We were just the opposite. Clark on the main tv, chiefs on the overflow.

The mention of officiating for the Iowa vs LSU game is frustrating —-officials were intimidated by Mulkey, and if I remember correctly, actually bumped by her. The T on Caitlin was a big call as Iowa did make a late run. Bluder later said that she could not even talk to the officials.
This is a fun little Twitter read. Dakich must be drinking again.
Indiana fans definitely care about IU women’s basketball. But no one outside of their own fans cares, as is the case for most teams. The difference is Caitlin Clark has reached Taylor Swift status in sports.
Really?? I thought Holmes had a good game. Hawks switched 3 players on her and never really stopped her down low moves.
Iowa made an adjustment at halftime and she only had one bucket in 2nd half.
Holmes had a solid game, but started to wilt in the second half. She is shooting 66% on the season. Iowa held her to 6-13 from the field, and she was 4-9 on free throws. Then Moren seemed to mysteriously bench her for a crucial early 4th quarter stretch and then the game was over.
Not sure where I read it, but they said Holmes was 1-7 in the 2nd half. Plan was to make her go left and if she tried to go right to double down on her. Seemed to have worked.
Dakich still competing for biggest tool in America I see.
As an Iowa fan I love the firestorm but I agree with opposing fans—the media focus way too much on Caitlin at the expense of what is actually happening on the floor. Don’t blame them for being sick of it.
What makes this even more depressing is that supposedly the best officials would have been assigned to the WBB finals.
I agree, she was gassed in the 2nd half I thought.
Game was pretty fast.
Iowa‘s pace and conditioning are tough to combat. She’s a great player — I was impressed by her game.
Does Jonesy5960 think hawkeye54545 fails to appreciate what's going on in the women's game?
Yes he does. He certainly does.
I actually dislike the way they make it all about Clark, how are you great unless you are playing games that matter against good competition. I like it when they talk at least a little about how good the other team is. Of course, the counter is that the other team has make some plays that justify using the talking points. Indiana struggled to do that especially in the 2nd half.
Iowa doubled her a couple times in the first half and Holmes tossed it over her shoulder for a couple of easy scores. Iowa still doubled her in the second half but made her give it up. We saw in the first half when she got the ball one on one, she was unstoppable.
Caitlin handles all of the attention she gets, just as well as she plays the game. I doubt many players could do that. She's special in that way for sure.
Great win but two issues against Indiana, with a 20 plus point lead going into the 4th quarter Bluder needs to sit/rest Clark especially the way her teammates (Davis) were playing, secondly when she is in. She can’t be arguing every call that goes against her. It’s a bad look and takes away all the good things she’s done.
So you feel Clark shouldn't have played the 4th quarter. Wow. I don't see her arguing every call. She argues some, and I see multiple players doing the same.
I watched the game the next day, after reading the game thread, and didn’t think the officiating was nearly as bad as fans were saying. Dee Canter is probably the best official in the women’s game and she reffed.
So "it takes away ALL the good things she does " is this years winner for stupidest post on this forum. Just sayin..
Yea remember (Paige Bueckers) she tore her ACL a couple years ago in the last few minutes of a meaningless game for U Conn. I know know Clark’s passionate but it seems more like whining than anything else.
Oh well, I guess your right then. That certainly does take away ALL the good she does....
I couldn't agree with you more. People forget that she's only 21 years old. Has anyone ever seen a young woman like her handle all the obvious pressure ( on and off the court) in such a mature way?
