All I can say is because of Catlin Clark, I watch women's basketball now. Never had, ever, until the last 2 years. I love how she gives recognition to others around her. She is thoughtful. This is a rare quality in this day and age of me, me, me! Her game is awesome, and she is her!
@@EetsBack Not Yet, but she is Positioned and talented enough to do just that. IF she is even given the Chance. The Jury is still out on that one "IF", and it's a big one, considering the state of the current WNBA
I think the WNBA is pulling out all stops for her. Look at the number of WNBA and nba players who have praised her. Lisa Leslie, Rebecca lobo, Samantha white coach of the suns, espn analysts. I believe the league might not want her to fail.
As a Notre Dame WBB fan, I followed Caitlin's recruiting at Dowling Catholic for two years, and when she narrowed her choices to Iowa and Notre Dame in the fall of 2019 I was literally checking Twitter and the message boards every day LOL Have to admit I didn't know she would be this great, I was just impressed her how smooth she was with the ball and her passing ability. I was devastated when she picked Iowa (Even more so when I learned she was a silent ND commit) But I think it all worked out the better for Caitlin. She wanted to represent her state and Iowa was the perfect place for her game to grow the way it has. Maybe if she went to ND she would have won some championships maybe not. But i'm not sure she could have elevated the sport the way that she has at Iowa.
Notre Dame finished strong in these last few weeks of the regular season. Hopefully that carries over to the ACC tournament this week and for several rounds in the NCAA tournament as well. Unfortunately no Olivia Miles this year but Hannah Hidalgo has been so great in her freshman season and has carried this lack of depth team very well.
"I can't name five guys in college basketball..." God bless you for supporting women's sports. God bless you. And as someone who lives in IC and has watched her for three years, she has 15,000 screaming fans in the palm of her hand. When she calls on the crowd, it's like a jet engine taking off. And the Standing Ovations for the giants of the game who came to visit, that was totally classy all around.
I got lucky to see the game Hannah had 47 points. Live in CR and had no idea it was so easy to get to the arena. I'll be back to support the team next year and in the future.
It's about time that someone made the comparison between Caitlin Clark and Larry Bird. I've been saying that for two years. Her shooting and passing are Bird like. I get the Steph comparison, but it is her passing that sets her apart, and reminds me SO much of Larry Bird.
nope. its a terrible comparison. Actually she's more of a combination of nash's passing mixed with curry's scoring ability ie his range, moves and volume shooting. She also has stephs off ball movement. To me she is pretty much a combination of nash's passing and curry's scoring but at a womens level ofcourse. She plays absolutely nothing like bird. Her only real weakness is her defense imho.
To be quite honest, I think there are multiple teams lower ranked than Ohio state that are way better. They got this no.2 rank by beating this Iowa team. This was revenge for Iowa who let that previous confrontation get away from them.
@@shawnhenderson6861 It's steam rolled when you factor in how high OSUs defense is rated. The first game came down to foul trouble without the foul trouble I think OSU loses that game as well.
Lol. No crap. I don't know why people just can't let her have her time. It's not Caitlin's fault she had a line to play with and shot clock for that matter.
Most great college players, especially men don't stay more than a year. Which is sad... that's why half the records will never fall anymore. I don't care if she wins a title or not! You need 7 good solid players to win a title. One or two players can't win it alone.
Pete did it in 3 years. In 83 games vs 130 games for CC. Pistol Pete averaged 44 ppg in those 3 seasons. Pete Maravich is the greatest scorer of all time in college basketball
I'm just wondering why it matters that Pete was better to you? Honestly who gives a crap. They both are great. Saying one is better than the other is stupid
@@jdg48439Still pointless to try to compare: (1) Pete played three years; (2) no three-point line then and Pete took many shots of that length; (3) smaller women's ball goes in more easily; (4) how many shots taken is not relevant when comparing top scorers, since in that case someone who takes 2 shots per game might be the best scorer if only they took 40 per game instead lol. Caitlin is receiving her due, Pete is receiving his due, numerically she passed him, AND it's silly to compare them. All these things are true at the same time. "The greatest scorer" can be defined as most points all time or the most points per game.
I feel like it's a repeated record from last year. South Carolina has had close games. It will be interesting how they stack up against teams like Stanford, UCLA, Iowa, OSU, and even now LSU now that HVL is playing better. I can tell you after playing division 1 basketball, it's very hard to play when you have an undefeated record to protect. It's much easier to be underdogs because you can play with no fear. . . . Which is exactly why Clark had the game of her life last year.
