Bluder doesn't really get enough credit. She isn't a loud character like Mulkey so she seems to fly more under the radar of the national press. But she's been running a highly competitive program for more than 20 years at Iowa, constantly bringing teams much further than the talent level of the individual players. She's likely the reason Clark decides to stay and play for her home state in the first place. And the reason Clark has a team around that can answer the call at these highest levels of competition.
Omg, legler is just so good of an analyst. "When you have a player with this level of escapability with her handle, and that level of range. You can't account for where the ball is going to be." My goodness!
What an amazing game last night!I got to give credit to Caitlin & Angel cause they brought down the house last night.I do believe Caitlin and her team might go for the national championship.No doubt about it.
@wrenning4everI agree Angel’s defense and her ability to make shots was amazing. Van Lith took foolish shots and created too many turnovers. It was fun to watch both teams and Clark’s 3 points shooting was off the charts. So nice to see!
Clark is such an incredible athlete and class act. So happy to see such a gifted, dedicated team with great integrity and respect, triumph. Much credit to the Iowa Coach. Great job all around, ladies!
that one image with 3 LSU defenders locked on CC and no one watching the breaker says it all. Andraya, you're a jewel as an analyst pointing out the contributions of the other Iowa players is spot on. Keep up the good work.
@johnmac Thank you. I didn't notice that LSU left the court until somebody pointed that out to me. I would have thought there would have been someone in the group that would have insisted they stayed for the National Anthem. That greatly reduced my opinion of LSU, but I blame Mulkey for not insisting they stay and stand. I would have been ashamed of Iowa if they would have done that.
I went to bed and dreamed of nothing but 3's raining through the hoops last night. Clark had 41 points and 12 assists. Everyone on the team contributed in a huge way.
What was impressive to me was Caitlin's passing. With all that scoring she does, she is just as unselfish. Several times she could have pulled up, but found an easier opportunity for a score by passing. Great game by both teams. Also stop dragging HVL, my girl was sick (not saying it would have changed anything).
@bertha Lisa Bluder appreciates great passing even more than scoring. When Caitlin makes a cross court pass, you want to be ready for it because it will be coming in hard.
The excitement and knowledge base of the ESPN team yesterday (and in all games leading up) was exemplary! One of the best commentator teams I’ve ever heard or seen in my 65 years
Caitlins hand eye and depth cordination is super hero like. Born with it. More than like it she can shoot a gun or play pool or ping pong, play golf extremly well. Curry the same.
I’m glad I’m getting Paige vs Clark one last time after only one matchup in their freshman year. I’m kind of upset for Hailey she’s a scorer not a playmaker that’s what she excels at going to LSU was a mistake.
Andraya and these other talking heads have been talking smoke about Iowa all season. Andraya said just a couple weeks ago they didn’t even think Iowa was good enough to make elite 8. I’m loving watching all these people eat crow
Morrow played way above expectations too! She's a good player! Gabbie Marshall is such a good complimentary piece to Clarke. So many storylines that deserve recognition on both sides
This game made a lot of people realize: people don't hate women's basketball, they hate BORING basketball. This game made millions of people Caitlin Clark fans. I'm definitely watching all of her games.
Exactly. If anyone is gonna have a chance against Clark they’re gonna have to double her from half court and full court pressure her. Get the ball out of her hands. You can live with the rest of the team beating you or not💯
1st Quarter Angel Reese is who I as a Hawkeye fan fears!: ) But she faded by 3rd Q. (I have seen Angel fade in other games too; if she can get her endurance up, she will be right up there with CC once Angel goes pro: ) .... So by 3rd Quarter last night, Angel was outta steam or unfocused .... Felt bad for the position that HVL was put in as a 5'7 player against 6'0 CC ... I was surprised people said that LSU doesnt have a deep bench -- I feel like I am aware of so many phenomenal players on their team. And, please keep in mind that Iowa is down a starter too: Molly Davis hasn't been able to play at all during this year's tourney .... ...... ..... But soooooo happy!! Go Hawks!! Amazing job!!!
