We live in a place where the superstar gets more attention than the overall better team. That said the first 2 parts of this video was about sc

It’s just happened 8 years ago by UConn.

Nah not in this weak society

Happens quite often in the NCAAW

This team has 12 five star recruits. Thats like having 12 current NBA all stars on one NBA team. Why would anyone be surprised that a 37-0 now 38-0 win the championship? This is why real basketball fans laugh at yall

Exactly size and depth made them undefeated.

Sure kate got 30… But shooting 10 for 28. Thats the difference maker. But SC had a strategy and all i saw was Clark camping outside the arc. That was going to be a recipe for disaster.

@@ChanningSwagum I would say Clark did pretty good considering Iowa was +10,000 to get to the final last season and +2500 this season. Not bad for a player on a team with only one top 25 high school recruit (Herself) as opposed to SC's 7. And you better go see an optometrist because by insinuating Clark was "Camping" it's undermining. She's been smothered this entire tournament and still got the Hawkeyes to the Championship. I'll tell you what Champ you go running through the paint doing layups against 3 women who are 6'7,6'5 and 6'4 collectively. The strategy was 6'7 Kamilla Cardosa for starters. You put Kamilla on Iowa and they are scoring 100 points all season. Since 1986 Iowa never sniffed a chance at the title. How's that for camping?

@@antonchigurh7227 well analyzed. SC too big and too good

@@ChanningSwagum Because anyone with a brain knew Iowa wasn’t winning the paint. Even CC knew that. It’s called bball IQ, and you got none.

Facts and she seemed so unbothered the entire time

Totally agree. This year was amazing competition for Womens Basketball.

This!

South Carolina had one lost last season before they lost to lowa in the tournament

SC was probably the least talked about undefeated team I’ve ever seen.

Shows you the reason why SC focused so hard on the Caitlyn Clark and didn't worry about the rest of the team. I guarantee next year Iowa wont make top 4 or even get out of the 1st round. Clark Hard carried the team for 2 years.

@@LILDroidDEX That’s untrue. We had one primary defender, Raven Johnson, on Clark after the 1st quarter. Our other team members focused on shutting down the rest of Iowa’s team and scoring for SC. That’s because we knew if the other teammates got hot, we would lose the game. I’m not even an Iowa fan but it’s annoying how the other girls are constantly discounted as if they bring nothing to the team. If you followed Iowa at all, you know they won when the other teammates were involved and they lost when cc shot over a certain percentage.

South Carolina went "undefeated" because Kelly Joly can't coach, and the one girl on Tennessee fouled to allow South Carolina to inbound the ball forty feet from the basket when otherwise SCar would have needed to heave a half-court shot.

@@Zenigundam they lost one game in 2 years but okay I'm sure you have credibility

@@Zenigundamdude just shut up

​@Zenigundam you sound completely ridiculous. This lost must have hurt you because your ringless goat didn't win.

SLAVE MENTALITY. SOUTH CAROLINA HAS 10+ FIVE STAR RECRUITS AND WAS EXPECTED TO WIN IT ALL. ON THE OTHER SIDE CAITLIN IS THE ONLY FIVE STAR WHO PUT HUNDREDS OF MILLION EYEBALLS TO WOMENS BASKETBALL, YES HUNDREDS. QUIT CRYIN LIKE A LITTLE SLAVE BLAMING EVERYTHING ON RACE.

Nasty work 😂

extra nasty work

Make it make sense😂😂😂

Does white privilege on another level😂😂😂😂

It’s sad

Rightfully so. 1 university has a name in college basketball and they get countless 5 and 4 star recruits meanwhile little old Iowa has 1 5 star recruit n a bunch of players n they will themselves to the finals two years in a row.

​@@420blowingsmoke*The referees cheated them in2 the Finals 2 yrs in a row. Literally got clips of ESPN talking about the sabotage vs WV & Tim Legs saying, "but we're glad" Caitlin advanced. That isn't fair 2 other players.

Except for Chiney Ogumike.

Yes! Yes! Yes! More of them please!

She brought a lot of fans to the sport tho, from a marketing stand point it makes sense to use her name 🤷🏾

They're barely talking about it now. Lol.

​@@carlcarrington9660They don't have 2 use it 2day. Losers of championship games are not supposed 2 get more coverage, but they have 2 explain away their great hype not getting it done.

@@disheemthomas4553 it’s a numbers and money game ESPN knows that, they know what will get all the clicks, shid tbh if it wasn’t for her and Reese I wouldn’t tune it in women college sports either

She is on every channel and she lost. So, she could not have been on any more channel that she is already without them creating other channels only to talk about her. Youn would think a team going undefeated would be the headlines and whatnot but I guess that os not that big of an accomplishment

Mostly true but Iowa would not have beaten Uconn without a lot of other players making plays and key points....it's still a team sport in the end.