Caitlin is a good person. She is loving, kind and considerate. That's my favorite thing about her. That's why I am a fan of CC. These athletes that are super at their sport and are a jerk......I never waste my time and energy and/or money following them.
Shannon Sharpe-Trae Young led the NCAA in scoring and assist as a freshman and in the same breath says we've never seen a player that can score and assist like her. Man SHUT UP!
Trae Young was not the only great player on his team. She is doing this with literally unknown people on her team and Trae Young did not average 32 points a game get all the hate out your mouth it’s embarrassing I know you aren’t touching any women
She's about to change the WNBA. Women's College Basketball has become way more popular than Men's College Basketball now. I can't even name a male college Basketball player besides Bronny
Caitlin Clark is going to be a WNBA version of Luka Doncic. Absolutely no weakness in her offensive game. She's going to be on Aja Wilson level imo. Maybe even past.
she's going to be the greatest offensive player ever when its all said and done. She's a very unique player and I can admit this as a man. She has steve nashs court vision and iq, alongside steph curry range and quick trigger/volume shooting ability. (from a womens level standpoint. Cant compare her to men) Her biggest weakness is her defense. She's a great rebounder but her defense is nonexistent for the most part.
@@Tony-jo9qr completely wrong! Clark is a much better scorer than the above mentioned. You cant compare them to her just because their white. They have different styles of play. Tbh the closest comparison in terms of style is steph curry but a womans version though she is a bit more selfless than curry and a little worse at off ball scoring ability than him. It's a small trade-off which makes sense considering the amount of assists clark averages. She has greater range and volume than ionescu as well as better off ball movement which closely mimics steph currys style of play. Her biggest weakness really is her defense. Reminds me of nash defense where it is pretty nonexistent tbh.
The first women's basketball game I watched beginning to end was Iowa LSU last year. Needless to say I've watched a lot more this year, mainly because of this woman
If she can go to the chip, This run is making me think of Danny Manning’s run to the ncaa chip at Kansas. No one can name his teammates during that run. He put them on his back.
I’m glad that he mentioned Bird and Majic because for awhile now I have been thinking that I have been thinking that the comparison that I could think of that best described Caitlin Clark was Bird and then after the championship game with LSU and what happened with Angel and her team had that same feel of the rivalry of what took place between Bird and Majic. The best part though was that men’s basketball was failing in the 1980s but due to Bird and Majic coming in they saved men’s basketball and here we are talking about how Caitlin has the ability to save and revolution the game of women’s basketball and make it popular for the first time and do just as Bird and Majic did in the 1980s. It is truly great to be be able to witness history in the making.
I wouldn't say that. Stephen Curry, Trajan Langdon, Andrew Goudelock, Dan Dickau, Kareem Rush, and Jon Scheyer are all up there for me if we're talking about pure 3-point shooters, and I'm just going off the top of my head, there are definitely a lot of people I'm missing.
At 1:55 I hate to correct you, but there was an NCAA championship game between two fairly significant players back in 1979, Larry Bird and Magic Johnson. Over 35 million people watched that game. When they arrived in the NBA, the NBA Finals were on tape delay. The league was on life support. Those men saved the league. We'll have to wait and see if the wonderful Ms. Clark can do the same for the WNBA. Maybe that league will finally make money for the first time.
Stephen Smith is right. She is interesting. You can have all the records but if people don't notice you can not force it to the fans. And I am one of that fan. ❤
Caitlin just signed a deal with Gainbridge Capital. Also, she has a deal with Hy Vee grocery, who didn't have stores in Indiana. Now, they're building several stores in the Indy area. Money is literally chasing her. Fever tickets are on fire. I just hope that a 22 y/o hooper can manage all of this attention and pressure to perform.
@@Darkknight2229 She broke his record? How is this woke? I’m so tired of people who use the term woke the wrong way. Pistol shot 18 more shots per game than she did 😂
I'm totally with you on that my guy, she plays against women not men, keep comparing men and women stats and you'll have more Lia Thomas's of the world
The question that must be asked is, "What is the attraction? Caitlin Clark or women's college basketball?" The answer will only come next year when we see the attendance at Iowa games. We also have to recognize the impact of social media and the saturation coverage of Clark this season. When Bird and Magic finished their careers in the spring of 79, ESPN did not exist. I knew who Larry Bird was through the Sporting News and other publications. Living in Denver, I could not see him play before the regional final of the NCAA Tournament.
