This is changing rapidlyThis is women’s basketball. While entertaining to watch every now and again, it doesn’t move any sort of “needle” within the athletic department. Half the fans will forget the team exists by August.

Uh, you may want to geo back and check that score.She’s special, I mean really, really special. If she only has a great game, say 25 and 5, the Hawks get blown out by 20. But she had another epic game and her team won. Tip your cap.
Besides, if the Clones beat the Hawks in football and men’s basketball then who really cares how well the Iowa women’s team does? Same with wrestling.
She's going to have some absurd leverage if she seriously considers coming back for her COVID year. Like "Nike will give her a signature shoe if she comes back" level leverage. She'll get one eventually, anyway, but right now, it'd be much better for Nike to ink a deal like that while she's in school.She's upping her NIL value drastically.
The operator of a Cedar Rapids sports bar told me that they had standing room only for the Iowa women’s Sweet 16 game which hadn’t happened for any other sporting event ever. This place has been open since the 90s. Now, I understand we are at a point on the calendar where people don’t have much to do and that game was played on an early Friday evening, but this isn’t like Iowa wrestling. Only half the people will forget if Caitlin Clark isn’t there come August, but she still will be for at least one more year.This is women’s basketball.

Does anyone see the Cyclones beating the Hawks in WBB anytime soon? I don’t. Regardless of recruiting rankings, what are the odds of a Bill retaining this latest class all four years based on recent events?It came down to playing for Bill vs Lisa. Not a hard decision unfortunately for us
Clark is a good player... but she's jacking 30+ shots per game. There's lots of players that can score high numbers shooting that many attempts per game. Fyi... she shot 31 attempts last night.

yeah it sucks she plays for the Hoks but you are in serious denial if you think her game is just about taking a bunch of shots.Iowa women's basketball is way way more popular than Iowa mens basketball. Its pretty remarkable if you think about it.Clark is a good player... but she's jacking 30+ shots per game. There's lots of players that can score high numbers shooting that many attempts per game.

Exactly Cycsk. She was involved in 75% of the team scoring last night. That is insane. And she basically does this night in and night out. Plus rebounds at a decent clip. The only criticism anyone can really have about her play is she takes some strange risks at times passing that leads to some high turnover numbers. But if you watch a team like Golden State for instance that has a high powered offense...so do they.They beat the #1 team in the country. No other team could have beaten South Carolina with one player jacking up 31 shots. Clark is much more than a volume shooter.
Duly noted. The number one team in the country also was 4-20 from beyond the arc. That's the ball game right there. The ISU men's team can relate to those numbers.They beat the #1 team in the country. No other team could have beaten South Carolina with one player jacking up 31 shots.

She literally just won the player of the year in women’s college basketball. Not sure how just a good player wins that award.Exactly Cycsk. She was involved in 75% of the team scoring last night.

I mean, this is certainly noteworthy, regardless of whether you’re a fan of hers or not.
And her assist numbers also show she’s way more than just a scorer jacking up 30+ shots per game. She’s an outstanding passer with great court vision - those little dish passes to Czinano are almost unstoppable when the defenses are focusing on Clark.

South Carolina's best offense was their missed jump shots because of their prowess with offensive rebounding. No one stat tells the whole story, except 77-73.
