Raven wore Clark out. That was a masterful clinic of defense.

That steal before the half was everything. Proud of her and so glad she got her redemption.

Congratulations Coach Dawn Staley and the South Carolina Gamecocks on the well deserved win.🎉🎉 You deserve this win.

[@walkingenmity]

I'm so happy for South Carolina! Love Dawn FOREVER! Mad respect for her. Raven played an amazing job. I'm so proud of her!

[@octaviakf]

I’m sorry but she should have gave Raven her props here when he said what changed. Raven started guarding her and that was the pivotal moment in the game

[@theonlykog]

That was part if the plan. She protected Raven the 1st quarter to see how the refs were going to call the game. Once that was understood, then put Raven on her. That was brilliant.

[@TheDrMinipark]

We don't need the media to give us anything because we know what their motives are when he comes to us and our accomplishments in life. We should learn by now that only God is that one that we should get our recognition from and never man.

[@LadyMoniquet85211]

Stop putting words in people’s mouth. She said they were on a roll and she didn’t want to stop their flow. Their meaning “TEAM” and Raven is part of the team.

Thanks also to the amazing contributions from Tessa Johnson, Pao Pao, Watkins, Fulwiley, Kitts, Feagan, Hall, Cardoso, Raven and the entire team. COLLECTIVELY you all are our MVPs. You kept the WE in our season and in our victories. Go Gamecocks!

Raven has such an expressive face. It’s so funny to watch her react.

[@DrShaunHeckstallToTheOverflow]

"Hollywood" Raven swing! Love this kid! Raven is an example of classy when you win over someone who has disrespected you! "They go low, we go high"!

[@htownblack9184]

Nah I'm going super low ...

[@TheDrMinipark]

I remember when Raven said that after the Iowa lost last year, she got closer to reading the bible and now she is more grounded. I saw a clip where Caitlin started to take Raven's defense for granted and Raven stole the ball to let Caitlin know that she had come to play and was not intimidated. I saw the clip where Caitlin was showing Raven respect last year and I am glad that Raven started to talk to the God of the Bible more and understanding that God had a bigger plan for her life, and it was to win the National Championship. Victory is mine's saith the Lord. Congratulations to the University of South Carolina Gamecocks.

[@breeminor498]

​@@htownblack9184Yeah, it's that deep. The game last year between Iowa and South Carolina created the rivalry between LSU and Iowa last year due to Catlin Clark disrespectful behavior towards the South Carolina team and Raven Johnson.

I am Philadelphia, North Philly proud of the Dawn Staley. She started at Dobbins High School and continued at Virginia. She was a great point guard that could shoot. She also played great defense.

I remember Raven getting disrespected in that game last year, when Caitlyn waved her away because she couldn’t shoot from the perimeter. What a difference a year makes because she single handedly worked Caitlyn with her astounding defense.

[@lavonnealexander6936]

She also improved her shot and offensive skills. I am surprised she didn’t score more.

Whether it's women's sports or mens , there's nothing like being a part of a successful team. Whether it's little league baseball , pop Warner football or college athletics , being part of a team just benefits you so much as a person and in life. So proud of my University. As much as i admire Dawn and her success. My personal belief is that there is no room for biological men in this beautiful life fulfilling sport. GO GAMECOCKS. I love this University, this team , and all these young women.

Apparently Clark clamped up Raven too? She was 1-11, 0-4 from three with 3 points. Brutal.

[@taydestiny38]

@burdphil….obviously you don’t follow women’s basketball because it’s no secret that Raven’s game is not on the offensive end! It’s her defense, that makes her game stand out.

[@michellauzon4640]

Raven Johnson is humble. Her coach made a huge mistake to not assigned Johnson against Clark before. Actually, Johnson "beg" for it after Clark crushed SC in the 15 first minutes. I am puzzled why nobody asks the question to Staley: why not Johnson before?

[@CAS482]

Why get Caitlin Clark when you can get Raven Johnson the Caitlin Clark Stopper.

[@ashkeygii9449]

Anchor on the right wasn't feelin it🤣...but give Raven that honorary MOP. We know Kamilla deserved it undoubtedly, but Raven showed why every MOP/MVP has the team or at least one other player to thank. It was the same for Angel last year. She could've done more if not for a BS call sitting her out, but Jasmine Carson showed upppp. Thanks for showing that it's a team sport👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