It kills me to know that there are three African-American female basketball players that played Division I and Division II college basketball in the 1970s and 1980s that scored more than 3500 and 4200 points are not recognized, but are in the college Hall of Fame, are completely overlooked because the NCAA did not recognize women’s sports until the late 1980s. I find this to be absolutely ridiculous and so unjust that they are not recognized and spoken of with the same reverence that they are given to this white chick.
Obviously, logically, one cannot compare today"s game to yesterday's. I am all for everyone's rights, but this is not RIGHT. Much respect, Ms. Clark. BOL, throughout the year❤
Kaitlin made me think of Larry Bird as well, now she will just need a rival/s to make the WNBA something people are excited for. Larry Bird vs Magic Johnson saved the NBA.
After S.Car, I think there are at least 10 teams who have a decent shot at getting to that game; so odds aren't great for anyone, let alone winning that game.
She beat them last year and that SC team was better than this year. But Iowa used a great strategy vs SC, a Strategy that SC will see coming this year.
@@rayleigh8 No way last year's team is better than this year's squad. and last year's squad took Iowa to the wire. IF they meet again, i have no doubt SC wins big. Our offense is too much, and the defense is even better. S/O to Caitlin, tho...
@@CourtneyBritt-k5i you lost aliyah Boston who was your best player. She and cardoso were just too much for everybody. This is why Iowa packed the paint and dare SC to shoot from the outside.
@@rayleigh8 respectfully, it sounds like you haven't watched much of our girls this year. That crap where Clark waved off Raven at the 3 point line and refused to guard her last year will not fly. We are one of the best 3 point shooting teams. Paopao, Fulwiley, Raven, Bree? And as far as defense down low: Kamilla, Watkins, Feagin, Chloe? C'mon. Dawn has an answer for whoever the opponent is. Boston was prolly #2 all time in Columbia after A'ja, but we are a much more complete team.
No Czinano = No return trip to National Championship Game. But Clark choose to build a program herself rather than the easy route that other top players choose by going to top profile programs, for that; she is high above, elevated, supreme.
As and Iowa fan, I agree. Was discussing this very same point with a guy at work this morning. If two players around her have one game off they could be done.
She is absolutely one of the greatest players to ever be in college ball, but she's not the greatest scorer ever. She didn't average 44/gm with no 3's and score 3,600pts in 83 games. That's just the fact of it. That being said, I hope she tears through the tourney and wins it all after how last year went.
#DaFacts = CHERYL MILLER's the greatest female basketball player of ALL-TIME #PointblankPeriod #NoDebate These guys know that ALL of her accomplishments are MEANINGLESS if she doesn't win a NAT = she did the exact same things last season, then got BLOWN OUT by LSU, in the National Championship game = South Carolina looks WAY better than LSU did last season or this season #SoTheresThat
Angel reese is made for the wnba her style great defense player but offense need to be polish up as a slasher to the bucket but she comfortable with that post jump shot in she a team player
Ngl she got me watching these womens college games 😂. Its still an evolving game, but their games are pretty tough. Alot of real offense formations and motions, and surprisingly verryy physical defense lol. I also think the 1 and done aspect of mens CBB kind of ruins it for me. Alot of those guys are only there to get to the nba and are only worried about their draft stock. The women are required to play 3-4 years in college so it creates for some rivalries, storylines, etc.
Caitlin Clark brought in new fans. She brought in fans who have never watched women play basketball. She is white, so she attracted the white community who hardly watch any basketball more less watch women's basketball and it elevated the women's platform. kudos
It took Clark 130 games to score It took Pete 83 games Clark took 4 years Pete did it in 3 Clark had 3 point line Pete did not Add Pete’s freshman points To his total…. Clark is not even close
@ronmiller2932 Plus in Pete's era of college basketball it looked predominantly white, especially for the deep south teams. The players look so small, slow and skinny and definitely less athletic in Pete's era.
@renovo56 I agree with you 100%. I think today's girls of the 2020s for high school state champions and top level u18 AAU girls 🏀 teams would probably not just win but dominate Pete's team as well as any D1 men's teams of the late 1960s.
I think Caitlin is awesome but can we stop CONVENIENTLY talking about women's records and men's records in the same breath? They are NOT the same. Pistol Pete has his record and Caitlin has hers. Same with Tara VanDerveer and Coack K. Same with Novak Djokovic and Margaret Court. The paths were different and should be respected as such.
All I can say is because of Catlin Clark, I watch women's basketball now. Never had, ever, until the last 2 years. I love how she gives recognition to others around her. She is thoughtful. This is a rare quality in this day and age of me, me, me! Her game is awesome, and she is her!

