That step back 3 from Clark was filthy!
This ⬆️
Paigeys instant answer, was GOLD!!
Suddenly, I'm watching women's basketball. Once I heard that women's basketball needed dunking to make it exciting. Caitlin Clark said hold my beer and did it by being a phenomenal and entertaining shooter. Much success to her. ❤❤❤
You must be bored.. Womens basketball should have 9ft rims and nba style dunking
@@ok_big_ben_ok1315yet here you are watching and commenting on a women’s basketball video 🤡
Never needed dunking that's just some idiots talking dumb
@@ok_big_ben_ok1315that makes no sense whatsoever. Try stopping after 5 Bud lights next time
You keep writing the same post on every video. Stop it.
Caitlin Clark and Paige Bueckers are the best players I've ever watched.
I agree they both are talented
@@michaellong5655 Exactly.
Haven’t been watching long I see 😂😂
P is the goat
You gotta watch more because Maya Moore was the absolute truth!
Caitlin basketball IQ is ridiculous
She a baller
She about to enjoy those millions soon.
@@chrishartley1928 Already has. Gatorade, Nike, State Farm, Etc..
She's a bit ruthless, as all greats are
And how did you measure her IQ?
I love Caitlyn Clark but I think Bueckers should get the same recognition
paige bueckers proved she is the most overrated player in WNCAA
She has to prove it this upcoming season.
@@lecowardjamesshe gotta earn that just like Clark did tf
Why, did she break the all-time NCAA Div I scoring record? Oh, no, wait, that was Caitlin.
Paige is a great player but in order to be a superstar you need to at least be very good and have the IT factor. CC has the IT factor.
I LOVED CAITLIN BOUNCING THE BALL OFF OF PAIGE
That was a heads up play
Paige should have known better
That was a high IQ play
That was the play of the game. Fr.
She’s such a g
Coldest step back 3 I've seen for a long time
This is the first time in my life I've ever watched a women's basketball game. I was pretty impressed. I appreciate the skill aspect of the game, than the high flying dunking. Women's college basketball more interesting than men's right now. Glad women are doing well with the sport.
These two are gonna be the Magic and Bird of the WNBA
bueckers and clark going be crazy in wnba
Clark definitely is not. 😂😅
@@dot0422what type of delusion is this😂😂
@Dee_65 Clark aka Jerry Seinfeld delusion. 😅🤣😂
@@dot0422 Uhhh, this post didn't age too well, lol
@@vexotimmer2675 It sure did age well. Clark aka Jerry Senfield is doing what she is supposed to do as the first round draft pick. She isn't doing anything spectacular. If she didn't have Boston her stats would be average at best.
Haven't watched basketball since the kings had Webber, Bibby and seeing all the hype around Caitlin brought me to watch the last 2 games and she did not disappoint. Whatever team she plays on I am a fan and will be watching.
Edwards arm was parallel with the floor, and her elbow was out, and she was clearly moving to the left... in front of the ref. Foul? Blatant.
uconn had a 12 point lead and they blaming the refs that they lost.
paige has no heart,i WILL NEVER WASTE MONEY ON WATCH HER ANYMORE,SHE JUST OVERRATED,DISAPPEARED IN CRUNCH TIME,AFRAID TO TAKES SGHOTS,SHE WASTE MY TIME
And what do you do for a living? Blaming others through the keyboard? Wake up@lecowardjames
Lost - ummm, nobody blaming the refs that they lost. Most people wanted to see a final shot, make or miss. Players decide. It would have been a tough shot either way.
@@madgreek8668 Oh, yes they are - lots of people blaming the refs. Of course, that's what people do after almost every close game.
uconn were jumping all over clark & grabbing all night. i suppose they had to, but im glad they lost.
dont blame the ref bad calls or not if you play a sport yk there is bad calls you have to let the score talk and no ref could have changed that 12point lead yall choked and thats on you
Well, except women’s ncaa hoops does have a long history of poor officiating. And where do you get choking from? If you play any sport, you know that performance is uneven, and often based on momentum and adjustments back and forth. All of that is normal and none of it is choking.
Yeah, but they gotta let that last play go tho. Horrible time to call a screen foul. 💯
@@madgreek8668 ok and you can’t expect a ref to be on your side and just like ucon said the game should have not got that close one play didn’t lose the basketball game they made mistakes do you really think a coach trains there player to relie on a ref to make a game win no they had a 12 point lead and choked they had it in the bag a blew it go make more excuses watch the press cause ucon ant making any they messed up.
The amount of cheating the refs may have to do Sunday... to get her a ring 🙄 . I hope they let the players decide the championship game.
@@RapSensei ye fr it was bad call but that rebound is what screwed them but again one or two or 3 bad calls don’t make or lose a game they just didn’t score enough and keep there lead and the rebound they didn’t get really screwed them
More fun than the current NBA.
The basketball IQ was crazy by both teams in crunch time 🤪🧐
UCONN PLAYED CAITLIN THE TOUGHEST
UNDER 25 POINTS IS IMPRESSIVE.
Iowa Gabbie Marshall played Paige tough too which is equally impressive. She only had 3 points in the entire 4th quarter. This was a major defensive game
Maybe if uconn player didnt add an elbow jab onto that illegal screen , the ref might not have called it..think about that .. ref cant let blatant deliberate violence just go by unchecked . If violence toward a player with an elbow jab wins the game for uconn, how would that be percieved ? Only so much a ref can ignore , no matter the score or time left ..
Spot on!
This game was more physical then any nba game in 5 years
i can see why this gets more views than the NBA
Who are we supposed to feel bad for here? UConn, who always has the best recruits, has won a million titles, and no doubt had their fair share of friendly calls over the years? The fans? Who get to see the best player in women's college basketball go for the title? South Carolina? Who is licking their chops either way, but this way gets a bigger audience?
Exactly, UConn has had a million calls go their way and they’ve won 11 titles these people are having a short memory
And UConn gets an all star draft class every year. Might as well be crying for the Yankees.
Caitlin Clark " the girl who gravitate women basketball to the stratosphere "

