What a baller. Back to back 40 bombs. Caitlin Clark has just made this upcoming national championship possibly the most watched in wbb history. Can't believe we're here, but I'm enjoying the show!
I imagine watching Caitlin Clark now is like what watching Pete Maravich in college must have felt like. She's unstoppable, and you can't take your eyes off her. She's incredible, she's the whole show.
As an Indiana WBB fan, Caitlin Clark is public enemy #1. But it's impossible to deny that we are witnessing something truly special from her this tournament that's great for women's hoops as a sport.
@Teresa Webb at the beginning of the season Iowa was 2-3 in games where she scored more than 40 points and she actually felt bad about it. She thought maybe she was doing too much and needed to get other involved.
@@Tavat I was gonna say, I went to middle school in the Des Moines metro, and a high school in the middle of nowhere, Iowa. Dowling Catholic ain’t no country girl school
Warnock’s offensive board made it possible for Clark to get to the FT line and say goodnight to South Carolina. What a gusty team effort!! I was glued to the TV the whole night!
This young lady is first class. Not only does she put her team above herself, she gives much credit to the S.C. team. It was a hard fought game by both teams, and I am so proud of the Iowa ladies for such an amazing victory. S.C. is an incredible team for sure, and should have a good team this next year also.
Caitlin is truly unstoppable, make no mistake about it. SC knew coming into this game that if they could shut her down (coming off a 41pt performance) that the cards were stacked in their favor, and they couldn't. Even right now, Caitlin has to be amongst the 5 best guards to ever play NCAAW Basketball (and yes I'd take her over Sue Bird or Diana Taurasi)
Kinda reminds me of the undefeated UNLV mens team until Duke beat em in the Final Four. Duke went on to win the championship that year. Congrats to Iowa and GL in the final game.
@@theodorethompson9032 when coach Staley took the lead center player out SC was sure to lose that’s when katlin cut loose. With her star center sitting on the bench that other player had to step her game up, why change what you work with all season, never change your game plan it’s like the center player was foul out just by sitting on the bench and she should have been playing
I don't typically watch women's basketball, but this girl is really good. I mean when South Carolina would get close or take a small lead, she would come back with a dagger.
We always said, cheer cheer cheer for Iowa… So you’re either from a generation before me or the generation after me who did it differently than us. Either way, go, Hawks! Super proud of them.
Caitlin dropped 41 to take down the undefeated and defending national champion South Carolina team! Great win for Iowa!! Good luck in the national championship game against LSU!

Clark is a once in a lifetime talent. Another level. People will be talking about her 50 -100 yrs from now. Probably longer. LEGEND. Prediction: she will go 50+ in champ game. Tricky game against LSU: heavy favorites, going against legendary Coach M.
Dang!! Those white girls can play some ball!!!!!!!! I am a USC fan but I take my hat off to IOWA. They deserved to win its no fluke. Caitlyn is a terrific player but she didnt do it alone. That entire TEAM is good. Congrats to USC. What a year!
Kept hearing the SC defense was something CC hadn't seen before. Guess they hadn't seen her either. Her game kind of reminds me of Larry Bird. Now reading LSU will "punish them" . Open mouth and say AHHHHH -SH@#. Another Bird similarity. When up against the best, best not poke the bear
Somebody out there with USA Basketball put Caitlin Clark on team USA at the Paris 2024 Summer Olympic games! And make sure Kellogg's has her on the front and back of its Corn Flakes cereal boxes in 2024 also!
Catlin catches the ball with 3 sec left inbound so smart and run away with clock to win the game . She did not allow SC to foul and steal the ball inbound . What a critical awesome play
That was the first time I watched highlights of a woman’s basketball game and I’m a huge nba guy. That said, i felt like I was watching a 1960’s nba game and Clark was like watching pistol Pete or Havlicek. She’s definitely something special I was impressed. WNBA needs a face for the league
I honestly didn't realize how tall South Carolina players were it seems like they had a mismatch on every level but Iowa's game plan and execution must have been on point. Caitlyn Clark can definitely ball with that 41 point performance
@@Yyyyyy5 Cardoso is 6'7, Boston is 6'5. 1 is 6'4 and 2 are 6'3, and 2 are 6'2. The hawkeyes only have 5 women over 6'1 and none over 6'4. Thats a size mismatch.
@@gvstlytv it’s not enough to make a difference. A mismatch that would make a difference would be a ‘6”5 person matching up to a ‘5”9 person. I mean obviously there is a difference there but in this case you have nothing more than a bunch of tall women on a basketball court.
IT's still Kinda Unbelievable 🤣😂to See. But yet watching the ESPN replay though it was Condensed. What a Fantastic Game by Both Teams. And a Wonderful Night for The IOWA Hawkeye's & Caitlin Clark. Good Luck Ladies.
A lot of comments here comparing Caitlin with Pistol Pete. I just watched a video on Maravich and I saw footage of a lot of opportunities for Pete to pass off for what would have been an easier 2 points, but he took it all the way for the score. Caitlin's assist average is 50% more than Pete's, her shooting is better, and her FT percentage is far better. For all Maravich's incredible skills, shooting free throws was not one of them. Caitlin is more of a team player and I think she could score much more than she does, but she looks for her other players more than Pete did. She also probably has a better coach than Pete had.His dad focused on promoting his son over all else. Pete was an awesome ball handler and shooter, can't take that away from him, but he probably would have won at least one championship if he had been more of a team player. In college he averaged 44 points a game, but only 5 assists, and he averaged taking 40 shots and 14 free throws per game! His LSU teams went 49-35 during his time there. That pretty much says it all.
She's the chosen one. The Michael Jordan of women's basketball.. ABSOLUTLY Amazing! She is box office. She will level the pay scale between men and women basketball or at minimum close the huge gap.
Caitlin Clark is a phenomenal athlete who should really be compared to the phenomenal athletes of individual sports such as tennis, swimming, pole vaulting and speed skating.