Freshman year caitlin has 200+ more points than paige, 50+ more assists, 20+ more rebounds, but less steals. In no way am I saying Paige isnt elite, but Caitlin should have won the player of the year all four years.. Soph year her stats dwarfed bostons too.
Nobody beating South Carolina, UConn or Iowa. This game determines nothing. I just hope Clark wins because it’ll be nice if she can beat them and end her collegian career on a high note
Thats what they said last year too, when they were undefeated. Last 2 games vs indiana and oregon state show they are absolutely beatable@@Blazejones31
@TrebleFM That will be the 1st of the final four games. I'm from Iowa, I respect UCONN, but I'm hoping our girls can get back to where they finished last year but with a different ending this year. The talent in these final 4 teams is so ridiculous. They all deserve respect for getting where they are.
Id argue that was never the case... The year paige won awards (her freshman year) The stats dont necessarily back that up.. Nor do bostons in her soph year. 2020-2021 Paige - 581 Pts, 168 assists, 141 rebounds, 66 steals Caitlin - 799 pts, 214 assists, 177 rebounds, 38 steals 200 + more points, 45+ more assists, 35+ more rebounds, 25+ fewer steals.
@slimjim You didn't even get her full range last night. Her best has been close to 40', and the night she broke the all time scoring record, it was from the logo of course, and a temporary marker has been put on the court there with approval from the NCAA to put something permanent on that spot. When guys teams came to Iowa and were doing shoot arounds, they were trying to hit from there and couldn't do it. The night Michigan State came to town, there were only a few seconds left in the game, score tied, and somehow Stuelke got it to Clark, and she put it up "from the beak". (the Tigerhawk beak at the center of the court), and drilled it.
So nice seeing the LSU team get what was coming to them!!!,Especially after the entire team walked off the court, and did not stand to honor The Stars and Stripes during The Singing of Our National Anthem!!!!,Just like The US Women's Soccer team at the Olympics!!!,These Girls got what they deserved!!!,They Got Beat by a Team that gets it!!!!, Go Hawkeyes!!!!!
ESPN spoiling the highlights with Reese injury excuses! Every player has some aches and pains this time of year. No excuses ESPN!! Caitlin Clark is HER!!!!
I went to a high school where the standard for girls basketball was set pretty high. So, for me to sit and watch a women's game from start to finish says a lot about how entertaining that game was last night. I had ZERO rooting interest. That game was followed up by two other All-American women but the same energy wasn't there. Y'all can hate on Angel or Caitlyn for that matter but the women's game needs this level of energy.
@@youthinkyouknowme5551 I'm a big sports fan and watch men's college hoops but couldn't name more than 5 players. However, the fact I can name Clark (Iowa), Reese (LSU), Wiggins (USC), Bueckers (UConn), Alissa Pili (Utah), Cardoso (So. Car.) and Georgia Amoore (VA Tech) in women's hoops speaks to the love the girls are getting, and I'm happy for them.
Man half the reason was Van Lith was put on Clark, and was getting COOOKED all night. She's like 5'7 on a 6'0er, AND they said Van Lith was sick so couldn't breath through her nose. I mean that is an inexcusable coach non adjustment.
Well, they tried Poa on Clark, but Iowa got her in foul trouble pretty quickly. And you can’t put Flau’Jae on Caitlin all game because she then won’t have any legs to shoot, and you need her offense. My guess is that’s why Mulkey played it that way.
This was a terrific game that definitely lived up to its billing. As for Caitlin Clark? That was one of the most impressive displays of precision airstrikes that i've ever seen. I wouldn't be surprised if an NBA team tried to draft her, she's that good.
Reese wasn't the same... but it wasn't because of her ankle. It was because she got in foul trouble, and because #44 came in the game and did a better job battling... and because she didn't get some of the bounces like in the first qtr that gave her easy putbacks etc. And Clark's 2nd half bombs rattled LSU
@@wingman416 This was definitely a "let them play" game in terms of officiating. There were a ton of non-calls going both ways. It took some getting used to because I kept expecting whistles. They did a fair job of being sort of consistent about how significant a foul had to be before calling it but it's just a tough part of basketball that the officiating is so subjective by nature.

