Because he is arrogant a$$hole that not only insulted CC but the fans! Arrogance will never defeat humble, honest confident skill! No need to brag when CC’s game has always spoke for her!
He’s a pompous, self-absorbed gutless, crappy excuse for a coach! Caitlin WOULD NOT BE who she is and what she has done to date if she played for pompous Geno!
@@JuanVega-ns5okbecause coaches like Geno & Sides think they are the draw, could care less about the players! They want to break CC! God blessed & protects CC!❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
There is an old joke that the only man that could hold Michael Jordan to fewer than 15 points was Dean Smith. And it’s true. Great coaches demand that the players MUST play the system and the system doesn’t change for the player. Geno would never allowed Caitlyn Clark to play her game. Never!!! It takes a rare coach to change his/her program to fit the talent. Talent will always win the game and excite the fans if given the chance. Thank God for the Transfer Portal.
Geno was not worried when he was bashing a young woman for playing ball well, and calling fans idiots! He has gotten into his own head so much he is going crazy loosing his reputation!
Geno , sides, Kathy Englebert, McNutt, Molly Q & Swoops are interested in their own personal stars are on the rise not to encourage & develop gifted athletes! They are too busy trying to be the star of their own programs not the athletes!
Come on man … wake up. There are very very very few 18 year olds that get playing time in college ball. The last and only time a bunch of freshmen played college ball at a high level was the Fab Five from the University of Michigan. Led by Chris Webber and Jalen Rose. That was in another millennium. Paige Bueckers lost nearly two years of her college career and her unanimous NCAA MVP Year was during Covid when fans were not allowed to attend games. Real basketball fans saw her and recognized her vast superiority over all other players in women’s hoops. But Tik Tok clickbaiters didn’t. Then, of course, Bueckers sustained injuries and Caitlin Clark ascended when Covid was essentially over and fans were eager to get back into life. Sadly Bueckers was sidelined so no one got to really see her play. She is now.a 23 year old playing against college juniors, seniors and grad students aged 20 to 24 in what will be essentially her junior year. And for what it’s worth she dominated varsity high school basketball on the winningest team in Minnesota as an 8th grader at the age of 14, then dominated NCAA basketball as a freshman, the only 18 year old to win unanimous MVP awards. So, age has nothing to do with this clickbait nonsense. Get your head out of social media and watch basketball. I discovered Caitlin Clark via Paige Bueckers (as an 8th grader) who consistently kicked her ass. Bueckers is 3 to 1 head to head against Clark and would likely have been 4 and 0 were it not for the worst, most blatant referee intervention in Final Four history. Btw Clark, by your dodgy reasoning made her name as a 22 year old playing against a bunch of 18 year olds. Right?
@@patrickadams6726 The poster was using sarcastic humor against Swoopes and Geno. The poster wasn't making a serious argument against Paige. Clark wasn't 25 (what Swoopes said even tho the poster said 24) playing against 18 year olds like Swoopes said either. It was just some light teasing because Paige is a little older due to the circumstances you described.
Do you know who DID? Paige Bueckers. She was given an equity stake, as a college player. Auriemma is an investor. He is a minor investor. It’s not HIS league.
@@normandelise948 You’re right, you can’t fix stupid. Thinking you know more about basketball than the winningest coach in basketball history with 11 National Championships, 23 Final Fours and the development of several dozen Hall of Fame players including Diana Taurasi, Sue Bird, Maya Moore and Breanna Stewart and Paige Bueckers and Sarah Strong is Max Stupid. Don’t bother trying to fix it. You’re condemned to social media stupidity.
Also...CC has kind of Exhausted all the female Basketball energy for the year. Seems like WNBA JUST ended and it feels like the CC Mania stretching back to the her last year in college, through the College Finals, right into WNBA summer, extended due to the Olympics and now just ended, feels like weeks ago. And all the coverage of Clark and even Reese and rest of the WNBA etc etc. No womens sport has gotten THIS much pressure for SO LONG AND now they want people to JUMP right back into it, aint gonna happen Not to mention it feels like their CC jealousy is pushing them to create another major draw like CC because they want to be able to split the CREDIT for the sports glow up.
If Geno did recruit CC and she sent there, her stardom would always be attached to him being her coach. Its turn out better for CC and Geno looking like he missed out.
