Time for a Real Discussion About Caitlin Clark

[qwerty]

She has 3X as many shots as next closest player on team.
CC: 167 shots in 8 games = 21 per game
Kate Martin: 58 shots in 8 games = 7 per game
Entire team: 518 shots in 8 games = 64.8 per game
CC takes 1 out of every 3 shots for Iowa (and that includes while sitting on the bench in early season blowouts)

Remember when Hok fans called UGA a bunch of thugs for this brutal assault on Queen Caitlin in last years' tourney?

I've never seen this before but it's completely hilarious. You can be the greatest athlete to ever play your game...or you can fake-hurl yourself on the ground like a crying helpless actress. You can't be both.

She went about 15 feet further on that fake fall than would have been understandable.

I thought Caitlin's major was marketing, not acting.

I can only imagine Hawk fan's thoughts if someone like Angel Reese pulled this. I'm sure they would be civilized and absolutely not racist.

 

[CyNews]

In Caitlyn's defense, even if she was a total punk like this every game she'd probably still be handling the spotlight better than Angel seems to be this year. Who knows what is going on there.

no.

 

[CyNews]

**** off, you’re really defending that ****.

Apparently comes here to get a decent message board.

 

[laminak]

These days... Larry, Magic and Jordan certainly never talked trash. Trash talk is great, acting like a toddler not so much.

Magic was a trash talker? Bird and Jordan were legendary trash talkers, however haven't heard much about Magic.

 

[BillBrasky4Cy]

I can only imagine how bad she'd have to be as a personality to manage if Mulkey benched her.

I friggin hate Mulkey but no one player is above her or her program. She won't stands for that. It's quite the opposite watching Bluder ride Clark's coattails.

 

[Cyballzz]

Magic was a trash talker? Bird and Jordan were legendary trash talkers, however haven't heard much about Magic.

Magic said he did it one time and did it to Jordan when they were on the run up to the '92 Olympics. It evidently went poorly for Magic and Jordan capped it off by telling Magic "there's a new sheriff in town."

Trying to picture Bill’s reaction if one of our players did something like this

I'm not sure what Bill would do but I imagine it would involve someone transferring...

 

[BillBrasky4Cy]

This "If it was mens basketball" take is so bizarre. If the top player in men's basketball used two hands to shove a person to the ground it would be talked about A LOT. I understand inequality still exists to this day, but this is not it folks.

No, flops and pushes and technical fouls happen everyday in men’s basketball. It is never news. She got baited into a T, big deal. She isn’t any worse of a human being because of that. The haters need to let it go, she is really good at basketball. She is a target for everyone now, she will get better at not falling into the traps, but her edge is part of what makes her so good. Let it go…

Say what you want but even the Hawk Homers on KXNO's Morning Drive said that it was a really bad look for Clark.

 

[Lineup]

she is just a plain ****

Does anyone here really think Bill would sign someone who'd do that?

 

[CyNews]

no.

Clark doesn’t really play defense. See championship game.

 

[Cyched]

Didn’t we recruit Clark? To be fair I don’t think you can’t offer such a high rated in state prospect, but we would’ve taken her if she wanted to come to Ames

 

[Primetime26]

There is a lot of Sqwauk Twitter saying it was a flop and Clark was just protecting herself. There is a difference between flopping and baiting a major hothead into a two-handed shove and letting yourself get pushed down.

Yep had two hawk fans tell me it was a flop and its a shame what people will do to tarnish CC name..

Hok fans should know what a flop is since CC is the Queen of Flops.

You know this how?
