At least the women’s b-ball team is worth watching.

Its more then just her shooting %. Its the flair she plays with. She has created a fan base, not to mention all the little girls who show up at ALL the areana's to see her play. How many guys here followed the womens team before Clark? I know I didn't, but haven't missed a game thats been on the last 2 years. She is an incredible facilitator passing the ball. Her 28pt, 10 rebound 15 ASSIST triple double game last night on the road vs a #2 ranked team, has only been done one other time, by ANYONE in college basketball man or woman, (D Wade of Marquette), against a top 2 ranked team since 1998 at least. What she is doing is historic, so Yea, I think we should forgive her missing some bombs, or a layup now and then.......

My post was replying to a poster about Gabby, not Caitlin.

is the Elite 8 their ceiling?

Max ceiling, yes, but then it also depends on their Sweet 16 draw....................or if we get Creighton before that again.

Ionescu was/is a great player. And is killing it in the WNBA. No need to denigrate her accomplishments. Clark is a fantastic player as well. Both great players.

I agree but 26 triple doubles? That's a ridiculous number. Regardless if she never got one against a rated team. I might have been over the top with describing her stats but regardless 26 is a crazy high number.

Defensive player of the game IMO was Gabby Marshall who held Mikesell to 12 pts, 5-16 and 2-10 from 3 and one came in the first Q and the last when the game was out of reach for OSU. Two games prior she held PSU's Makenna Marisa to 5 pts on 2-13 shooting and ofer from 3.

Gabby played a great game. I appreciate her effort and man did she get run over. Completely flattened with no call of course.

As did Molly Davis, who got knocked right off her feet and flew backwards. No blood, no foul I guess......

Why? Is it their better athleticism, or their ball handling skills? Is it the pace of the game, or is it the leaping ability with all of the players skying for rebounds and dunks? Perhaps it's that they shoot a lower field goal percentage than the men, or that they turn the ball over more than the men all why playing with a smaller basketball. Please do tell your reasons for liking it more. Be specific and don't tell me it's because they play the game like it should be played as their assist to turn over ratio is worse than the men's team. If it's because they win, then just say so and then I'll come back and see what you say once Clark leaves.

Nobody responded to your comment. Ouch.

But I will play along for funsies. I also love the men's program so I hate that anyone is trying to bring down either sport and should be proud of both.

Our girls play with just as much passion, pride and competitiveness as anyone else. Sometimes they show that emotion on the court, like Clark and Czanano, but some people don't like it because they are women.

I'm a stats nerd and I don't know if it's pointed out, but at this point Caitlin is leading the team in points, assists, rebounds, steals, and blocks. How many guards at the B1G level of competition do you see with these gaudy stats? Maybe a Drexel or Sisters of the Poor program.