Just wait till Psige gets to the WNBA! You'll see why she was recruited way more than CC. Once she gets away from Geno she'll go back to her run and gun style like she had in HS.
@@mikep5695it will definitely be interesting to see, I believe he has hindered Paige more than helped her. Just think if she had played for a flexible coach like Lisa Bluder, I believe she really could have shined. Hopefully it’s not lost and we see it again. One last thing from this CC fan, it’s ok to praise more than one player without all the hate that seems to go along with it.
There is something to that. Page didn’t get the backing from her coach (Geno) that Caitlin got from her college coaches. Geno is an abrasive blow hard and a liability to his team.
Geno is arrogant ,controlling ,old system coach .Caitlin is a free spirit and fast flowing player. If Caitlin played for you. You would have stopped her from being her. You are just like DT , but of course she played for U !
People don't want to watch factory college basketball. You've always had the top players, playing at a school with waterd down curriculum. We've seen this for years in college football! The players got a false sense of greatness playing against teams with genuine college students on the team. Caitlins team finished with 2 players headed to medical school and Martin with a graduate degree! I must say you and your former players were justly represented when you all bad mouthed Caitlin as she entered the WNBA. A humbling experience for sure.
It's painful when you have to eat crow, when you consider your self a know it all, and being prideful is a bitter pill to swollow when you are wrong.First and for most you should not judge a person at all.
It was a tournament in the Bahamas the weekend before Thanksgiving. How many people on vacation on the beach are going to watch a basketball game? He'll most didn't even know it was going on!!!
Clark and Iowa didn't come out of nowhere. Iowa has a decades-long tradition of high school girls basketball enthusiasm, and don't forget C Vivian Stringer's run as coach of the Hawkeyes, and Megan Gustafson's Naismith award. Iowa fans are no newcomers to the game- everyone else just finally noticed.
GENO AURIEMMA BELIEVED SO MUCH ON HIMSELF,,,,SO PROUD TO PRESUME THAT BASKETBALL REVOLVES AROUND HIM,,,,MAYBE YOUR CORRECT MS CAITLIN CLARK TO NEVER JOIN AURIEMMA IN ANY PRETEXT ,,DO NOT BE LURED BY ANY AMOUNT OF MONEY,,,,GO GO CAITLIN CLARK,,,GOD BLESS YOU,,,,
The Iowa fans go to the games hoping for Caitlin to show up because Caitlin is a loyal Hawkeye, just the possibility that Caitlin is there to cheer her team on. The fans want to see her and say thanks. ESPN bleep, bleep, bleep, and the same goes to Geno.
The Iowa team this season is fun to watch. It's Hannah Stuelke's team now. Caitlin being at a game would be a fringe benefit but it's not the reason they're there.
All Geno has to do to save his legacy is to admit his biggest mistake in his coaching career was when he passed over CC to become a UCONN player. If however, Geno refuses to admit his mistake he will fade into the abyss along with SW and DT.
All Geno will be remembered for is his whistling dentures and his old geezer whistling out of his ass rantings against Caitlin Clark. Will someone please tell Geno to start using POLIGRIP Denture Adhesive!!! His players say his denture whistling is driving them nuts !!
I would have to agree with other responders here, Geno would not have allowed CC to play HER game! I think Caitlin dodged a big bullet when Geno didn't put any effort into recruiting her! Her time at Iowa allowed her to hone her game.
I like Geno and Uconn, but his criticism of Clark's fans were also his and Uconn's fans. Fans that like good women's basketball period and he made them choose between Clark and him
That makes me SICK!! That he very suddenly started praising her outlandishly, after years of nothing good to say about her, while she was breaking records left and right and leading the Fever to the playoffs, is unbelievable. And now it is to find out that he is a part owner in the new league (Unrivaled), and was counting on her wanting to come play and make him a ton of money!! He was so surprised that she wasn’t interested in playing for Unrivaled! To her everlasting credit, she is not motivated only by money. Her health and her career will be better served by taking the time off between seasons of the WNBA. GOOD FOR HER!
The population of the Bahamas is 410,000 people. Small population and only .0013 percent saw the game. Geno is a hater of the basketball style of CC. He likes slow paced basketball and has openly insulted CC openly. His students have chosen Paige over the CC style. He needs CC’s fan draw and is now being nice? Sorry Geno, stick to your style preference and leave CC’s reputation alone.
