Funny how ESPN stopped flooding notifications about women’s basketball when South Carolina won 😂😂😂
They r bias
Their white hope lost
Exactly... Lmao!
Facts
Crazy I was just saying this smh
I would like to see media pump the SC story like they pump Clark’s story.
While I love Caitlin Clark and all that she has accomplished, it's time to give SC their props as well!
74-1 over the last two seasons is an insane feat. Congrats to SC and Coach Dawn
They have to do it. They have to promote something that is different. Or what they perceive as we have been seen in a long time.
Their record is amazing and i'll give them that, but no single person on that team has done what Caitlin has done in her career. All the records she's broken along with her MJ/Kobe killer instinct is what attracted all of the attention to her. It's team ball ultimately, and the better team won, but Caitlin and her accomplishments and flare are what put butts in seats, no way to deny it. Hats off to SC all in all, though. Was a good game, and only going bring more eyes to the women's game, so nobody really loses.
Maybe people are rooting for Iowa because they’re underdogs, not Clark. Putting SC there with Alabama, tired of hearing about them all the time. For me it’s nice seeing a new team out there making a difference.
The media spent more time talking about Clark, and about the Coach of South Carolina but little time talking about the individual players on South Carolina team that made the difference. The went undefeated all year, and took down the team that they all had picked to win the National Championship. Congratulations to the South Carolina!!!!!
The racists are always present to stop you from progressing.
White Media. . .Lots of biases when one of their own shines like Black folks.
Hard to talk about individuals with a bench that deep
@@RemyKingKenYeah okay 😉
especially Cardoso she’s really good
South Carolina has 2 starting line ups 🤣 Them girls all play defense and they all can score. That's a complete TEAM!

Bench Scoring: SC 37 pts...Iowa 0 pts.
Such a wild stat and SC only had 2 players play more than 30 minutes while 4/5 of IOWAs's starting five played 35+ min. Iowa was taxed and gave up too many offensive rebounds

Yeah it's pretty obvious. And pitiful. Fox is the worst.
@joestupid2571 - So is ESPN!! After the game they followed Clark all over the court then going into the locker room instead of showing SC celebrate. ESPN sucks!!!
Clark is the #1pick in the draft. That is why they are talking about her. And Clark will probably increase WNBA viewership making it more profitable. I do not think they are disrespecting SC.
@glennk9p - After the game they showed Clark walking around the court then back to the locker room but should have been showing SC's celebration. I'm sure Clark didn't want freaking cameras in her face following her back to the locker room. They were hoping to get a reaction out of her but she remained stoic. To me, that was disrespectful. ESPN has talked about her near storybook ending but should be also talking about how SC lost their entire starting lineup and had to start all over again with mostly freshman & sophomores on the court and with that not only went undefeated during the regular season but they also won their conference championship and the national title. That's a good story to report. Not how Caitlin almost made it.
Facts !! 3 losses in years...?
Only in America do you keep talking about the lower and not the winners. You didn't hear this any other year. It's ridiculous. Cardoza MVP, no one is talking about her.
You run a food truck with hotdogs and hamburgers. Your hamburger is rated best in nation but everyone buys the hotdogs, like 80% of your income come from the hotdog. Which one would you advertise to make money?

I think that Raven Johnson is the MVP of this game bc she completely shut down Clark. Clark scored 18 pts in the first quarter alone, and as soon as Raven started defending her, she scored only 12 pts in the next 3 quarters. If it wasn't for this defense, I truly believe that the game would be way closer. She had 4 steals and 2 blocks too, all of them on Clark.
😂😂😂😂
She played an excellent game. Raven did.
Great point once Clark started her chucking it was over for Iowa. One of the most inefficient players I've ever seen that gets so much praise.
@@bigwick30038Big Facts 💯. Preach.. Clark loses the ball, throws bad passes, shoots terrible 3’s. Most importantly, she’s not mentally ready for the big moments. 👸🏾 LOCKDOWN

Played first 😅
❤
Tessa Johnson was unstoppable
I could tell just by how confident she started off that she was about to have a game. Clark got pretty much clamped by Johnson after the first quarter.
Boy I tell you what. This South Carolina team is the best all round girls team I’ve ever watched. From the defense. The relentless offense downlow. The ability to knock down shots from outside. It was a lovely thing to watch. Today is proof that even if a team have the better player. The best overall team will more than likely come out the victor.
Geno and maya moore
I dunno, put Cardoso on Iowa's team and the score is probably flipped. 6'7" is a cheat code in the women's game.