All those names you mentioned for female basketball players never did what Caitlin Clark has done, those records broke of people watching they weren't watching for any other reason than Caitlin Clark. Swoops Miller Parker grinner taurrissi none of them brought the attention Clark brought, but let's not talk about that.

@420blowingsmoke No sir, I’m not going to let you get away with that. The main reason people were watching is because the hate in their heart they had for Angel Reese when LSU beat Iowa in last year‘s championship game, and Angel Reese gave Clark a taste of her own medicine. All of the CC fans started degrading the LSU ladies basketball team. Now take this L Home that South Carolina gifted you.

This is the social media age. That’s what gave them the leg up.

⁠@@420blowingsmokethat’s because those players didn’t have the media tht players have now. Without those players paving way Caitlin wouldn’t be reaping the benefits

@@420blowingsmoke If that were the case, viewership for any Iowa game should be 12 million -- if Caitlin Clark is the driving force, then any game Caitlin Clark played in should have generated 12 million views. Why didn't it? Because it is not all about Caitlin Clark, that's why. Not everyone wants to watch LeBron James or Steph Curry. We have our favorite teams. But a matchup between Steph and LeBron, well yeah, that gets 12 million views. For as long as I have followed basketball, a GOAT needed a ring. Karl Malone and Charles Barkley have accolades but no championship ring -- so no GOAT title. Now all of a sudden the women who win the ring contributed nothing to the sport -- only Caitlin Clark with no ring? I haven't heard one word about Cardoza and she was MVP. How does that happen? Get out of your feelings.

Because that loser is a winner. Period. Didn't you hear champ legend Dawn Staley? Go home. Women's basketball wins. You get it? Lol smiling here but SC needed Caitlin Clark for this game to be what it is. Game recognizes game

And all they want to talk about is Caitlin Clark😂😂😂😂😂

And that should be the focus.

It's not about the winning it's about Caitlin Clark almost winning 😂😂😂😂😂

Yeah Iowa also ranked number 1…losing 4 games against an undefeated team

That's why they didn't (and LSU) stand for the anthem. It's ridiculous.

Johnson cant shoot to save her life. Caitlin alone went toe to toe vs 10 future Wnba players tf.

Johnson may not can shoot but she locked her up second half. Also took Clark's 🏆 😂😂

​@@traviswhite1975it was 1 vs 9 yall proud of a WNBA team in 3yrs vs THE BEST COLLEGIATE PLAYER. EVER HAHAHDHJS

​@@hyacinth-lp7iuYeah and Johnson locked her up when they matched up.

​@@thechi2848she made 30 points idiot.

This is not their focus. They only want it to be about CC.

It has been done many times in the ncaaw😭😭😭

They need to back up the Brinks truck at her residence.

Because SC is not entertaining. Stockpiling talent and using size against other teams is what is wrong with the women's game. Many wouldn't turn in during the sports historical runs by different schools because of it. Super teams don't drive ratings, superstars do.

Nah bro I love their game I love Te-hina Paopao full time baddie and Taylor johnson and they got Raven and they got Cardoso good team boy

@Sukinero That's not the opinion of the new viewers by and large, but there's no rule people have to all prefer to watch wide open offense vs. a suffocating defense. Rules have changed and are more favorable to offense in many sports. To keep the eyeballs on the game it has to adjust to entertaining skill players. In the women's game specifically because unfortunately the tired narrative they aren't as good as men can be refuted by the logo 3s and tremendous passing of players like Clark.

@@5thgen916 I believe SC is entertaining. I believe doing what a coach is paid to do and recruit talent and height is actually what's right for the sport. I tune in to watch SC's historical run these past few years. And I do watch the game because of the super team, not the individual super stars.

@lawzlive There definitely are people such as yourself, but you are already a fan. It takes something different to attract new viewers and then a performance to turn them into fans.

Interesting to think if Tessa and Paige would have played for Minnesota.

Watch out for that freshman Maddy McDaniel o my God she is great

I am wondering that too!

Yes it is.

Exactly all she is offense

​@@lccanimations scoring 4 buckets in the 2nd half of the championship isn't impressive

@@lccanimations 0-2 in the Championship game but somehow she’s the GOAT😂. Dribbling like Bob Cousy, shooting bricks from 30 feet, not even trying on defense nah her hero ball failed and is not impressive.

@@lccanimations Playing against a team with a overhyped shooter and the refs and you still win, that's impressive.