I love that Caitlin could easily ball hog it, but a lot of the time she pulls over doubleteams onto her and finds the open player. Just a great all-around player and so fun to watch.

@@TheGod711 Valid. There is a ton of talent with personalities to match right now in NCAAW (Caitlin, Reese, Juju, Paige etc.). I think Reese and Caitlin both helped raise each other up (Bird/Magic vibes), but the attention that Caitlin brings and her play is just crazy compared to anyone else.
Totally agree, great game! One note I would like to make is Sydney and Kate stepped up, but they always step up. The way Iowa plays people in multiple positions can make those in season numbers deceptive. It’s also important to note that Molly Davis started, and therefore their offensive numbers , and strategy based on opponent were different and ebbed and flowed in a way that can make the numbers deceptive. Especially with Sydney who was their go to on the bench, but didn’t have the minutes to be getting the numbers she is now. Both Sydney and Kate are strong defenders, get rebounds , take hard fouls , and do the hard work behind the scenes that don’t get the attention they deserve. I think Sydney got one of her first double doubles in the Big 10 game and she wasn’t even mentioned in any reviews of that game. So I’m not disagreeing with anything said here, I totally agree this was a great game for everyone on Iowa. They used three different post players as well and I think that was a good strategy to manage foul trouble and keep Angel responding to different styles of play. I think it’s important though to highlight that behind the scenes , blue collar basketball makes those giant shots and killer passes possible.
Hey, I'm from the west suburbs of Chicago and I have pick-up basketball with the best ( you name them) I watch - C C , play yesterday here in Tucson,Az - She is entertaining - GO- C C . from Sam Hampton LaGrange,Ill.
Let’s hope Caitlin can “take it the house” . I truly coined that phrase many many years ago and most people don’t know what it means. I truly dud because I challenge anyone to explain how their interpretation was. We had a dairy farm outside San Antonio and our house was about 150 yards from the dairy barn. When we were done milking and cleaning up. I’d always say…..”let’s take it to the house”.
She wouldn't get a shot off in the NBA. Give me a break. Oh, she has the weight of the world on her shoulders? Really? Good athletes want the ball, period. The weight of the world is on the homeless, war torn people.Not Clark!
UCONN vs Iowa in the Final Four match will be a legendary battle between Caitlin and Paige. I want to see Clark win her first ring but I also want to see Geno win his 12th title (maybe get his revenge on SC).
Everyone loves a winner. If LSU had won, they'd be talking about Caitlin's turnovers in the first half and her lack of attention in letting the 5 second clock run out in the inbounds pass situation. If LSU had won, they'd be talking about Reese's 20 rebound performance on a gimpy leg. If LSU had won, they'd be talking about the layup opportunities blown several times by players on the receiving end of Caitlin's pinpoint passes. But that didn't turn out to be the storyline simply because the Iowa Hawkeyes won.
Man i love Angel Reese .. she really played her heart out last night ppl going hate regardless but Angel and Caitlin are the real reason Women’s basketball is back.
@@thegraffitiplayground1325you do know a lost doesn’t take away the fact she is a National Champion, Double Double Queen, breaking college records right?
Serious question...whats up with the one legging that angel reese has? I know aja wilson wears the same thing. Is it like a shooting sleeve but for your leg?
Probably a compression sleeve to help with circulation and preventing cramps. I’m guessing Reese has some nagging injuries on that leg and that would help manage the pain
@@wade2ndboy Not living there now, but either one and I’m fine. I would like Caitlin to have a championship, UConn men and women have so many, I think they are still the only University to have men and women win it all the same year! Maybe this year too. Crazy.
@zikemdg I feel that, but every UCONN great has at least one championship. We have no bench as is but we are losing a bunch of upper classmen this year. Paige best shot might be now
@@tonyg76facts. I was looking to see if someone was gonna say it. She rarely pulls up from mid range and often steps back if she goes over the 3 point line.
Exactly, so glad Robo called her counterpart out when she was trying to move over and talk about Kate and such. CLARK ASSISTS, she sets up the offensive, sooo important. If Clark did not do that, those other players would not be scoring.
