As an SC fan, I have to give props to Caitlin, Kate, and Iowa's coaching staff for their incredible talent and intensity. Most of all they are a classy program. They gave it their all. Caitlan was, no doubt the best player in women's college basketball. Kate Martin, and Iowa's center played a great game. I couldn't imagine contantly having to face a great player with fresh legs, when you've been playing your butt off for 20 or 30 minutes, and are a little gassed.

[@TheRevFireman630]

Caitlin commented about people who just started watching women's basketball over the last few years, and that they were late to the game. I have watched women's basketball periodically, or actually, sporadically would be more accurate, for several years, and have never seen someone so dynamic, who made me want to watch every game that they were playing in. Caitlin Clark makes women's basketball a must-see event, honestly speaking! No other player has done that before, not in recent years/decades anyway.

Why make this a race thing? Iowa lost and they didn't make excuses. They were humble in defeat, and gave their opponents credit for being better. Anybody who has ever been a part of a team knows how emotional it is when the brotherhood or sisterhood comes to an end. Of course it's emotional. S.C. was a big favorite for a reason. I live in Las Vegas, and the sportsbooks don't get emotional when they set the line, and the odds. Iowa did the best that they could against the obvious best team in the country. Last time I checked no one else beat them this year either. Regardless of race. South Carolina won with class, and Iowa lost with dignity. Can't we just enjoy the game, and the spirit of competition. These are all just young adults that are coming into their own. I noticed that every team in the tournament had black and white players on their rosters. And most likely these young ladies will remain close friends for the rest of their lives. That my friends is a beautiful thing. Why go through life hating so much. Nobody on either team has done or said anything wrong. Also, nobody gets to choose who their parents are. Yes, we're different races, shapes, and sizes, with no say in the matter.