Now I'm wondering when Caitlyn Clark's fight will be!
Now I'm a fan of Iowa and Kaitlyn Clark. I will continue to support he !!!
UCONN fans immediately go to bad refs when they lost. Cmon. Get real.
Not a UConn fan but u can't call that
Terrible call

@@eddieschultz3289 Exactly…that was a horrible call. Let that play out
TERRIBLE CALL
Where's the replay of the foul with 4 seconds left?
An illegal screen/offensive foul isn’t a highlight
We saw it replayed enough during the game. We saw replays of numerous fouls that were similar in intent and degree of contact. In one situation it was back to back. First a UConn defender lowered her outstretched arms on a shooter, then an Iowa defender did the same thing under UConn's basket. I couldn't believe the Iowa player did the same thing that was just called on the other end. Refs were pretty consistent. It's up to the players to understand the refs.
@@billselznick586 But for those of us who couldn't watch the game (no ESPN) and wanted to see the highlights here, this was a glaring omission.
Where was Paige when the game was on the line? kudos to Gabby Marshall's lockdown defense. Paige is a superstar and to defend her like that was just unbelievable!!

@@lecowardjamesexactly what I saw from her.
She was aggressive going up against juju(freshman) but was scared to take shots like CC did
Paige is not that good bc this is game you show out
Not against a freshman
Paige was tired. UCONN was tired. Congratulations to them for playing all season with a short bench and making it as far as they did in the tournament, then coming so close to moving on against Iowa. Good job UConn! Congratulations Hawks, back to back years making it to the NCAA Championship game. South Carolina just could not be beat this year. Nice job ladies!
@@juliebless7119 paige is the reason uconn get knocked out by lowa🤫she has no heart,lack of killer instinct,lack of leadership,liability to be go to guy,clark might be volume chucker,but at least she try to carry team to win unlike paige just disappeared when team need her🤮
@@juliebless7119 paige bueckers proved she is the most overrated player in WNCAA
Caitlin Clark is the GOAT!
Yeah the throat goat
That was the second moving screen.. the first moving screen actually hurt a player.. theres no doubt that it was an illegal screen
much credit to both teams and to UConn on their season
C C is a superstar and she knows how to win.
South Carolina is gonna destroy Iowa so this here doesn’t really matter
Everyone said that last year too.
Clark demolished them last year😭 wtfytabout
@@rayleigh8 you flexing that weak Win against NC state ? Like who tf is even that😭
CAITLIN SO EASY TO READ😂, WHEN SHE GO LEFT ITS A SHOOT BUT WHEN SHE GO RIGHT ITS A LAY.😂😂BAD FILM STUDY
Thank you Forrest!
The last foul was a foul. Moving screen and hand to the face 😔. It going to be called. Even espn couldn't pass it off as a bad foul. The replay and espn try to say but watch the foul and made a sound 🔊 but stop saying anything.
Praying for South Carolina cause it wont be easy playing 5v8
RIGGED!!
They put on a great show. Very entertaining.
Caitlin is awesome. I love the way she fights through screens and moves without the ball. She tries her rear off to get the best available shot and she's $$ cash money when she lets it go
Paige Bueckers vs Refs, fixed it for you...
Are you denying that it was an offensive foul?
