    I am a huge Iowa and Caitlyn Clark fan and as a rule I do not care for the SEC all that much. That said, I am really shocked South Carolina lost tonight, I thought they would win by 25. From the standpoint of being a WBB basketball fan, South Carolina, Coach Staley, Aliyah and her teammates are the real deal. It was a great game and a game that we should all feel thankful for the fact teams and players like those on both Iowa and South Carolina are the face of the sport. That face is beautiful.
    Coach Staley and Coach Bluder great job. Winning basketball games is great, teaching young women to win at life is so much bigger and all these young ladies speak volumes for the great job you are doing and you have always done. Thank you 😊, the sport is great, and you are all the face of sheer joy and the image of true sportsmanship that makes it that way.
    Winning is a tough thing to do, being humble and keeping defeat wholly in perspective is an even higher bar. For everything else there is South Carolina and Iowa and the fine young woman who represent for these 2 great programs.

    As someone from Iowa, I felt that this team played with class while playing a hard game. Aliyah is incredible as a player and a speaker. Whoever gets her in the WNBA is going to be a very lucky team. South Carolina as a team was great to play against, and it's too bad that one team had to lose.

      Class is when you acknowledge what a great player is instead of making excuses that they lost cause it was too physical. This is the only team including their coach that hardly gives credit to some one great like Caitlin Clarke.

She is taken it to a new level. What she said about the media was NEEDED and 100% accurate! 🔥🔥🔥🔥 Right on Coach! Much love from #LadyVolNation

      Lol. You seriously not mentioning Geno? Wow!! I guess 11 championships, 111 game, a 90 game, and a 70 game unbeaten streak, from three completely different squads, isn’t as impressive to you as SC’s 42. Whatever. Caitlin Clark does more for WBB because she’s such an exciting player to watch. The NBA was just getting by until two exciting players entered the league, Magic and Bird. They garnered interest for the league, and then came Jordan, the most unpredictable and exciting player ever. That’s what made the NBA big, and will also make the WNBA big, exciting to watch players. It’s far more them fun-to-watch players, than the coaches.

      " COLUMBIA, S.C. - South Carolina Gamecocks women's basketball coach Dawn Staley says she stands by her decision to cancel two games with BYU, despite a report that says there's no evidence the incident that led her to cancel the games ever took place.
      Staley issued a statement late Friday, hours after BYU said an investigation into allegations their fans engaged in racial heckling and uttered racial slurs at a Black female Duke volleyball player last month found no proof to back up the event.
      BYU said it reached out to more than 50 people who attended the event, including athletic department personnel and student-athletes from both schools, event security and management and fans who were in the arena. It also reviewed audio and video recordings and raw footage from the match.
      “I continue to stand by my position," Staley said in a statement .
      Classy ? She based her decision on a racist lie , then didn't have the class to reverse it

    Congratulations to Iowa! South Carolina will always be Champions and Dawn Staley has established a program that will continue to be at or near the top. Dawn Staley is a class act and so are her players. South Carolina has some of the most passionate, dedicated WBB fans in the country and that's awesome for the sport. But what a game! What a player in Caitlin Clark! And go LSU!!

    The season didn't end the way the team and fams all had hoped, but we are just soooo proud of all you. As in life, you won't win all the time. But a loss does not define you. YOU all control how you respond to loss or adversity. Allow it to make you better and more determined than ever in everything you do, on and off the court. Again, CONGRATULATIONS on a great season! Your hard work and dedication has taken Lady Gamecock BB, the university, the state of SC and women's BB to new heights! Good luck to each and everyone of you in all your future endeavors! #FamLove

    I love my gamecocks, but it seemed the starters were off their game last night with the exception of Zia. LOTS of missed shots and lapses defensively on the pick-n-roll giving up several easy buckets to Iowa made the difference. Raven should have started shooting from outside earlier in the game to draw defenders out of the paint. That was not even close to playing to our full potential and we still had a shot to win this game. Great season though. Great run. Next year should be just as good or better.

This sort of thing happens to gest teams, look up the 1990 UNLV Running Rebels losing to Duke in the Final Four after crushing Duke in the championship game by 30 the year before. My Uconn team losing to George Mason in the Elite 8 in 2006 as a 1 seed, or even my Uconn Women losing to Mississippi Sate the year before. When you are on top, it comes with having a target on your back every week. They will be back. Today, Iowa was the better team, and color has nothing to do with it. That Iowa team can ball!

      Raven Johnson shot 21% from 3 this year. They out rebounded them 25 -4 on the offensive boards at one point. Let them shoot look there week point is they never had outside shooting consistently all year that is the week point of this team. All year they had to offensive rebound if they didn't they would have gone down a few more times. I mean where did youwant Dawn to all of a sudden get consistent shooters pull them out of her butt. Outside shooting allows your bigs to get rebounds. With SC it made no difference all year outside inside shots they were gonna rebound either way because they're so big. I am sitting here trying to figure out what the hell your talking about LOL.

    SC dominated the boards and driving the ball to the basket. Iowa played better as a team, didnt miss as much and didnt turn the ball over as much. SC got outcoached and failed to adjust especially with Clark. She was the X factor and SC had no answer. All those things cost them the game.