At 1:55 I hate to correct you, but there was an NCAA championship game between two fairly significant players back in 1979, Larry Bird and Magic Johnson. Over 35 million people watched that game. When they arrived in the NBA, the NBA Finals were on tape delay. The league was on life support. Those men saved the league. We'll have to wait and see if the wonderful Ms. Clark can do the same for the WNBA. Maybe that league will finally make money for the first time.
If the WNBA plays this right, Clark and Resse can be there Magic and Bird
💯
Resse is average lol no offense but her stats are average compared to the greats of women's ball.
@128JayB why would numbers matter? Both of them put butts in seats, and what does the WNBA need? I stand by my statement
Stephen Smith is right. She is interesting. You can have all the records but if people don't notice you can not force it to the fans. And I am one of that fan. ❤
No she is not. Cheryl miller is
cheryl miller didn't break the scoring record did she
She’s already the greatest women’s college basketball player ever.
Caitlin just signed a deal with Gainbridge Capital. Also, she has a deal with Hy Vee grocery, who didn't have stores in Indiana. Now, they're building several stores in the Indy area. Money is literally chasing her. Fever tickets are on fire. I just hope that a 22 y/o hooper can manage all of this attention and pressure to perform.
Andrea was spitting facts today, can't even lie
She's great, so natural on TV
I don’t understand why they compare what she did to pistol Pete. Cmon now
Because this woke culture tells us we should care that's why lol
Exactly, weird. Pete never had an impact on winning
@@Darkknight2229 She broke his record? How is this woke? I’m so tired of people who use the term woke the wrong way. Pistol shot 18 more shots per game than she did 😂
Because thats the record he broke obviously
I'm totally with you on that my guy, she plays against women not men, keep comparing men and women stats and you'll have more Lia Thomas's of the world

The question that must be asked is, "What is the attraction? Caitlin Clark or women's college basketball?" The answer will only come next year when we see the attendance at Iowa games. We also have to recognize the impact of social media and the saturation coverage of Clark this season. When Bird and Magic finished their careers in the spring of 79, ESPN did not exist. I knew who Larry Bird was through the Sporting News and other publications. Living in Denver, I could not see him play before the regional final of the NCAA Tournament.
It kills me to know that there are three African-American female basketball players that played Division I and Division II college basketball in the 1970s and 1980s that scored more than 3500 and 4200 points are not recognized, but are in the college Hall of Fame, are completely overlooked because the NCAA did not recognize women’s sports until the late 1980s. I find this to be absolutely ridiculous and so unjust that they are not recognized and spoken of with the same reverence that they are given to this white chick.
Who scored more than 4,200 points?
They really hyping this up😂
She’s the only women’s player that has excited me
Lol. It moved a little bit!
Swoopes somewhere punching the air
Obviously, logically, one cannot compare today"s game to yesterday's. I am all for everyone's rights, but this is not RIGHT. Much respect, Ms. Clark.
BOL, throughout the year❤
No matter how many threes, how far, or at what clip…it still doesn’t compare to the “SKY HOOK”. Championship level signature move.
Well Kareem was 7'2 , how many people could block any of his shots
@@soda8736 & yet still said let me add this sky hook
this girl is amazing. she reminds me of steph curry and a jj reddick at duke mix with her own pizzazz.
Kaitlin made me think of Larry Bird as well, now she will just need a rival/s to make the WNBA something people are excited for. Larry Bird vs Magic Johnson saved the NBA.
Angel Reese big mad 🤣
After S.Car, I think there are at least 10 teams who have a decent shot at getting to that game; so odds aren't great for anyone, let alone winning that game.
Ok Stephen A we know you are inking the biggest contract in ESPN history but Larry Bird? Ya'll doing too much right now. 🤣🤣🤣
No way she beats Dawn's SC squad, but if she does the impossible, I'll give her her props
She beat them last year and that SC team was better than this year. But Iowa used a great strategy vs SC, a Strategy that SC will see coming this year.
@@rayleigh8 No way last year's team is better than this year's squad. and last year's squad took Iowa to the wire. IF they meet again, i have no doubt SC wins big. Our offense is too much, and the defense is even better. S/O to Caitlin, tho...
@@CourtneyBritt-k5i you lost aliyah Boston who was your best player. She and cardoso were just too much for everybody. This is why Iowa packed the paint and dare SC to shoot from the outside.
