Watch the replay, there was a second fake with the ball and Clark reacted. Very clearly not intentional in my opinion. Not sure why Clark reacted as I do think she made contact.
Is this a clean basketball play?

It can be. But it’s pretty amazing to watch/see how much faster Clark is compared to almost everyone else. Not just the physical speed of play but mental. It can cause turnovers at times. So many quick passes to teammates that aren’t in the right place yet, not expecting it or just flat out can’t catch the heat.
That can’t be true as many on this board feel there is a B1G conspiracy against the Hawks and that they get the short end of the stick on nearly every call.
I saw it live and you are correct in your analysis of the play. Was a great game to watch and congratulations on the win
Don’t mind Fran he lives in his own world.
FWIW, many on the IU boards feel there is a B1G conspiracy against IU, etc. 😄
Folks are folks my friend. I’ve been to the great state of Iowa many times—love love LOVE Iowa City. One of the truly beautiful and imo underrated college towns in the country.
It’s uncanny how many different sets of fans think they are always getting cheated. Those Gold, Crimson, Black, Blue, Red colored glasses seem to always cloud judgment 🙂
Best of luck going forward!
And by the way, appreciate the reception on this board.
With very, very few exceptions you guys are extremely hospitable and gracious, and the back and forth is respectful.
Kudos and thanks!

You could certainly "lower your shoulder" if you were falling in that direction. I don't believe that she had "intent" to harm Clark, and I don't see how you can tell "intent" by looking at the replay....
fine, then she should have bodied her and not dropped down and went for her around the knees. don’t care what she had done in the pass. that was not a basketball play. YOU DO NOT GO AFTER A PLAYERS KNEES. plus she continued to roll into Clark. totally uncalled for.
Not surprising a thread titled “Is this a clean basketball play?” piqued the interest of a Wisconsin fan.She went to the Woodbury school of eye poking.
I know I'm a visitor here, but I don't understand. Are you saying that Grace Berger or Mackenzie Holmes might have been injured on this play too?
Who? Get lost.
Correct, you do not “go after” a player’s knees. No one did that.
Also, why are you yelling?

I’m yelling because if someone did that t
Because it is exactly what I would have done if a player had ever taken a cheap shot an went after my knees. That is just not done and not accepted. Lucky hawk coaches do not allow for retaliation,
You thinking you speak for this board…And the board's collective reply:
For ****s sake she launched herself into Caitlin's legs. It's pretty obvious. Take your Crimson colored glasses off.
And at the 4:20 mark of the third quarter Clark deliberately poked Moore-McNeill in the eyes. And then Clark whined to the refs.
And at the 7:00 mark of the second quarter Clark very similarly “launched” into Moore-McNeill’s legs. It was dangerous and could have injured Moore-McNeill. Happened because there was a pump fake on a three. Gold glasses: an Iowa poster here said the eye poke was justified because Moore-McNeill “raised her shoulder,” not even a pump fake.
And early in the first quarter before things went south Clark hit a three and then stared down the IU bench. So good for her on that one.
But the IU team didn’t whine or blame “a bad game from our post” like Clark did in the post-game. They didn’t stare down the Iowa bench after makes or whine to the refs. By the way, Czinano is pure class and never does any of that either. Neither does Stuelke (sp) or any of the other Iowa players. Clark is the most gifted player on the court, but there’s a reason other teams’ fans don’t appreciate her, and it’s not because she’s good(and she absolutely is). You’ll never see Diamond Miller or Grace Berger get reactions to their attitudes.
So Clark loves the spotlight? When you love the spotlight people notice more than just the one physical play by Clark’s opponent. They notice the whole game.
There are more than few Iowa fans on this board that are extremely gracious and “get it.” If you don’t? That’s your prerogative, but accusing me of “Crimson glasses” when I said the foul on Clark’s 3 was dangerous and arguably should have been a flagrant? Geez.

Guys guys guys, I think the best way to solve our differences here is just to simply have Indiana lose at Iowa the next time they play.
Problem solved, and everyone gets what they want!

Remember when Woodbury kept poking guys in the eyes? People said it was dirty, but I always thought he was just clumsy & had slow reactions.
Actually, Indiana caught Iowa on a poor night with poor 3-point shooting, more turnovers than normal, and Monica C in early foul trouble which limited her effectiveness. I fully expect Iowa to win the re-match in Iowa City in a few weeks.
