[@tiamarrow6366]

I personally think because due to that national championship which made Caitlin and Angel even more famous……and the fact that Iowa is predominantly white, while LSU is predominantly black and minority…..people will practically fight to the death to explain why Iowa did so good even if they had an obvious bad game. Every team has bad games no matter how good they are, and how good and popular their individual players are. It seems like when there’s a white team versus a black team……almost everyone will defend the white team, and try to shade the black team because deep down inside nobody wants the black team to win.

As for the girl, she definitely should’ve been paying attention because she was on her phone, however…..it was an accident, and so many Ohio fans came out onto the court not just her. Now I am a fan of Caitlin, I love and respect her game however…..she was being a bit dramatic during that moment, I mean even if it did hurt…how is it that the girl who she ran into was able to get back up easily like as if she tripped a bit, and Caitlin was laying on the floor acting like she got shot or hit by a car? It also didn’t seem like they ran into each other that hard. While I love Caitlin…..I gotta say, that moment for her was very dramatic.

[@danielpires8940]

Im so happy that I am not the only person to say that. CC was not hurt at all, you can see she was flopping. All these people around the country bragging about Clark has created someone who now thinks they are so better than everyone else, and entitled to some special treatment. CC was out there crying before the game ended like a spoiled brat. I was there at the game, she was so upset that she was losing. These people go crazy over CC, just pay attention to the incident, you can see an Ohio State staff member while running to Clark take and push an Ohio State player standing there about to help Clark, nearly throwing the player away from Clark. Now Iowa loses, watch they drop to # 3 or 4 in the ranking instead of 7-10 like they do other top teams that have loss.

[@bertjones3010]

At 6', 155 lbs, Clark is not some gossamer violet. Also if you actually watch the video Clark ran into the girl. It wasn't like the fan ran over Clark.

[@HaleyScott-f6g]

Yes :( It frustrates me how she´s such a gifted passer, but refuses to call plays in late situations and justs settles for 15+ 3´s. Also the stepback is gonna hurt her in the pros, because in the midrange she´s only doing with them included. Can you imagine her trying to do that against Aja or Stewie? She will be blocked everytime

[@chaossector99]

but that's the COACH, and also the NCAA. The NCAA got their girl, she's the biggest name in women's sports. The coach can't deny the revenue that has been generated from her name, they're being covered nationally, even globally, the town is booming, there is nothing the coach can do, or will do, to stop that money train. If she were to pass more, and not take as many shots, her point production goes down, the highlights go down, and she won't be as exciting to watch to the fans. So shoot away Clark, all the way to losing once again in the tournament.

In one recent game (that they won) 5 players scored in the mid teens. FIVE PLAYERS!!!!!!! That's why UCONN is so successful. There is no "I" in the word team. Yes, we always have standout players like Diana, Sue and Paige. But, they were team players. That's why Paige is generational player. She understands the word team.

Clark is a PG, but in this current Iowa system I don´t think it will work if they wanna be Final Four contenders again. As much as I love CC passing skills, I admit maybe It´s better for Iowa if Molly runs the point and she stays at the 2, heliocentric offense will not work this year. She needs to be used as a decoy and Molly passes the ball inside to either Hannah or Martin when 2 defenders try to trap CC thinking she´s gonna get the ball. The two losses were 70% CC´s fault for her decision making and shot selection, so next time try using Molly Davis, she has an awesome layup bag to open up the floor for the rest

Second, it exposes the truth about Iowa, they chunk up a bunch of 3s, and hope to intimidate their opponents with Clark's wacky range. but if you just keep playing team basketball, they'll usually fold in crunch time. That Iowa player who shot that 3 at 96-90, yeah her legs actually buckled due to the PRESSURE of taking that shot. And hey, that one loss on OSU conference record, yeah that's us baby. Our coach is sabotaging the team though, so if we're gonna have a bad season then I want everybody to suffer!!!

[@camilasilvaalves6319]

Clark is a natural PG trying to be a shooting guard, she´s playing both roles at the same time when there´s no need to. HVL is a natural shooting guard trying to be PG. Both need to accept their roles, commit to their natural positions and stop trying to mix

[@OriginalJohnDoeFakersBeware]

Great win for the Buckeyes. Clark shot a respectable 48 percent, but Iowa's game is not very versatile if it all relies so heavily on Clark. It seems they are willing to trade victories and even championships to up Clark's numbers. It is not against the rules but it is against sportsmanship and makes it difficult for fans to enjoy Clark's success.

CC doesn't have the kind of players around her that you would want to take over the game in the last quarter to put the opponent's defense to work. Or maybe the coach hasnt done enough to develop the other players to take the lead on the floor. They need to have a bench that can keep opponents worried especially when CC is not on the floor. Having one player option is bad for any team. She can score 40+ points a game but if the bench players on the team are not making mid range shots or driving to the basket then she will have a tough final if the hawkeyes get there. If they had a point guard who's able to protect the ball, draw defenders and create options for the rest of the team, perhaps things would have turned out differently in terms of the pressure to defend, Buckeyes would have had to deal with. Also Stuelke should have done a bit of strength training to avoid being bullied under the basket. She can work on her footwork to deal with much stronger centers when she is attacking the rim much like what Utah's Alisa does. This was a painful loss though. But credit to Ohio for the win.
