Time for a Real Discussion About Caitlin Clark

So she never was part of a team that won a HS conference title even? That is pretty eye opening if true (or even if she did win a HS conference title, it's still pretty surprising).
According to varsity bound, CC, in her senior year, didn’t even make it to state.They got beat in the regionals to one of the Sioux City teams. Dowling was outscored in the second half 37-22. Kinda sounds like what CC did in Lincoln and Bloomington.

I think I can sum this up that will support all of your points, Miller, Moore and Stewart are all better than CC... perhaps even a few more names can be thrown in there.

CC is, simply put, a player that shoots a TON of shots per game and scores a TON of points. While that type of play puts up gaudy numbers, it does not equate to titles, championships, or dynasties. CC is not the greatest women's player of all time. She can score a lot, but that is where it ends.

IIrC, it was Diews team that beat Dowling.

Yep. Diew was on that SC East team that knocked out Clark/Dowling.

@BCClone beat me by a second.
 
It’s not so much her supporting cast. I’ve said this before, her usage rate is astronomically high.

Her usage rate is 40.2% this season. The NBA single season high is Russell Westbrook at 41.5% in 16-17. Look at the top 15 usage rates in the NBA for a single season. Not one championship in any of those seasons. Makes for great individual seasons, but you can’t flow the offense that much through one player and have championship-level team success. I’d argue she needs to defer more, but I don’t want to start a fight with Hawks

Yeah It's gotten real bad. This hoops season they refuse to talk about Iowa State because Iowa is terrible... Tuesday morning the majority of the Iowa State discussion was about how Houston isn't that good and that the Big 12 is allowed to play a style of basketball the rest of the conferences aren't. I was like "oh, you mean defense"?

Really sad because a team in this state doing well should be good material to discuss. Instead they come off as bitter b******.

Ross and Travis a bad for each other in that regard. The just feed off each others bitterness. It works for a black and gold glasses show like WHO's Sound Off but not for central Iowa radio.

I remember when I would listen to WHO during work. Jan Mikkelson would come on and Ross was his ops guy. Ross was bitter back then and hated everything ISU. He hasn’t changed, he’s still a bitter, grumpy, ISU hating person.

Didn’t realize he was with Jan then.
 
Yes, it was. She had 27, Clark had 40 and Diews outclassed her.
Look at the quarter scores - notice a pattern.

Interesting stat - Sioux City East had to beat DM Roosevelt in the regional semifinal game that went overtime. On the DM Roosevelt team was freshman Ariana Jackson. AJ started as a freshman at DMR.

He's one of the few people willing to work for the wage offered by KXNO so he gets the gig. The guys always been a clown and it appears he still is one.

Well I'm a bitter, grumpy Iowa-hating person. So **** him, whoever he is.
 
I don't mind Ross when he's calm and the issue isn't personal to him. Always appreciated his perspective...however anything against his Hawkeyes and he's the most irrational emotional unlistenable person.
Remember his Iowa vs Iowa State basketball rant?