If anyone is gonna have a chance against Clark they’re gonna have to double her from half court and full court pressure her. Get the ball out of her hands. You can live with the rest of the team beating you or not💯

Looking forward to seeing Caitlin finish her story
She isn't going to end on a high note. Not if she is playing SC. And yeah, you can say "but last year" all you want. It isn't THIS year.
@@V0ltronsame excuses you kids make for Lebron no ? But he played a way better Goldenstate team 😂

The “Hate” between these two teams, doesn’t exist believe it or not, only pushed by the MSM!
Wat did angel do that brought down the house? Lazy getting down court entire first half 3rd on her team in scoring and getting shot over by Clark?

All I’ve seen all year is how well she shoots. I finally watched one of her games, her vision and passing is incredibly underrated.

She's the reason I'm following women's ball more than the NBA this year. Crazy.
Totally agree, great game! One note I would like to make is Sydney and Kate stepped up, but they always step up. The way Iowa plays people in multiple positions can make those in season numbers deceptive.
It’s also important to note that Molly Davis started, and therefore their offensive numbers , and strategy based on opponent were different and ebbed and flowed in a way that can make the numbers deceptive. Especially with Sydney who was their go to on the bench, but didn’t have the minutes to be getting the numbers she is now.
Both Sydney and Kate are strong defenders, get rebounds , take hard fouls , and do the hard work behind the scenes that don’t get the attention they deserve. I think Sydney got one of her first double doubles in the Big 10 game and she wasn’t even mentioned in any reviews of that game.
So I’m not disagreeing with anything said here, I totally agree this was a great game for everyone on Iowa. They used three different post players as well and I think that was a good strategy to manage foul trouble and keep Angel responding to different styles of play.
I think it’s important though to highlight that behind the scenes , blue collar basketball makes those giant shots and killer passes possible.
She is so much fun too watch! Best of luck in the final four.
Hey, I'm from the west suburbs of Chicago and I have pick-up basketball with the best ( you name them) I watch - C C , play yesterday here in Tucson,Az - She is entertaining - GO- C C . from Sam Hampton LaGrange,Ill.
The last triple Clark took with about 2 minutes left she was in full Roy McAvoy mode... "I was playing to win"
Let’s hope Caitlin can “take it the house”
. I truly coined that phrase many many years ago and most people don’t know what it means. I truly dud because I challenge anyone to explain how their interpretation was.
We had a dairy farm outside San Antonio and our house was about 150 yards from the dairy barn. When we were done milking and cleaning up. I’d always say…..”let’s take it to the house”.
I will not challenge you...I get the drift 😀!
With the first pick of the draft, the Detroit Pistons select...Caitlin Clark!
She wouldn't get a shot off in the NBA. Give me a break. Oh, she has the weight of the world on her shoulders? Really? Good athletes want the ball, period. The weight of the world is on the homeless, war torn people.Not Clark!
Clark is good…YES. BUT NBA good…NO.
Caitlin Got That Big Girl They Had Last Season Drafted.. She’s The Truth..
LSU fan 💛💜. It was a great game! Not making excuses but after Reese ankle, LSU didn’t have a chance. Clark showed out!
We knew espn would quickly mention the ankle injury.
Hate it or love it…Reese was balling until the ankle injury. LSU FAN 💜💛. Congrats Iowa
UCONN vs Iowa in the Final Four match will be a legendary battle between Caitlin and Paige. I want to see Clark win her first ring but I also want to see Geno win his 12th title (maybe get his revenge on SC).
I like how ESPN didn’t even even mention that LSU didn’t stand for the national anthem
They were in the locker room, how do you know what they did or didn’t do? Why do you wake up looking to be offended
Of course they didn't. ESPN is a woke liberal station. They have been for years. It's why I don't watch sportscenter anymore. Bunch of snowflakes
@zacole187 Most would have taken A knee.
man she's crazy wonderful performance
Were witness history ppl Remember the name Caitlin Clark once in a lifetime generational talent never seen anything like it before
Everyone loves a winner. If LSU had won, they'd be talking about Caitlin's turnovers in the first half and her lack of attention in letting the 5 second clock run out in the inbounds pass situation. If LSU had won, they'd be talking about Reese's 20 rebound performance on a gimpy leg. If LSU had won, they'd be talking about the layup opportunities blown several times by players on the receiving end of Caitlin's pinpoint passes. But that didn't turn out to be the storyline simply because the Iowa Hawkeyes won.
