Is everything bad for the women's game in your opinion? UConn is bad, SC is bad, Cardoso is bad..... etc, etc. How about CC's constant whining, crying, and faking injuries, etc? Is that good for young girls to copy?
They're saying that it sucks she wasn't able to shine because she was on such a good team.

SC’s offensive game plan has actually been really good. They’re getting a lot of looks at the rim and offensive boards while not falling into the trap of a million mid-range jumpers. Defensively they took about 8 minutes to figure anything out.

Officiating is exactly what I expected it to be- bad on both ends. No rhyme or reason for calls or no calls. Iowa has gotten hammered in a few drives and no call but then CC gets breathed on 30 ft from the hoop and it’s a foul.

After watching Audi’s “travel” calls this year you’d need to take 6 points off board for SC. Tough to say Iowa is getting breaks with that alone.

JFC dude, the amount of vitriol I've read from you just in 2 pages is enough. We get it, you don't like Caitlin Clark or anything to do with Iowa. Maybe best to find something else to do if a women's game has you this worked up.

Yeah superfriends is bad. It’s bad for college wrestling too fwiw. Vegas was only taking odds for second place.

CC whining to the ref and not getting back on defense (which happens all the time)... SC gets a layup.

These are the things that make her not the best women's basketball player. Best offensive player ever... yes.... but not best player. There's others that are better all around players.

I also said they are getting hammered at the rim and there are no calls. CC is getting breaks, the rest of the team is not.

And traveling is absurdly broken in the women’s game. No one benefits from that because no one knows what one is or isn’t.

I agree. Good offensive player and horrible defensive player. Not raising her arms when UCONN was shooting 3 pointer is totally unacceptable.

SC can just rebound over Iowa in spite of being boxed out. Seems like all of the bounces in the Final Four come off the rim and board really hard and long.