@@ransom6892 she literally did not move nor lean in. The other possession it was shown in slow motion that the ball was last touched by Iowa and not Beuckers.
Bruh she had 17 points on 17 shots. God I’m getting a migraine from the stupidity of people on here 😂
Paige seemed lost out there
@@ransom6892 she hardly touched her
In game that mattered the most, Caitlin had the better game and elevated her teammates in a way Paige couldn't. UConn had MULTIPLE opportunities to make countless open shots and failed to do so. They applied the pressure literally with under a minute left after a major blunder by Iowa. Other than that, Iowa was the better team last night and the illegal screen underscored the difference between both teams with the missed rebound on the missed free throw being the crescendo to this point.
If the WNBA was this exciting, it would actually turn a profit. The ratings for this game was higher than some NBA games.
Clark is one truly gifted athlete!
Bueckers catch and shoot is insane 🎯
first time watching women basketball highlights who else like me?

Iowa reduced their turnovers in second half and edged out the win.what if iowa had not turned it over 12 times in first half? Maybe the game ending would have never been that close ..uconn had a 12 point lead then got outscored 10 to 2 in a 4 minute span ..did refs make that happen or did iowa just step it up a notch??
Two great players, two great teams, so impressive to watch!
They guarded caitlin like she was trying to break into Fort Knox. 😂😂
I’m realizing Catlin Clark is more against DT3, Ionesco, Sue bird or Kelsey Plum & Paige Bueckers is more against Maya Moore and Juju Watkins.
When you put Catlin vs Paige it’s for all the marbles 💯
I watched the game and really liked it. The defense against Clark was excellent but Ms Buckets got her buckets. I must say it was maddening watching all the bad turnovers and all the missed easy shots. Iowa vs South Carolina with their Shaquille Cardoso will set all the viewing records.
Paige plays excellent defense
Bro That’s Not Caitlin Clark , That’s Caitlin Curry !!!!!
That last call against UCONN was trash…let the players decide the game
Horrendous call
How about fouls get called entire game. What’s this, “let players play and foul all they want at the end?” Lol

@@gj5990 Facts..I didn’t have dog in the fight, but that last call on UCONN was ridiculous.
@@Leo6933 Why should she get away with an illegal screen
Think you know Caitlin, that yesterday was Iowa women basketballs, last win in 2024. You don't stand a chance against the SC Dawn Staley coached, team. They sent a statement with that final score against, North Carolina. Did you get it?
Caitlin Clark has such a nice looking shot, great handle, and stands tough under pressure. Fun to watch her play.
First time in a long time I’ve said that about women’s basketball.
Caitlin Clark is must watch TV, she is a superstar that will transcend women's basketball and take it to places that Cheryl Miller would have had she not been severely injured. We can't wait to watch 2024/ 2025 WNBA Season!!
If Paige gets the ball at the end its over for Clark. But the refs and everyone in the building knew that, so they had to stop it from happening. Great to see refs rigging games even at the college level.
Bad call but not to sure she would have made the shot she had a bad game...