I watched Paige play. She can shoot if not guarded. Want to see how she does against blitzes and doubleheader. Also. Did not see her drive to the basket. Give me Hildago over Paige.
even after paige and juju joins the wnba, caitlin will still be the bigest star because its not only how she play but also attitude and her kind heart! and fans can see that
❤ Caitlin Clark is in control of her own career that is why I love and respect her on and off the court. Every time I hear positive news about Caitlin Clark it makes me feel good about myself😂❤
All these so called old heads need to leave college and the W and let the new wave of talent emerge...These people are hurting women sports not helping...Thankyou for your service now sit down and shut up...the end
Clark is extremely intelligent with unmatched drive. Adversity makes her better, she thrives when things are tough. She has fluidity. She reminds me of Magic Johnson. She has integrity and can’t be bought. Notice how Clark never says anything bad about anyone. Overall great person!❤
"Aged like fine milk", classic. The women in this new league don't hate Boston, Hull and Martin like they hate Caitlin. Why would she take more abuse from them.
Paige outshown CC her freshman year, winning all the major awards. No one could have predicted Paige's injuries. Or Clark's injury free career. When Paige and Clark played together on the junior olympic team, Clark outscored Paige, but Paige earned the MVP.
It was all political. Caitlin outplayed Paige their freshmen year Paige gets fr of the year. Caitlin out plays Paige on team USA under 18 and Paige gets mvp. Paige us the "chosen one" earned or not, and that's why people love and root for CC. CC is real Paige's impact and influence is manufactured, Caitlin did it for real.
I love that the NBA commissioner gave a lesson in how they should’ve treated not only CC but all the truly great athletes that come thru their program. Too bad Englebert is willing to drive the WNBA in the ground with her failing methods. Get rid of Englebert & get an honest commissioner that will do the job right& all boats will rise!
I used to like Geno, now I see him as a fool. If he had kept his mouth shut I would not know how ridiculous he is. I used to watch UConn. You can have 'em.
Geno has allowed himself to be clipped up into some kind of jealous woman regarding CC. He comes off as one of those jealous, insecure WNBA players claiming their victimhood. Now UConn and his admittedly amazing coaching career are painted with a different brush. It's all because he couldn't keep his mouth shut. Too bad really, for UConn and himself, but he brought it on himself. Hope you can still learn Geno.
Gino had his time on top, it doesn't last forever. It's Clark's time now and he can't deal with the fact that someone else is getting the attention now.
Most people hate monopolies & corruption, especially in sport. No one EVER cared about WBB because just 5 teams won 70% of all NCAA championships. No one wants to see UCON, uSC, Baylor, etc. People want to see Organic teams with Underdogs who are Loyal and Inspiring. Clark did this stratospherically. But normal great players will inspire people. Not Geno's & Dawn's stacked teams of 5 stars.
Caitlin and Iowa WBB appeal to middle America. They’ve been waiting on a superstar to emerge. They have that a little with Halliburton. But CC appeals to women AND men.
What Mr. Auriemma is missing is that they hoops world is evolving past the mechanical, 'physical' ( = fouls aren't called), grind you down style of play he (and many other coaches in the NBA, WNBA, and NCAA ) promote. It still wins games (c.f. S. Carolina, LSU, et al.) but it's painful to watch. Ms. Clark brings joy and passion to her game and teams and, no, it doesn't win every time but it's really fun to watch. Case in point, the Fever's first 10 games vs. their last 30 games. At the beginning, Ms. Clark was basically sidelined, even when in the line up. Coach Sides didn't do anything to let Ms. Clark play her game. It didn't work. That would have been Ms. Clark at UConn. Then Coach Sides starting looking at Lisa Bluder as a coaching model and Ms. Clark and the Fever thrived, even as they grumbled (looking at you Ms. Smith). Result? Playoffs for the first time in 8 years. The problems with the Fever is that the management rewarded Coach Sides with a pink slip - this doesn't bode well for the future, but we'll see. Hopefully, the WNBA will admit to who is putting butts in seats next season, and let the refs (and the Fever players) protect Ms. Clark from the bullies in the WNBA.
Bro, they were all so high and might, all so cocky with their knowledge, they called the fans delusional, they said reality is coming, they have allllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll been proven as failures and liars and haters. UCONN, blame that geno guy who thought he knew everything.
