Time for a Real Discussion About Caitlin Clark

I think I can say with absolute certainty that a Caitlin Clark led team in 1A would have had no trouble winning a state championship.
CC’s parents would never have allowed her to play on a 1A team. 1A girls would have saw through her in her freshman year. They are a lot more perceptive than 5A girls.

It's crap like this that makes me realize just how underappreciated Ashley Joens was. She was beat on night after night. No matter how good or bad things were, she stayed positive and just grinded. She never got enough credit due to playing most of her career at the same time as CC but man she was all Iowa State...
and she was a genuinely nice person, always smiled and said hello in a busy restaurant. cc is tolerant too but can't beat ashley!

CC only had 4 pts in the 2nd half…. she doesn’t get any blame?

Oh yeah…. forgot…. can’t criticize the almighty CC…. my bad!

Kxno this morning was all about how the refs screwed them, how the pressure on the refs is too great on the road to call a fair game, and then Ross had the balls to throw in his observations that Houston didn't get any favorable calls against ISU this week. UNREAL.
because of course they did!

How many of her points are off of crazy crap like that?

I'm a pretty vocal CC supporter on here, but this is the once piece of it that kills me. You of course see the viral logo threes, of which there's maybe 1 or 2 a game. But so much of her success lies in the way she's officiated. It's stuff like this. It's attacking the rim and jumping into people to initiate contact.

And to be clear, I don't blame her one bit. Working refs is part of the game and it's obviously working for her. But if there's one part of the CC saga I can't stand is watching her get babied by refs, and then watching their fanbase try and complain about her not getting calls, of all things. She's a great player, who undeniably gets a very, very favorable whistle.
 
Ross was always and will always be a hawk homer. He and Travis both should have been fired when they said they were tempted to root for KSU over ISU in football just because some fans said some mean things about Iowa
would be smart to give cyclone exposure, like they had with Heather. but media in iowa pays no attention to that, and still claims to be unbiased. heck justin even covers isu games for kasi and they don't lean on that. stupid of them

I'm sorry but you can't end up on the floor on every drive...

Interesting CC’s comments after the game. Very nice, sweet. All good comments about Indiana. But in between the lines, here is what she said. “They were physical with me. I should have been physical back, but didn’t.“
 
What happened to this girl. She was on a nice path at Iowa state. No she seems to suck


I think it was pretty clear that she didn't like Bill's coaching style.

To be fair, he isn't for everyone.

Meh, she's averaging <7 FTs a game, not all that crazy. Less than JuJu and several other Gs, and way less than Reese.