Caitlin is the only reason I watch. Just cancelled my trip to Olympics because she won’t be there. Rest of my group left today. They will watch track and field.
bueckers needs to stand down to the goat
Caitlin clark and Iowa deserve that championship if they win, because they've faced some juggernauts.
Neither of them showed up.
Clark is fantastic

A few seconds left. Paige fires a shot. The audience holds its breath. Freeze that shot. It’s not a question if she makes or misses the shot. It’s that moment that makes sports exciting.
paige always disappeared in crunch time.....even Uconn beat LSU in elite eight,paige might put up good stats,and paige still choke in crunch time,if not KK made the clutch 3 pointers,just like irving saved lechoke in 2016 nba finals yo beat Gws,uconn won't even made finals four,uconn in those tournaments almost blow up 10 lead every game,in these game,paige just disappeared in crunch time,she even choked one of free throw too🤣
CC drive right, step back 3, drive right, step back 3, turnover. Rinse and repeat. Finish through contact rarely and miss 63% of your threes. When not handling the ball, do nothing. When on D, do nothing. Paige right, left, middle, pull up J, fade away jumper, off one foot, floater in the lane, 3 pointer off the bounce, myriad post up moves...move non stop off the ball, set 2-3 screens every possession, run the P&R better than anyone ever....and play absolutely elite D. Hmmm, who would I rather have? Imagine coming back from missing 584 days with an injury and leading a team that lost 6 players, 2 pre-season AAs, had a 6 player rotation ( and # 6 only played about 5 minutes), and had to start 2 freshmen and 4 PGs.....and leading then to the FF.....one highly controversial call away from making the finals. I PROMISE you this....CC with her low efficiency, high volume shooting, zero off ball activity, and atrocious D would not have led this team to the tournament. Scared newbies never would have gained confidence watching her shoot, and she never would have changed positions for the good of team, playing the 4 of all things. Most importantly, CC would never have been able to do the one thing that gave UConn a chance to win...lead by example and energy to make them a great defensive team. That was their ONLY chance to win and Paige is the only one who could have done it. She had to play psychologist to the kids as well as being the leader, best offensive and defensive player and the one who took on all the pressure in every situation and so they didn't have to. There are levels to this.
Did Bluder and Clark intentionally push DEI (Staulke SC?) VS actually play Clarks game/skills? Staulke is incredible in her reciever/dunk role NOT out in the court/field, where she fumbled everything. CLEARLY Bluder keeps sabotaging IA's best game, holding Clark and IA's best bigs back, in certain match ups.
Caitlin Is the best basketball player I've ever seen
Where's the replay of the ref handing the game to Iowa?
Iowa won because UConn lost a 12-point lead. Cope.
You cant have something which not happened .... ref handled nothing to iowa
please don't compare Paige to CC ever again. Didnt need any special defense on her , Marshall locked her down. Bricked a wide open 3 from the corner. They needed so many schemes to slow down CC. CC is levels above all these girls
What a dumb comment. Paige might not have played her best game, but she did her best with everything she has gone through the last few years. Uconn wouldn't be in this position without her and you have to give her credit when its due. Both of them are fantastic players, there is no need to spread this negativity after everything they have BOTH accomplished this season.
@@slootinooti paige has no heart,i WILL NEVER WASTE MONEY ON WATCH HER ANYMORE,SHE JUST OVERRATED,DISAPPEARED IN CRUNCH TIME,AFRAID TO TAKES SGHOTS,SHE WASTE MY TIME
Lmao what "special defense" are you referring to here? Nika Muhl guarded her majority of the game, picking her up full court. Both played like trash today offensively. Caitlin didn't exactly have a good game either. You realize Paige hit the same number of shots while chucking up less bricks 😂.
I agree with you that Paige didn't even appear to be there tonight she made no elite effort to take over and win this game but if you're gonna start talking about bricks you might want to look at the first half Caitlin had she built a whole house And she wasn't anything special tonight either.
@@johnklein6040 dude , she was wide open on that corner 3. CC misses cuz theres a hand in her face

Like thats pathetic
Let’s hope Bueckers stays healthy.
It’s great that Clark is getting all the craze right now but without a rivalry in the wnba, it will be boring.

While women aren’t as capable at basketball they bring excitement to the game when they cut down on the blunders and play high quality basketball. Their style brings a new perspective to the game and we perceive their performance

Neither CC3 or paige were great but it was a great game to watch. PB has had a great comeback season and I can see her being player of the year next year. But I was more impressed with Connecticut. Iowa better up there game tomorrow and CC3 better be ready to make some 3 Pointers in the first half.
I never knew you can play d1 and make toddler mistakes throughout an entire game .. that coach will get a heart attack

The womens rim should be smaller or use a standard size ball. Its a 100x easier to make shots with a womans size ball.
