The 41 pts against a top ranked undefeated South Carolina in the semi-finals is wild enough. But seemed like anytime SC got the lead or hit a big basket, she’d answer right back with a well contested dagger 3. And those assists out of the pick and roll, and the perfectly placed full court outlet passes? Clark seemed directly involved in like 70 out of their 77 points. Honestly one of the best all around basketball performances I’ve seen - period.

Watching the last 2 seasons, the pick and roll of Monica and Caitlin has been on display for so many games. Glad the country is seeing what these two do better than any players in the country, men and women. A textbook teaching of how it is done. Of course it takes great hands and belief the ball will be placed perfectly to keep your roll smooth and in step sync to the basket. Monica never dribbles because the ball is put in the perfect spot for a one two step and then the soft layup. She hardly misses. Shoots close to 70%.

I went to Auburn, and when I was there the women's team were 2nd in the NCAA 4 out of 5 years. I played pickup with them women a lot, and I have good skills. I am a 6'4" guy (played DIII basketball), and on Auburn women's team I could have started at shooting guard or small forward. I would've gotten CRUSHED inside, as center or power forward, as I am WAY too small. Even though their team was great, they had NO ONE who was even close in ability to Caitlin...NOWHERE close. She moves smoothly and effortlessly with the ball, and has the vision and passing ability like an NFL quarterback...AMAZING long-ball passes. Her long-distance skills were WAY better than most guys playing college basketball. The only guy I saw in person/played against (pickup) who could shoot more long distance, easily, was Chuck Persons. She could've started at shooting guard to the vast majority of guy's teams in today's college basketball (counting ALL the 4 year colleges, not just DI). She would be too slow to play point guard, and too small for small forward, but her shooting and passing is the key for the shooting guard position. We used to watch SCAD (Savannah College of Art and Design), who was DIII. They had a girl as backup point guard, as they had no women's team (brand new school). Caitlin could've started at point guard, shooting guard or small forward for them, and they would've won a ton more games. When I played DIII, we played at GA Tech and lost by 4...we led almost the whole game. If Caitlin played for us, as shooting guard, we would have won, EASILY, and that is true even though there was no 3 point line (and no shot clock). Two of my grandparents were from Iowa (my parents went to Iowa State), and my Michigan grandparent went to Iowa, where his uncle was Professor of Physics at Iowa. He did field events for Iowa Track and Field and qualified for the US Olympic Trials, but didn't have the money to get there by train, so couldn't go. I also used to know the Iowa VB coach. Good to see Iowa showcased...

I didn’t even realize Caitlin beat SC lol was wondering who beat them when I heard they went undefeated last year too 😂 hope she can pull the title off this year

Dawn Staley got severely exposed by being out coached, there's Juco coaches out here who would of made the necessary adjustments with that huge lineup and destroyed Iowa. Dawn Staley had no clue on what to do,1st off why are you not taking the ball out of Caitlyn's hands with constant double teams instead of playing man. Carolina acts as if they did no scouting of Caitlyn cause if they did they would have forced her to her left where she's not effective. Then Dawn Staley is so simple minded that Iowa had 5 players guarding in the paint to stop the post players, and Staley consistently tried to force the ball into the bigs. Just plan assinine to the point she was yelling at her guards who were not covered at all, to force the ball into the paint and not to dare think about taking those open jumpshots. Even when the freshman guard hit a few 3 pointers on her on doing, you see Staley yelling at her on the next possession to pass the ball into the post instead shooting the open jumper. Dawn Staley and South Carolina won all those games by having a huge lineup not because of Staley's weak coaching efforts.

Actually, her 3 point shooting was not stellar in this game. I am surprised that Staley did not bring that to the attention of her players.

Caitlin Clark is all seeing on the basketball court. Another breathtaking performance. The Iowa pick and roll game was stellar. Number 25 is also number 1 in my book. Those two make a lethal Hawkeye combination.

Masterful game by Clark and the Iowa Hawkeyes.

The Iowa pick n roll was a beautiful thing to watch. Left SC flat-footed on D every time.

For all of you that don't seem to understand basketball, here are the facts. South Carolina bigs lack feet speed to keep up with Caitlin Clark. As you saw she was running circles around them and then when the quick perimeter players and guards switched up on her, she literally rained 3 pointers on them. South Carolina needs to play her same way NBA defensive teams defend Steph curry, pick her up full court and also trap her to prevent the back door runs she uses to get open. The girl is an elite offensive player with great IQ. Also they need to make her play defense by attacking her relentlessly to get her in foul trouble. Otherwise she will continue torturing them.

I went to Auburn, and when I was there the women's team were 2nd in the NCAA 4 out of 5 years. I played pickup with them women a lot, and I have good skills. I am a 6'4" guy (played DIII basketball), and on Auburn women's team I could have started at shooting guard or small forward. I would've gotten CRUSHED inside, as center or power forward, as I am WAY too small. Even though their team was great, they had NO ONE who was even close in ability to Caitlin...NOWHERE close. She moves smoothly and effortlessly with the ball, and has the vision and passing ability like an NFL quarterback...AMAZING long-ball passes. Her long-distance skills were WAY better than most guys playing college basketball. The only guy I saw in person/played against (pickup) who could shoot more long distance, easily, was Chuck Persons. She could've started at shooting guard to the vast majority of guy's teams in today's college basketball (counting ALL the 4 year colleges, not just DI). She would be too slow to play point guard, and too small for small forward, but her shooting and passing is the key for the shooting guard position. We used to watch SCAD (Savannah College of Art and Design), who was DIII. They had a girl as backup point guard, as they had no women's team (brand new school). Caitlin could've started at point guard, shooting guard or small forward for them, and they would've won a ton more games. When I played DIII, we played at GA Tech and lost by 4...we led almost the whole game. If Caitlin played for us, as shooting guard, we would have won, EASILY, and that is true even though there was no 3 point line (and no shot clock). Two of my grandparents were from Iowa (my parents went to Iowa State), and my Michigan grandparent went to Iowa, where his uncle was Professor of Physics at Iowa. He did field events for Iowa Track and Field and qualified for the US Olympic Trials, but didn't have the money to get there by train, so couldn't go. I also used to know the Iowa VB coach. Good to see Iowa showcased...

She is an elite scorer for sure, but the box score shows that she shot 5-for-17 from behind the arc, so it wasn't exactly elite shooting. But when they go in, it looks great. Those 5 threes that she hit are featured in the highlights reel, but not the 12 misses.

This was the best game. I think I ever watch in a long time.

Clark played one of the best games I've ever seen from a player playing their sport.

I was in the gym running about 4 or 5 weeks ago. No clue who Caitlin Clark was. The tv in the gym had Iowa on and she cooked whoever they played. 30+ points. Paid it no mind and just thought she had a crazy game (no sound on the tv). 3-5 days later Iowa was playing as I was home channel surfing. I decided to watch a bit of the game to see if she just had a crazy game a handful of days ago. She cooked again and ever since that day I have been tuned in.