@@rayleigh8 respectfully, it sounds like you haven't watched much of our girls this year. That crap where Clark waved off Raven at the 3 point line and refused to guard her last year will not fly. We are one of the best 3 point shooting teams. Paopao, Fulwiley, Raven, Bree? And as far as defense down low: Kamilla, Watkins, Feagin, Chloe? C'mon. Dawn has an answer for whoever the opponent is. Boston was prolly #2 all time in Columbia after A'ja, but we are a much more complete team.
@@rayleigh8the refs helped.
What if she doesn't
you just a hater
@@Love2Musgravethat’s not hating, South Carolina is by far the best team in the women’s bball
No Czinano = No return trip to National Championship Game. But Clark choose to build a program herself rather than the easy route that other top players choose by going to top profile programs, for that; she is high above, elevated, supreme.
Caitlyn is definitely the best player in NCAAW. But Iowa is likely not the best team in NCAAW
As and Iowa fan, I agree. Was discussing this very same point with a guy at work this morning. If two players around her have one game off they could be done.
She is absolutely one of the greatest players to ever be in college ball, but she's not the greatest scorer ever. She didn't average 44/gm with no 3's and score 3,600pts in 83 games. That's just the fact of it. That being said, I hope she tears through the tourney and wins it all after how last year went.
#DaFacts = CHERYL MILLER's the greatest female basketball player of ALL-TIME #PointblankPeriod #NoDebate These guys know that ALL of her accomplishments are MEANINGLESS if she doesn't win a NAT = she did the exact same things last season, then got BLOWN OUT by LSU, in the National Championship game = South Carolina looks WAY better than LSU did last season or this season #SoTheresThat
Angel reese is made for the wnba her style great defense player but offense need to be polish up as a slasher to the bucket but she comfortable with that post jump shot in she a team player
Out of all of the #1 WNBA draft picks, Caitlin Clark will be the one with the most Turnovers in her college career...as of today, she has 612!
One of the BLM leaders said the over day that it was racist and it is a type white supremacy for us to celebrate a white person like Caitlin Clark.
Yea we should listen to those idiots
Shorty on the screen next to Shannon is fine af no cap
She's great but I'll take Taurasi,and Juju over her
Ballin ! if anyone has anything other to say is just hating.
Ngl she got me watching these womens college games 😂. Its still an evolving game, but their games are pretty tough. Alot of real offense formations and motions, and surprisingly verryy physical defense lol.
I also think the 1 and done aspect of mens CBB kind of ruins it for me. Alot of those guys are only there to get to the nba and are only worried about their draft stock. The women are required to play 3-4 years in college so it creates for some rivalries, storylines, etc.
It’s time to stop Shannon from talking basketball Lmaoo 😂😂😂
Finally a woman not kinda throwing shade on her
Kareem is the most impactful
Bill Walton was just as impactful at UCLA
She's great but she's not Maya Moore
Caitlin Clark brought in new fans. She brought in fans who have never watched women play basketball. She is white, so she attracted the white community who hardly watch any basketball more less watch women's basketball and it elevated the women's platform. kudos
She will go down as the GOAT Women’s bball player
Shannon Sharpe needs to be fired asap since he can't name 5 men's basketball players at the juncture.
Agreed
It took Clark 130 games to score
It took Pete 83 games
Clark took 4 years
Pete did it in 3
Clark had 3 point line
Pete did not
Add Pete’s freshman points
To his total…. Clark is not even close
Once again, he also averaged 38 shots per game in college and Caitlin averages 19.
@ronmiller2932 Plus in Pete's era of college basketball it looked predominantly white, especially for the deep south teams. The players look so small, slow and skinny and definitely less athletic in Pete's era.
Black players didnt even play in the conference back then.The women that play today are way better than the boys Pete played against.
@renovo56 I agree with you 100%. I think today's girls of the 2020s for high school state champions and top level u18 AAU girls 🏀 teams would probably not just win but dominate Pete's team as well as any D1 men's teams of the late 1960s.
She'd be catapulted to GOAT status
She's a generational talent for sure.
I still think Maya Moore is the greatest women’s basketball player I have ever seen.
I think Caitlin is awesome but can we stop CONVENIENTLY talking about women's records and men's records in the same breath? They are NOT the same. Pistol Pete has his record and Caitlin has hers. Same with Tara VanDerveer and Coack K. Same with Novak Djokovic and Margaret Court. The paths were different and should be respected as such.
Remember race plays a factor
I hate these algorithms. From watching first take to women's basketball.
Lobo
She raised the awareness of Women's College Basketball to heights it had never reach before as well!!
What happened to Kareem
