Well, it's finally over

Funny how we're back to "women's basketball sucks" as part of his meltdown. The mask is off for Hok Fan now that the fun's over.
I never heard of her before the final last year. I finally watched the last two games to see what the fuss was.
I was really disappointed overall. I have no idea what the fuss is. I saw a very good offensive player, but I wonder if other girls were given free rein to take 30 footers how many they might make. She isn't a very efficient player, gets lazy at times and doesn't really defend at all. Lot of complaining as well, not sure if that's her thing or just the big game pressure.
Those 30 footers are just really inefficient, the reason people don't take those is you can almost always get a better shot. It's just math.
I was really hoping to see something generational, but I just saw the same thing as Allen Iverson scoring 30 points on 15 free throws and taking 25 shots with the ball in his hands all night. Nothing generational Al all about that.
I was more impressed with the girl from CR as a player.

Hey, he traveled “all over the Midwest” to watch ISU this March! Cry me a river with this “good for the state” ********
She makes 30 footers or layups…. no mid range game at all. That’s why I think Juju has a more well rounded skill level offensively than CC.
DSM>KC>OMA = "all over the Midwest"
And my point is that many of these casual Hok fans won't be there next year since the spectacle is gone.
Depends on how "efficiency" is defined. Lots of players can shoot 37.8% on threes when they take 3.5 of them per game. Very few players can shoot 37.8% when they take 13.7 of them per game.
I think Iowa fans actually do care about football, but they know they aren't relevant in it. They know the West has been a big joke, they know they've fallen on their faces and been embarrassed by Big 10 championship teams. Clark loaned them the idea they were relevant for a few months, good for them. They seem to need that.
But they knew the hype was just something they were borrowing so you got to give them points for realism.
You know how there's always some random dude in hawk gear at every away game somehow?
Oh the yeah but what they said is worse defense. I love it when HOKS say horrible things. I hate it when dumbasses that follow the team I support make our fanbase look petty.
I don't disagree with your post but there's no denying CC carried the popularity of WBB this year on her back. It's just the truth. Now that she's done the big question is whether WBB will remain as relevant as she's helped make it, and it seems like there are some who are actually hoping it doesn't just so they can say "oh I thought CC changed the game and transformed its popularity but apparently she failed." Very weird to be rooting for small crowds and a return to obscurity, but I know the hate for her runs deep.
Tell me you’re a part of the problem without telling me you’re part of the problem.
I'm not gonna read this whole thread. Haven't been paying attention, except for the last week or two. I've got nothing against Clarke. She accomplished a lot, and is OK in my book. Period.
Too bad she chose the Hawks, but such is life. Just remember that her brother was a Cyclone, and we all loved him. It's not that hard.