Gino trains individuality out of his players it's the UCONN way or the high way. It initially worked. After all having five good players playing the way the coach and most teams expects worked. Until it did not. Along comes C# and Lisa B. And thank the heavens that pairing came to be. Lisa B realized you let C# play her game and you get rewarded. Most of the old guard colleges try to tame the wild beast . Lisa unleashed it. It still happening to some extent in women's bb. C# style is the new style. There are a lot of players there who no doubt had their individual flare trained out of them so much they do not know how to deal with Clark. The new breed of players are not following the 20 odd year expected format of play style it was bound to happen eventually adapt or die. Time for Gino to hang up his whistle before UCONN becomes irrelevant to Fan's.
Because Caitlin Clark exposed this arrogant coach who only won all these championships not by his "coaching abilities" but because he was always blessed with outstanding players. Period!!
Is Paige going to break the ALL TIME scoring record? NO. CC was chssing a record thought to be unreachable. She also was shooting "Seth Curry" type 3 pointers. That was something not seen in women's basketball. It was a much more exciting brand of basketball.
He was talking trash about Caitlin Clark when she broke 80+ records in the WNBA her first year alone. She’s the best all around player I’ve ever seen in the WNBA.
... I generally have distain for someone with two faces ... In this case I get a slight enjoyment in knowing one face is a mirror image ... That is a game face ... 66 million dollar gamble in Unrivaled turned out to be unraveled by the first face and the mirrored face is " You Can't Fix Stupid " ... Remember Iowa Hawkeyes beat UConn Huskies ... Too Late ... Integrity is why Caitlin Clark doesn't play your game ... Oh, she has a degree in marketing ...
To quote all the WNBA players whenever a serious question is asked. To which they respond to avoid answering like a professional and grown adult. (Clears throat) There's levels to this. Why people aren't watching you. It's just levels upon levels to this thing. Oh I forgot the awkward giggle. (Giggle)
I live in Ct. I've been a UConn WBB fan for years. For the last 5 years I have also been an Iowa fan. I would love to go to some games, but I really am not able to. Also thanks to the contract UConn signed with SNY I can't even watch them on TV as my Cable Company doesn't provide SNY. You can't expect people from all over the U.S. to travel to the Bahamas. What is the incentive??? To watch Paige and some of the other players we love play 25 or 27 mins a game??? I know why you do that, but you can't expect people to travel to watch the girl who is probably the best player in the NCAA Division 1 sit on the bench. We have had several years of that already. I will continue to support the Lady Huskies. I have fortunately found someone who late at night or the next day puts an edited video of their SNY games on TH-cam. I follow the 2 teams that I do because I think they are the best programs. Go Huskies and go Hawkeyes!!
Why is nobody watching Geno?
Because he is arrogant a$$hole that not only insulted CC but the fans! Arrogance will never defeat humble, honest confident skill! No need to brag when CC’s game has always spoke for her!

Geno cannot tell fans who to love. It is what it is. Fans have made their choices, not what Geno, and others, think they should. Reality.

Hey Geno have you looked in the mirror and listen to yourself talk not only that page is not a superstar
even after paige and juju joins the wnba, caitlin will still be the bigest star because its not only how she play but also attitude and her kind heart! and fans can see that
❤ Caitlin Clark is in control of her own career that is why I love and respect her on and off the court. Every time I hear positive news about Caitlin Clark it makes me feel good about myself😂❤
All these so called old heads need to leave college and the W and let the new wave of talent emerge...These people are hurting women sports not helping...Thankyou for your service now sit down and shut up...the end
Clark is extremely intelligent with unmatched drive. Adversity makes her better, she thrives when things are tough. She has fluidity. She reminds me of Magic Johnson. She has integrity and can’t be bought. Notice how Clark never says anything bad about anyone. Overall great person!❤
Caitlin Clark didn’t come to the WNBA to participate, Caitlin Clark came to the WNBA to take over! 🏀
CLARKONOMICS!!!
Lmao in Bahamas, why tf would I go see a basketball game in the Bahamas 😂😂😂😂😂
The CC22 effect is affecting Geno, Persona, Spiritually, and Fiancially! 🤣
Geno is yesterday's basketball. He spoke down to CC 22 abilities. Too bad that UConn is being frozen out.
