You just created this and convinced yourself it’s a widespread viewpoint. Good job…
People have been annoyed with some of the men's team when they start to lose their cool on the court. I think Sandfort has been called out a few times for talking at the refs. JBo and Cmac certainly annoyed some fans with a couple of emotions in the past.
Exactly. Male athletes do not get a pass when they act like jackasses.
I would say annoyed is way different than what people have said about Clark.
If a man does this the attitude is different.Double Standard. HE is passionate! I agree she could tone it down some. Ref's need to be better too!

Being intense, competitive is one thing and CC certainly has that. It's part of what makes her a great player. Complaining when she doesn't get the calls, showing up the ref, the occasional overreaction to contact and some of the other stuff is what people are talking about. Her Dad seemed to think so.
That said, today seemed a bit out-of-character. No doubt fatigue played a part. Can't imagine a more demanding season...on and off the court. She's handled it very well.
Yes, I would and do often. I don't care for it from them either. But lean into that predictable cliche'. Male players get the same kind of criticism (starting with the biggest player in the game, LeBron). Note that much of the criticism CC gets (be it right or wrong) comes from other female players, too.

Wowzer - you need to buy a lottery ticket tonight!😎
Try to understand that NO one in the game has her constant pressure, Few have the ball in their hands on literally every play, and must lift the entire team with her skill, even if they don't see the game at the speed she see's it. The pressure is ridiculous. She's commented about how hard it is when you MUST be on every game. Critics make stupid comments about how she isn't truly great if she doesn't win a natty. It drives her. She wants it so badly, because she knows if she doesn't wear that Wonder woman cape the next 5 games they aren't sniffing that game.

Why didn't Hanna play more than 10 minutes?? Needed more physical play??
Somebody posted a tweet that she was not feeling well. Bluder said she wasn't going to play her if she didn't have to.
Good catch: I was thinking the same. They looked all of that two weeks off for sure for a bit. I think they are fully engaged at this point however

Yes, I wasn't a fan of Curtis Stinson. Not nearly the player that CC is, but his on the court behavior was embarrassing.
Good point. But both teams had 2 weeks off. So... Anyway, they'll need a better game to win Monday. Go Hawks!
She had 3 fouls midway through the 3rd quarter. A technical would have been the fourth. When she called time out, and likely fouled several times, she bounced the ball off her head to the sidelines. That could have been a technical along with several other times. Lisa needs to sit her down before Monday. I’m sure she is really feeling the pressure now.
Nobody will act like a bigger lunatic on the court than Samantha Prahalis. She was certifiable.
Well my kids are probably older than most posters. Here with grandkids.
Portions are so big anymore we split meals when out of town.
Well I love CC to death but she needs to get the head screwed on tight if they are going to have a run. I’m with her dad on this one. Hopefully this was just a blip due to being off so long. Not sure but the bitching and complaining anytime it does not work out her way offensively is a bit tiring. I think they had a good game plan against CC but the balance of the team came through.
Your last paragraph said it best, AND yet few here want to cut her any slack at all. I think we're seeing what these two years of scrutiny, and the pressure of dragging this team toward another championship is doing to her. Better teams then this one have failed. They said during the broadcast that in the 40-50 years of womens NCAA basketball only ONE team has lost the title and then returned to the game the next season.
What. HC played Thursday. How did they have two weeks off? On top of which could there possibly be a team with less pressure on them to win then a 40 point dog 16 seed playing at Carver?
