Because Caitlin was the best player in ncca women's hands down no competition.....South Carolina has the best team in Ncca Women's basketball but that's a team effort not individual so it's not a sexy headline that will get attention....The media will always follow hype and headlines when a phenom is breaking records and has a chance at a title as the ultimate goal to solidify their Greatness.... Everyone knows that..
Tessa was amazing today

Freshman Tessa came to play, the entire team for SC had the desire and heart to win this game. Congratulations SC Champions this was your time to shine
Well deserved SC! Y’all went undefeated and built a dynasty
Love her game, calm and collected. Balances out the team
Tessa Johnson snapped her left femur in half in high school. The dang thigh bone - and not just a fracture, but a clean break. The strongest bone in the body - and arguably one of the most important for mobility, balance, and stability when you consider how many (and the importance of) muscles, ligaments and tendons it supports. Think about that when you watch her glide up and down the court - drive to the basket - step back and hit the midranges, etc. She is fearless. The fact that she plays at such a high level with that kind of traumatic leg injury is so impressive. She is one to watch for many years! She has quickly become one of my favorites on the team.
Just found out that back in high school she suffered a major injury (a femur break! )and she is HERE dropping 19 points and winning the NCAA Division I Women’s National championship as a freshman. I don’t know if we even realize how more than incredible this is. Just jaw-dropping for me.
Amazing to go undefeated in any elite sport, congrats to the Gamecocks and they deserve all the attention for that alone.
Johnson reminds me of Jasmine Carson performance last tear. 3x3s. Well done SC
TESSA JOHNSON HAD A COOKOUT IN THE NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP GAME!!!!🏀🏀🏀🔥🔥🔥
Cardozo had 15 points, 17 rebounds, 3 blocks and some other altered shots. She's dominant on the boards and defensively. South Carolina will miss her.
A star in the making!!!!!!!⭐️🏆

I have a really good feeling about Tessa. She went above and beyond this season. Menace!
Balled out!
So many weapons on this team. Tessa was the x-factor!!!!!
Did anyone honestly think Iowa was going to win this? They won by 1 point against a team that had at least 60 points sitting on the bench. And they won that by way of ref

It was so obvious... I think they were ordered by the powers that be to give Iowa those last two wins, too... even the commentators have been talking mostly about Caitlin Clark than any other player. Sue Bird predicted an Iowa blowout. I don't know what she was thinking. She must not have been watching SC all year.
I love watching Iowa get CLAPPED and I mean CLAPPED....2 YEARS IN A ROW!
Wow amazing performance by the south Carolina Women team this afternoon was a tough and physical and mental game tonight but by the end of the clock they came out in top.Hopefully they will win the championship this year. Great contributions tonight and efforts from Ashlyn,Kamilla ,Te-hina, Raven Johnson and Tessa Johnson tonight.But for me the MVP player goes to Tessa Johnson her 19 points lead South Carolina to the victory and prevented them from being eliminated. But on the defense end this afternoon was a big and great game coming from Kamila her 15 points and 17 rebounds This is a great night for Gamecocks fans and Dawn Stanley as well.

With a stroke like that Tessa will always be confident. I get mad when she doesn’t shoot her open shots. Coaching staff finally cut her loose & it paid off.
Tessa's all around game is superior to Clarke. Just a better all-around point guard.

South Carolina wasn't relying on one player like Iowa was. If Caitlin Clark were to go to the bench for any given reason the margin of defeat for Iowa might have set a Championship game record.
Tessa is a baller great shooting Tessa congrats an ty

LOL.. Thing is Coach Dawn Staley and the Game Cocks had a vastly different point of view. Long live the QUEEN!!
Don’t know any players, except C. Clark. Looked at the leading scorer on the winning team. She’s a freshman. Boom 💥 congratulations on winning a trophy youngster!
They overcame the refs shitty calls, justice for UConn was served
More SC love flood it espn I know it hurts you yahoos to do this but the better team won
Good job ladies ❤

I didn’t hear anything about S Carolina all year. Nothing but Caitlyn Caitlyn Caitlyn. Didn’t watch the game, but sounds like Iowa is pretty weak except Caitlyn. Crazy this sport is doing better than the weak NBA.
