[@alntr2872]

Caitlin folded in the last five minutes. SC's defense wore her down and took away her confidence with their relentlessness and fearlessness, they harassed her to the point she lost her energy and became frustrated. They were not in awe of her despite all the hype. Dawn Staly's coaching was excellent. She slowed the game down, changed the pace, which took Iowa out of their offensive rhythm, and she put in her bench players, making her bench the starters and her starters the bench (with a strong emphasis on defense) and it worked. They were clamping close the passing lanes, especially in the 3rd and 4th quarters where they separated themselves from Iowa on the scoreboard. Masterful coaching. So media, start talking about the undefeated winners, ok? That's the real story, thank you.

[@elizelhuancaya9704]

love this comment 100% true

[@hild-demongoddess7498]

Everything you said was perfect. However it was specifically raven Johnson's defense on her that did it. 23 first quarter. As soon as raven got on her 7 points in the last three quarters. 4 steals. 2 blocks. And she didn’t score a single point the last 7 minutes. She folded. Took her hope, confidence, and momentum away.

You Crazy!!! She played 40 minutes!!! A Shooter need Her Legs! Iowa played 2 different South Carolina teams in One Game!!! That's like a Boxers going 10 rounds with Ten different Boxers!!!

[@purrehype]

Throughout this tournament I’ve heard players, coaches and commentators say “you can’t guard Caitlin Clark so…” as part of a team’s defensive strategy. Raven Johnson literally proved all y’all wrong. She NEVER lifted her foot off Clark’s neck and it was debilitating. Good for you Raven Johnson!!!!

Staley was a great defensive player so it's no surprise.

[@lilikaramirez1848]

So honestly it was fatigue and depth that wins this game

[@nb81023]

That is the problem with the big 10 conference no one was guarding her, how raven and Nika did. Which is why she was able to break all those records, had Iowa been put in another conference she would not have broken those records.

​@@fujidenzo_kid4147 nah, that backwards way of thinking is the problem with y'all bandwagon fans. Why do I have to play twice as hard because I have the ability to do it 🙃? Then, if someone is injured or the team has an anomaly of a game defensively and Iowa wins by 2 or 3 because of a million unfair calls, you don't get to say, well SC should've played defense like they normally do or injuries are part of the game. You don't excuse bad officiating-simple. It means that the margin could've been bigger🥴🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

OVERALL IT WAS A WONDERFUL TEAM WIN BUT RAVEN JOHNSON NEEDS HER PROPS FOR THAT OUTSTANDING DEFENSE 🗣

[@PH-rs1cb]

Just like last year, someone on lsu put the clamps on Clark

[@musablue]

She also gave a master class on how to stop Caitlin Clark.

[@loverofhumanity]

@@musablue agree. The more I watch clark the more I do think she may struggle to score in the wnba initially. Her main flaw is she struggles against longer defenders, has no mid range (important if players are playing up on you) and also cant shoot at all going to her right. I do think she will be an elite passer though. Even in this game she threw many great passes. Her court vision is her best attribute imho.

[@coachonpoint]

LOL, all the artificial elevation of Raven. She had THREE points. Clark had THIRTY points. Cardozo, Fulwiley, and Tessa Johnson, and masterful bench rotation were the factors for the win.

This is what happens when you throw all of your punches too early, and your opponent is not only still standing but still fresh and then goes on the counter-attack and gets the KO. Clark goes from double digit scoring in the 1st quarter to getting practically shut out the rest of the game. Defense still wins championships folks.

[@lilikaramirez1848]

Honestly and if we're being honest SC was way too good for anyone. All these comments about lockdown d and shut down..she literally got her team here thru sheer will. Kudos to South Carolina but the hate this one player gets is ridiculous. Shut down or not CC was fire. And all this hype for women's sports is going to be gone after this year.