No offense but isn't the NFL really that also? You can have 22 players on the field on either offense or defense but if you don't have the QB you really aren't going nowhere . Where is K.C or New England without Mahomes or Brady? But you are 100% correct basketball is really only about one key player

@@youthinkyouknowme5551 none taken. I agree with you, but American football isn't so reliant on the individual marketability of it's players. It's much more about the team. Although, American football probably has the most impactful position in all of sports, QB, I believe fans follow the team, not the individual, not true when it comes to basketball. That's why NBA players have much more influence and leverage on the the franchises than NFL players.

@@djedman10 Points well taken .

Ironic thing is that if LSU hadn't missed so many point-blank shots, they would have beaten Iowa.

All those bricks Clark was throwing up is pretty frustrating as well.

Her starters scored the 1st 7 points & shot 15-32. Caitman was 10-28 & wouldn't stop shooting 2 even involve them, JUST LIKE last yr. What game were you watching? 😂 I'm pretty sure they're just as mad they got no help on defense as well. Caitlin Jenner totaling 0 stls & 0 blks 4 the 2nd straight time in a natty. 😭

​​@@disheemthomas4553 you're delusional. There were MANY passes from Clark to her teammates that they missed layups or point blank shots or were blocked. Didn't try to involve her teammates? You're smoking crack. Blocks? You really think a 6' guard is gonna be out there blocking 6'3-6'7 players all game? Did you really think that was a knock? Just say that you yourself have never played sports a day in your life but you have many stupid fkn opinions... Side note- Clark did actually have a really nice clean block during the game that the refs somehow found a way to call a foul. It wasn't and wasn't even close.

Nobody is making excuses for Caitlin. She's one of the greatest to ever do it. She had to carry her team on her back for 4 years. She never had the big-time talent on her team like South Carolina does, but dragged her team to two NCAA championship games! She's a generational player

Will you have to understand😮 The day before she had to do her hair and also the wind was blowing in the wrong direction and also she just wasn't feeling right and also she needed to properly drink some milk 🍼

Hey lifetime idiot. When Clark entered the Iowa basketball program it's absolutely astonishing and extraordinary to think that the Iowa Hawkeyes got to the finals 2 straight years. Since 1986 when the program began the Hawkeyes never even sniffed the final 4 let alone get to the Championship. The odds of Iowa getting to the Championship in 2023 were +10,000 and this season they were +2500. For context that's like saying the CHARLOTTE HORNETS are going to get to the NBA finals. On a team with no size on the boards or in the paint it's remarkable what Clark and her teammates did. Any illiterate who attempts to undermine her accomplishment is either a special needs adult or an envious insidious lifetime nobody. My guess - probably both ,with a little bit of Incel tossed in for good measure

💍Reese 💍Cardoso 💥Clark

Doesn’t need one in college

i think the main problem was rebounding. The rebounding was huge difference in this game.

@@johnsepulvedacruz6428 🎯

You're both right, all of the above. Hannah Stuelke had to deal with a rotation of 4 post players, and Caitlin had 4 guard rotation. Fresh bodies who could foul, rebound, and out pace over time.

Nah yo girl got clamped Iowa played this brand of ball all tournament

ZERO bench points is wild

People love to focus on negativity instead of positivity

I agree with you. They gave Clark alot of praise and it was well deserved. She hard carried Iowa for two years. SC still did a great job as a team and should also be proud of their successful season.

Love it!!!!! Love it!!!!! That comment killed me😁😂🤣😅😊😆😄😀😋

Yes... diversity is key ...

I don't know how true this statement is but it sure is funny!!! I am tickled PINK!!! 😭

no top 25 recruits are going to Iowa 😂

😂😂😂😂😂

*EXACTLY*

I sure would also in a “team” sport.

Thank you! I said the same thing!!!

No we still need to talk about the heart of Caitlin Clark you still need to talk about the essence of Caitlin Clark we need to talk about the Caitlin Clark of Caitlyn Clark We still need to talk about how big her adams apple is, we haven't even finished talking about that part yet😂

@@brandonleemoss Yet, she has a boyfriend while thug Reese wears wigs and eyelashes looking like Sid the Sloth and can't get one

🤷🏿

terrible take with all due respect of course.

Angel Reese is the goddess of basketball. I love it when she is in her bag.

Exactly nobody even knew who she was until Angel Reese made her famous🎉💜💛💜💛💜💛💜💛💜💛

​@@joggyjamesthat's actually fully accurate nobody knew who she was until LSU played them😮

​@@kurtericmunroe9358well apparently she got another signing deal so I think her net worth might not be over 5 million😂🎉😂🎉😂🎉
