BRITS React to South Carolina vs. Iowa - 2024 Women's National Championship extended highlights

[@nicolefagala3270]

38-0 baby, 3 ncaa national titles in 7 years. Dawn Staley the 🐐. Went to Virginia as a point guard, Wmba champion, olympic champion. Just 🔥

[@davidweiss8710]

18.7 million people average watched with a peak of 24 million. Amazing numbers since last year was 9.9 million. It was a great game!

[@FreedomFighter2112]

Mostly because they thought a white woman was going to beat a Black team. Just remember that the College game between Bird and Magic drew 36 Million viewers because of the race element

6’7” Cordosa can dunk. There are videos of her doing it when she was in high school. Watkins can also dunk and has dunked in games since she has been playing for South Carolina

[@bw5970]

5'11" Maya Moore could dunk. Threw one down proper.

[@rlciii]

And? So can 5,000 men’s varsity high school players…

[@TshirtChick]

@@rlciii Anybody that knows anything about basketball knows that men can dunk. My response was to one of the guys in the video that said that she is 6'7" and should be able to dunk which means that they did not know she could.

[@TshirtChick]

@@rlciii My son been dunking since 8th grade so those varsity "Men" you mention are late bloomers. And of they are "Men" and still in high school they shood be ineligible to play on the team 😆

@@bw5970 I heard Fulwiley can dunk too but have not seen any videos of it.

[@_somebroad_1061]

I’m a proud Hawkeye. I wanted my team to win of course, but I am so proud of them for just getting there. We didn’t have the depth and the defense but it was great just to see them push themselves. Caitlin Clark is exceptional in every sense of the word but, the women in both teams showed up and showed out. It was a victory for women’s basketball, period. Congratulations are in order for South Carolina! They had a hell of a season.

[@TeeLrr-r4s]

UConn ain't have the depth or defense when you beat them.

[@tnicoletnicole]

Funny you know they didn’t have the depth or the defense but somehow some way they made it. Got to love those zebra stripes.

UConn, Tennessee, South Carolina, Baylor and Texas are all teams that have gone undefeated. South Carolina is 109-3 in the last three years.

[@lovesgucci1]

I think Clark is incredible and has done so much for women’s basketball! I look forward to seeing Clark and Angel play against (or together) in the WNBA. That’ll definitely be the largest viewership for WNBA by 1000%! But… I’m extremely happy for Coach Dawn Staley and her players! #PhillyGirl

[@shadowfire_08]

that’s my girls, SC alum of ‘13 🤙🏻🐓🔥🍻 can’t wait for next year with these freshman coming back

[@BigBilly-io3kf]

Aidan was right. Per the New York Times, “South Carolina’s win over Iowa was seen by an astonishing 18.7 million viewers and peaked at 24.7 million. That’s an 89 percent increase from the 2023 title game and a 285 percent increase from 2022. ESPN says it is the most-watched basketball game (men’s or women’s, college or pro) since 2019.”

[@bcbritt777]

Woohoo go gamecocks!!!! ❤️🐓❤️🐓 SC rep!!!

[@reggiebrown9508]

Last year's South Carolina team lost there entire starting 5 to the WNBA with there best player being the number 1 pick. So most of these players were bench players last year and freshmen.

[@sheesshhhhhh]

SC Too big, Too many, Too good. SC 37 -0 off the bench and a huge advantage in rebounds. I like Iowa but they had little chance against a stacked and, deep and talented team. Fair and deserved result.

[@MoeDavinci]

USC has depth off the bench as well. They were rotating like 10 different players and every was fresh and had energy. Iowa began getting gassed later in the second half. They only had like 6-7 players play considerable minutes. So if you add on the height and banging on the inside with USC over time, it’ll catch up.

[@thursty101]

Class moment when SC coach thanked Caitlin Clarke after the game for bringing recognition and lifting the sport up.

[@rgractor]

14:00 MiLaysia's little happy hop after the cross-court pass to Tessa gets me every time. This team's nickname was Dawn's Day Care b/c of how young they are, and that moment perfectly encapsulates their energy.

[@ColinBass-l8j]

24 million viewers at its peak. Most viewed Basketball game (including the NBA) in just over four years.

[@tyreek.6815]

Clark was missing a lot of easy shots in the 4th... I think she was overwhelmed by the defense. Not to drag her teammates but she kept passing the ball in the 4th when in reality she should've been more selfish. She was trying to force passes which led to turnovers. Everyone knew this game was gonna come down to how Clark plays and her making shots bc I think we all know for the past 4-5 years South Carolina has been the best TEAM. Last year LSU won because they were the better TEAM and Reese was facilitating the ball to her teammates through concepts. Iowa this year played more team ball as Clarks teammates stepped up. Esp their center. Iowa tried to do that in the 2nd half but the adjustments by South Carolina made it hard. Esp with how athletic and agile SC was compared to Iowas players. Iowa was in the game because of the paint... when SC shut that down it made it rough for Iowa. Good game though. I think Iowa's recruiting hurt Clark in college. They did not help her imo. She plays the full game every game while also doing most of the work. Iowa needed to get like another star player or a bench that can control a game which can allow Clark to rest. Curry takes breaks. He did in college too. She never sat on the bench, Thats putting her at a disadvantage esp as a sharpshooter. She was TIRED and overwhelmed. Iowa failed her imo.

[@meowski617]

I don’t think there are enough college players period that can handle her passes to be honest. Hopefully the WNBA will showcase her passing abilities and we can see her assist numbers go up.

[@hj1466]

South Carolina played defense and rebounded very well, and that is what wins championships.

It’s so funny. She didn’t beat UConn on her own and she didn’t beat LSU on her own. Now all of a sudden you can’t beat them on your own.

[@GodLovesComics]

Goooooooo Gamecocks! I said, with the form they had shown in the tournament up to this point that Carolina likely couldn't win unless Fulwiley, Kitts, and Tessa Johnson all got a lot more playing time. It turned out all three did get more PT and played huge roles, with Tessa ultimately leading the team and showing uncanny composure for a Freshman.

Caitlyn Clark should be the first pick in the WNBA draft. A lot more people will start watching the WNBA because of her. Even the South Carolina coach tanked her for giving women's basketball a huge audience and called her a GOAT