What a player! Giving all the props to her teammates and the whole program. Class act.!
This was better than any WNBA game on TV
Well, Clark will be there soon.
Way better
College basketball > professional basketball, regardless of whether it's men or women.
Especially better than any NBA game
And way better than the NBA
Clark iced this like a legend - 4 straight free throws like its nothing. That 3-ball play for Boston at the end was a very good play btw.
More like the refs iced it for her. . .
@Jeremy A. Medlock here we go lol.
@@jamedlock83 is handed a Kleenex.
really open look, very good play
Glad to see the utterly woke Coach Staley out.
Caitlyn Clark is special, Very rarely do we see a player who is the best point guard and the best shooting guard in the nation in one player.
That's gotta be one of the best performances in the history of this tournament. Unreal.
she aint done yet
Straight facts
@@iggypopisgod9 for sure but for a single game I'm saying
@@jpesicka492 The game before it was actually better. 40 pt. triple double, first time ever, men's or women's, in the NCAA tournament

Those were the smoothest free throws I’ve ever seen. The way they drop in is satisfying.

Incredible coaching and game plan from Bluder and staff.
Never seen a stone cold assassin like this lady give me chills how good she is what a performance Catlin Clark
She Reminds me of Breanna Stewart..
🏀👏👏👏🏀👏👏🏀
You got that right !!
Reminds me of Sabrina and Oregon knocking off Team USA. Catlin has that kind of WILL!
Wow, this was a huge upset. South Carolina are defending Champs 🏆, hard to beat, deep and athletic. Congrats Iowa.
Caitlin is an amazing player. Nice to see SC were good losers and no goofy actions at the high five stage.
Congratulations Iowa and Caitlin Clark! Way to go! Thank you! 🙏🏽

Kinda, but that Duke team had Laettner, Grant Hill, Bobby Hurley, etc. Iowa had one star.
Great sportsmanship and humble. She was well raised.
it is the first time i;ve shown interest in women's basketball. really quality play from some great atheletes. congrats to iowa.
Fun to watch. Hard to stop a fast basketball player who does not appear to get tired. It’s a physical gift that few have. Think Steve Nash as example.

Ice cold flowing through Caitlin's veins. Those 4 free throws were automatic. She was not even fazed.
The sound of the ball hitting the net! Beautiful!
Caitlin dropped 41 to take down the undefeated and defending national champion South Carolina team! Great win for Iowa!! Good luck in the national championship game against LSU!
Awesome to see a winning team take the time to shake hands instead of ignoring their opponent and dancing for the camera.
In college ball, opponents shake hands after every game though. Cool imagination. ;). Congrats Iowa! 🏆🏀

Congrats to South Carolina for a fantastic season. It was an honor for Iowa to play you. Glad Iowa won, but that does not diminish you at all.
I love how Monika picks up the President of the University of Iowa at 6:06!
Congrats Iowa!!
She must have watched Bull Durham 1000 times to learn how to give those kinds of responses!! Such a selfless, generous player.