That Is the case in every game.
Outstanding performance by CC. But they got Bueckers next...a Caitlin Clark with size if you will.
I love Andraya...more please!
She may be the 2nd most important basketball player to ever live.
Van lith running in circles confuse 😂😂
"We're not making excuses" 😂😂😂😂
They gotta have Caitlin in the final….the ratings will be through the roof 💁🏾
Man i love Angel Reese .. she really played her heart out last night ppl going hate regardless but Angel and Caitlin are the real reason Women’s basketball is back.
Yeah, I'm an Iowa fan but I think Angel is awesome. I wish more of the fans would emulate the players.
Glad Reese got humbled
@@thegraffitiplayground1325 lil girl if you don’t get off her Nuts! Go Eat a D*** ! You a PHD type person. Player Hating D***head!
@@thegraffitiplayground1325 Boy get off her N***s And Go Eat A D***!
@@thegraffitiplayground1325you do know a lost doesn’t take away the fact she is a National Champion, Double Double Queen, breaking college records right?
Serious question...whats up with the one legging that angel reese has? I know aja wilson wears the same thing. Is it like a shooting sleeve but for your leg?
Probably a compression sleeve to help with circulation and preventing cramps. I’m guessing Reese has some nagging injuries on that leg and that would help manage the pain
@@Ghostreader198 makes perfect sense. Didn't even think of that
I’m from CT and a UCONN fan, but Caitlin got me….
You'll wake back up soon
@@wade2ndboy Not living there now, but either one and I’m fine. I would like Caitlin to have a championship, UConn men and women have so many, I think they are still the only University to have men and women win it all the same year! Maybe this year too. Crazy.
@zikemdg I feel that, but every UCONN great has at least one championship. We have no bench as is but we are losing a bunch of upper classmen this year. Paige best shot might be now
#22 is a monster.
They do choose ( usually the smaller players) guards to defend against guards.
"clark scored or assisted on 67 of Iowas 94 points" ..wow
LSU coach got some swag
Caitlin Clark is very underrated and she have no weakness to her game at all. She will have bright future ahead of her!!
Underrated?? How? Everyone gives her the flowers she deserves lol
If she occasionally comes to a jump stop and takes that 8 to 12 footer when there's a big at the rim, it's over. Okay, it's almost over lol.
People say she can’t play defense. Those people are wrong. She’s the best all around player right now.
Her mid game is weak and she took some bad shots.
@@tonyg76facts. I was looking to see if someone was gonna say it. She rarely pulls up from mid range and often steps back if she goes over the 3 point line.
HVL has had some rough games vs CC going back. Good thing they’re friends, or I’d have to say it was personal like Larry Bird type behavior 🤣
Exactly, so glad Robo called her counterpart out when she was trying to move over and talk about Kate and such. CLARK ASSISTS, she sets up the offensive, sooo important. If Clark did not do that, those other players would not be scoring.
caitlin clark is great for womens basketball. she is bringing crowds and views
Poor defensive scheme
Facts
I see Kukoc Steve Kerr and Harper in ladies jersey yesterday afternoon….
#44 started to get physical and thats when Iowa and CC turned it up!!!!
The problem with defending Caitlin is she's not just the best player in the game today, she's the best scholar of the game too!!!
If anyone is gonna have a chance against Clark they’re gonna have to double her from half court and full court pressure her. Get the ball out of her hands. You can live with the rest of the team beating you or not💯
CC and Iowa are talented and classy.Congratulations.
CC is talented* not Iowa, she surrounded by bums.
@@shivi9799you don’t beat lsu with bums..they are good female players all over the court…she’s just way better than everyone,in your case ever player on lsu is bums too