"Aged like fine milk", classic. The women in this new league don't hate Boston, Hull and Martin like they hate Caitlin. Why would she take more abuse from them.
Paige outshown CC her freshman year, winning all the major awards. No one could have predicted Paige's injuries. Or Clark's injury free career. When Paige and Clark played together on the junior olympic team, Clark outscored Paige, but Paige earned the MVP.
Do you have a point?
So, at the time, Geno had reason to believe he didn't need another point guard. Even CC.
It was all political. Caitlin outplayed Paige their freshmen year Paige gets fr of the year. Caitlin out plays Paige on team USA under 18 and Paige gets mvp. Paige us the "chosen one" earned or not, and that's why people love and root for CC. CC is real Paige's impact and influence is manufactured, Caitlin did it for real.
I love that the NBA commissioner gave a lesson in how they should’ve treated not only CC but all the truly great athletes that come thru their program. Too bad Englebert is willing to drive the WNBA in the ground with her failing methods. Get rid of Englebert & get an honest commissioner that will do the job right& all boats will rise!
Geno is narcissistic. He just mad he didn’t coach Caitlin and got the credit for her success. Geno karma got you. 🌺
Geno and his big mouth has done it to himself. I laugh at him.
I used to like Geno, now I see him as a fool. If he had kept his mouth shut I would not know how ridiculous he is. I used to watch UConn. You can have 'em.
Geno has allowed himself to be clipped up into some kind of jealous woman regarding CC. He comes off as one of those jealous, insecure WNBA players claiming their victimhood. Now UConn and his admittedly amazing coaching career are painted with a different brush. It's all because he couldn't keep his mouth shut. Too bad really, for UConn and himself, but he brought it on himself. Hope you can still learn Geno.
She was never meant to go to Geno cause he would have snuffed out her bright star by stopping her flow so let her shine ,let her shine, let her shine
They’re cancelling Gino 100%! and frankly, who believes what he says when she got it all wrong on CC!
Gino had his time on top, it doesn't last forever. It's Clark's time now and he can't deal with the fact that someone else is getting the attention now.
I dont think coach Geno will ever apologize with what he said, but he will definitely switch his tone about Caitlin 😆😆😆😆
Most people hate monopolies & corruption, especially in sport. No one EVER cared about WBB because just 5 teams won 70% of all NCAA championships. No one wants to see UCON, uSC, Baylor, etc. People want to see Organic teams with Underdogs who are Loyal and Inspiring. Clark did this stratospherically. But normal great players will inspire people. Not Geno's & Dawn's stacked teams of 5 stars.
Caitlin and Iowa WBB appeal to middle America. They’ve been waiting on a superstar to emerge. They have that a little with Halliburton. But CC appeals to women AND men.
What Mr. Auriemma is missing is that they hoops world is evolving past the mechanical, 'physical' ( = fouls aren't called), grind you down style of play he (and many other coaches in the NBA, WNBA, and NCAA ) promote. It still wins games (c.f. S. Carolina, LSU, et al.) but it's painful to watch. Ms. Clark brings joy and passion to her game and teams and, no, it doesn't win every time but it's really fun to watch. Case in point, the Fever's first 10 games vs. their last 30 games. At the beginning, Ms. Clark was basically sidelined, even when in the line up. Coach Sides didn't do anything to let Ms. Clark play her game. It didn't work. That would have been Ms. Clark at UConn. Then Coach Sides starting looking at Lisa Bluder as a coaching model and Ms. Clark and the Fever thrived, even as they grumbled (looking at you Ms. Smith). Result? Playoffs for the first time in 8 years. The problems with the Fever is that the management rewarded Coach Sides with a pink slip - this doesn't bode well for the future, but we'll see. Hopefully, the WNBA will admit to who is putting butts in seats next season, and let the refs (and the Fever players) protect Ms. Clark from the bullies in the WNBA.
I think fans are experiencing a strong Geno hangover. Where's my tiny violin?
Delulu is no solulu!
Geno has become so full of himself, his hatred for Clark means that he no longer can objectively evaluate talent.
Bro, they were all so high and might, all so cocky with their knowledge, they called the fans delusional, they said reality is coming, they have allllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll been proven as failures and liars and haters. UCONN, blame that geno guy who thought he knew everything.
