of the George Mikan drill.
I guess carrying the team to two national championship games isn’t clutch. Tough bar to clear.
Have you watch the young talent I was referring to? They are gamers on both sides of the ball..WBB is in great hands going forward
I saw that FF game and didn't notice any antics so it was tolerable to watch.
She still acted like she might need a stretcher after a couple of fouls which is just kind of weird behavior.
I don’t disagree there’s an increase in skill that’s coming forward. That’s what’s been needed along with parity.
Next week on Hok-Tok...." Remember when Caitlyn made that basket? Wasn't that great?"
While there are some aspects of Clark's game I don't like such as the whining to the refs (she did tone it down lately) still have to admire the incredible talent she is. We are a Cyclone household but even my 4th and 1st grade daughters who are big fans of Addy and Audi are big Clark fans too. How can I not support that as I want them to think they achieve big things too.
She has been great for the sport and has brought in a ton of fans that may not have given WBB the time of day before. Every girl now wants to be the next Caitlin Clark which is not a bad thing for the sport.
I hope that there are stars in waiting next season as there are a bunch of big names about to join the WNBA. Audi has the chance to be one which as Cyclone fans should excite us about next season.

Iowa performed better in the tournament than most people expected. Today, they just couldn't lick those 'Cocks.
I know they do it for financial reasons and maybe it's necessary for the tourney to be viable, but I hope the women's tourney eventually goes away from hosting the first two rounds at home for the #1-#4 seeds, that's just a massive advantage.
The problem is that most WBB first round tourney games aren't going to draw crowds at neutral sites. Financially it's a loser and the optics of playing in empty arenas aren't great.
The LSU super team never really gelled, to be fair. Uconn was down to 7 with injuries. Good teams and Iowa played well to beat them. But you've got some hyperbole in your statement.
LSU was what…. a 3 seed? Lost some games this year they had no business losing. They had issues. Iowa was a 1 seed.
And UConn was only down 5 players…. great win Iowa! Really?
Yeah that's my point, LSU was a dream team built from All Americans out of the transfer portal. Iowa was CC and a bunch of short, underwhelming low-star recruits... and they were a 1 seed and beat said superteam. Pretty impressive.
As I said during the game today…. the overt racism by all the Hawk fans I work with was embarrassing. And someone basically said it must be an issue with the people I work with. Trust me, it’s not. Look at all these Iowa message boards. It’s a HUGE issue with that fan base.