How long you been living in America? The system usually cheats in interracial competition - be it job hiring, the justice/court system, sports, or any other segment of American society. That's why it's always been said you have to be TWICE as good as your white counterpart. When you play an opponent like Iowa, you have to beat them decidedly so that you remove the refs as a factor. If you allow the game to remain close, you will get treated like W Virginia and UCONN - that's why you can't let it go down to the wire - you will be cheated.

Actually there’s no difference between the starters and benches in South Carolina Gamecocks. Rather in some games bench players played better than the starters. I guess that is how Dawn Staley really did her better job and that is how she made her team undefeated. Congratulations Gamecocks. Very sad for the last game of Caitlin Clark and Hawkeyes senior players. It was tremendous season for them to achieve this of back to back championships games.

Finally an honest take

It was a good game great job to the players, coaches and staff

I watch this so many times and I just love there sportsmanship, the coach just everything about this program Uncommon favor....

UConn women were literally robbed of a chance to beat Iowa. Would have loved to see UConn vs South Carolina.

[@masternganga]

They (SC Vs Uconn) had played earlier in the season.

[@kimberlybenjamin4066]

Now THAT would have been a game! SC against the actual best all-around player in D1 this year.

[@masternganga]

@@kimberlybenjamin4066 SC would have won. If UConn lost to Iowa, there was no way they could beat SC who did not lose a single game.

[@kimberlybenjamin4066]

@@masterngangaI def agree that SC would have won. But teams play different in the tournament. Reg season performance means almost nothing once that 1st round starts. The UCONN that lost to SC was not the same UCONN that played Iowa. I still would have preferred to see Paige over the CC show. 🤷🏾‍♀️

Iowa look like they did last year with LSU; little girls in a big girl game. They got out-matched.

[@ifeanyiibe7428]

South carolina will still be a very dangerous team because the only player leaving is Kamila Cardoso, but still they 6ft 5 Adhel Tac, she is a beast.

"The real USC" lol You mean the USC that has been asleep for the last 30 years? That USC? More like Rip Van WInkle.

As a LSU fan I was hoping SC would’ve put 100 like we did on them last year but they got the victory and for 3rd year in a row kept the national championship in the conference

[@robertspiller7093]

They would have had Raven Johnson not shot 1-11. Raven took too many shots. She played tremenduous defense but she took too many threes. Her shot just wasn't there.

[@Loverb1989]

To know they really wanted Iowa to win and didn’t really care for S. Carolina at all. The hate was real during this season!!!!!

[@ryanciani3324]

the reason south carolina wins is cause they play the entire team. how many iowa players play? 7. and 2 of them didnt even score a single shot. entire teams win games. not just 5 players. you have a huge team of players. use them

[@aidaniscoolyeet7343]

When Raven stole that ball on the first steal, Catlin was shook...then the second time...then the third...and at the end of the game...congrats Raven... I think that alone kinda messed with Clark's confidence

[@CrumbPenny-ki5hc]

The defense by South Carolina on Iowa's last possession of the first half , is a prime example of offense wins games , defense wins championships . Iowa didn't get a shot off .

[@nr30199]

Can't have a name like Pao Pao and not be able to shoot.....the basketball of course!

[@MrBuddibaba]

Iowa depended on Catlin Clark to win. When Catlin did well, they did well. SC depended on their whole bench to win. As soon as Catlin faltered SC took over. LSU made the same mistake with Angel Reese. You cannot depend on one player to win a championship you need an entire team!

[@lilliancobbs6937]

Happy everytime I watch. Perfection as you heard it! There is too much hype for one player without a championship.

[@gymfoodphysicalhealthphysi1740]

Clark plays no defense

[@seancrawford1422]

Exactly 💯💯 She's overrated

[@mongoslade277]

Her defense will be better in the WNBA. She had to play the whole game for Iowa and score and run the point. Can't go all out on defense doing all that

[@pjohnston123]

Congratulations South Carolina! Great teamwork! Such a joy to watch!