Let them shine in their own light 😊
Kelsey Plum has pulled out of Unrivaled according to multiple outlets.
NIL means the UCONN mafia are done. They wont get all the best players anymore. Too bad so sad.
Give CC a game in the Bahamas and see how her fans vacation there the same time. Packed arena smelling like sun tan lotion.
Geno is not the same when he was younger. Some place in recent time his words smell. The fans don't like the smell.
Gino trains individuality out of his players it's the UCONN way or the high way. It initially worked. After all having five good players playing the way the coach and most teams expects worked. Until it did not.
Along comes C# and Lisa B. And thank the heavens that pairing came to be. Lisa B realized you let C# play her game and you get rewarded. Most of the old guard colleges try to tame the wild beast . Lisa unleashed it.
It still happening to some extent in women's bb. C# style is the new style. There are a lot of players there who no doubt had their individual flare trained out of them so much they do not know how to deal with Clark.
The new breed of players are not following the 20 odd year expected format of play style it was bound to happen eventually adapt or die.
Time for Gino to hang up his whistle before UCONN becomes irrelevant to Fan's.
Because Caitlin Clark exposed this arrogant coach who only won all these championships not by his "coaching abilities" but because he was always blessed with outstanding players. Period!!
UCONN should fire Gino and hire former UVA player and current coach Tammi Riese!
Is Paige going to break the ALL TIME scoring record? NO. CC was chssing a record thought to be unreachable. She also was shooting "Seth Curry" type 3 pointers. That was something not seen in women's basketball. It was a much more exciting brand of basketball.
He was talking trash about Caitlin Clark when she broke 80+ records in the WNBA her first year alone. She’s the best all around player I’ve ever seen in the WNBA.
CC is a generational talent. She'll never be a genorational one.
The only personality in US history with the same impact as our girl CC was Babe Ruth.
Arnold Palmer in golf had a similar impact when he signed with Mark McCormack as his representation. Gold marketing really took off.
The achilles heel of great coaches is that they start to feel their coaching is so good they don't actually need talents to win.
... I generally have distain for someone with two faces ... In this case I get a slight enjoyment in knowing one face is a mirror image ... That is a game face ... 66 million dollar gamble in Unrivaled turned out to be unraveled by the first face and the mirrored face is " You Can't Fix Stupid " ... Remember Iowa Hawkeyes beat UConn Huskies ... Too Late ... Integrity is why Caitlin Clark doesn't play your game ... Oh, she has a degree in marketing ...
After Caitlin, women’s college basketball has gone back to the same old boring thing again.
To quote all the WNBA players whenever a serious question is asked. To which they respond to avoid answering like a professional and grown adult.
(Clears throat)
There's levels to this. Why people aren't watching you. It's just levels upon levels to this thing. Oh I forgot the awkward giggle. (Giggle)
Because Caitlin Clark is not there Geno looking stupid for disrespecting CC
UCON players have attitude, usually bad attitude as displayed when in the WNBA.
CC wouldn’t have helped UCONN either, bc Geno wouldn’t have allowed CC to play the way she played, that has brought her the attention
I live in Ct. I've been a UConn WBB fan for years. For the last 5 years I have also been an Iowa fan. I would love to go to some games, but I really am not able to. Also thanks to the contract UConn signed with SNY I can't even watch them on TV as my Cable Company doesn't provide SNY. You can't expect people from all over the U.S. to travel to the Bahamas. What is the incentive??? To watch Paige and some of the other players we love play 25 or 27 mins a game??? I know why you do that, but you can't expect people to travel to watch the girl who is probably the best player in the NCAA Division 1 sit on the bench. We have had several years of that already. I will continue to support the Lady Huskies. I have fortunately found someone who late at night or the next day puts an edited video of their SNY games on TH-cam. I follow the 2 teams that I do because I think they are the best programs. Go Huskies and go Hawkeyes!!
To be fair, Huskies have a great shot to win it all this year - South Carolina isn't looking as dominant, they surely miss Cardoso!
@@BasketballTopStories Yeah, they are looking really good. Like they've been together for years.
Gabbie Marshall did it to Geno. I feel shadenfreude baby! Don’t worry Geno. Angel “me too” Reese is still in.
There is only 1 Caitlin Clark bro
The WNBA let everyone know that most fans were not welcome. That pushed me away from watching women’s basketball.