U bad
The problem with the new generation is that anyone born prior to 92 didn't grow up with a cell phone. If you had one it was a super basic flip phone and you were priveledged lol. 100 text messages and 100 minutes for 150 dollars and that was high school. There was no smart phone. IPhone 4 s4 era you were already past 21 lol. There was no instant glazing!!!! She is raw super raw. But people forget about uconn. Queen Diana aka 3 rings etc 3 mvps 2 Naismith awards more efficient Then clarke at everything. C Parker 2 rings 2 mvps in 3 years. 2 wooden awards one Naismith. A walking 20 10 with almost 5 blcks stls combined. Substantially more skilled and better then angel could dream of being. Angel just gets boards and layup. Candace had handles and a super j. She was a point forward lebron type for women. Diana to. B stewart.... 4 rings 4 years 4 mvps. 3 Naismith 2 woodens... same as Candace 20 10 walking. 5 blcks stls combined. And dominated both sides. Demanded respect. They all had half the turnovers at caitlin!! And that is the difference between 2 rings or no rings. 2 TOs compared to 5. Steward without a doubt has a substantially better career. She shot better from 3s and 2s and basically fts the same her senior year. Not to mention they went like 155 and 2 in 4 seasons!!!!! That is greatness!!!!!!!!!! Iowa can't win a ring. Stewart carried and couldn't lose a ring. All user leader and champion!!!!! Incredible to not lose. If a team went 155 and 2 and won 4 straight rn the internet would SHATTER AND CLOSE DOWN. OMG. JUAT IMAGINE. STRAIGHT GOAT. CLARK IS A TOP 5 TALENT AND A TOP 10 PLAYER BUT SHE AINT REMOTELY CLOSE TO BEING THE GOAT OF COLLEGE BALL. Shout out Maya Moore! Over 100 straight wins and 2 straight rings!!!! Another internet breaker. As well as 2 mvps 2 woodens 2 Naismiths another 20 10 massive stls and blocks combo. And no turnovers! she could shoot it. If she was allowed to shoot like clarke she would have averaged 30 easily. She had a way better 3 point percentage. Maya had a better career then clarke as well.

I think Dawn got a warning for arguing after that. Clark pushed her hard and no penalty followed.
Neither sport announcer said a word. I had respect for Rebecca Lobo. But no more! Such a fake person. Do you think the reason she has so many open shots is because she is never given a foul.

It reminded me of the San Diego State-Creighton men's games last year when the refs let San Diego St mug Creighton and steal the game.
@@iliatoputopu Yes, probably. We could sense that today. But regardless she's gonna be multi millionaire, fact.
You tell me how an undefeated team isn't even being talked about... How?? Why?? 🤔🤔🤔
Those second chance points/ offensive rebounds, killed IOWA....The SC defense was SMOTHERING, as well.....
Pure class by SC Coach Dawn Staley!!! The praise she gave CC and IOWA was a Respectable gesture.
Rebounds and Bench scoring won this game.
Pure class? She thinks men should be able to play women sports. That's low low low class.
@@spiritualp9442Y'all mad ASF yall GOAT didn't get it done...😂🤣
@@spiritualp9442 Stop crying.
Yeah she gave Caitlin Clark her flowers in the trophy presentation and whatnot. I thought both coaches in teams were pretty classy and the referees did make some lousy calls on both sides but then it seemed like they made up for it with good calls on both sides
@@AHMAD-2324Facts!! They need to get a cape a be super mad!! Haters!!
“Paopao… YES, YES!” Is pure gold 😆

Where did they find her in a remote island
@@undisputedtruth6176Oregon…
We call her shots fired, lights out Pao Pao. When she went into the transfer portal. She said that no one wanted her. Also she said that Dawn was the only school and coach to reach out to her. Big win for her and us.🏀🏀🏀
@@undisputedtruth6176she’s Samoan.
Tessa Johnson is the reason SC won this game. Huge impact with her shooting!

Yes it was nobody talked about how deadly she was from 3pt
@@rwahid82 everyone talked about it!!! Watch the press conference
South Carolina got a lot of fire power 🔥
Raven did such a good job on Clark. We don’t win without her!
YUP! It's crazy that Raven defended her so well especially after Clark waved her off last year. She remembered that.
Caitlin still scored her average lol yall goofy
@@brittainwelch8380 She only scored 12 points while Raven guarded her, in 3 quarters. That's less than half her average points in a 3 quarter span.
@@brittainwelch8380wahhhh cry to yo mammie 🤣
@@brittainwelch8380and that’ll hold you 🎯
This is why the media needed to chill on the goat conversation about her. She will be facing in the wnba players who have won national an wnba championships.
can’t be the goat without a ring 💍
She is the goat. She is the Goat of Iowa basketball. 🤭
💯
So what? Having a ring doesn’t add ability. If Clark had a deeper bench backing her up she would have one too.
@tommym321 the bottom line is there will be dozens of players better then her in the wnba. Yes she had 30 but once SC played better defense she was shut down 18 in first quarter an 12 from the 2nd to end of game. If this had been Reese or Johnson or a few others the media an some folks would be saying negative stuff. Instead blame the supporting cast lol.
Big ups to SC. Good game right there. Undefeated for the season is totally beastmode and locking in. That's flawless victory. Good job girls.
Steph Curry found out the hard that no matter how many 3s you shoot from beyond the arch its still a team effort. S/o to SC for playing a full game of basketball and team effort.
Basketball is not a one man show its not 🎾🥊⛳. Its a team sport and teams win championships. Congrats to SC for showing what thats all about.🏆
I'm in tears!! I asked Joe if we could invite the second place white girls to the white house again......he told me don't even think about it!!! 🏀
Exactly
That's right, the Chicago Bulls without Michael Jordan would have won just as many NBA titles, not a one person show.
@@rickzane6433but Chicago won only with Jordan. Never without despite having the same team during his first retirement. Nice try though doofus
The problem with the new generation is that anyone born prior to 92 didn't grow up with a cell phone. If you had one it was a super basic flip phone and you were priveledged lol. 100 text messages and 100 minutes for 150 dollars and that was high school. There was no smart phone. IPhone 4 s4 era you were already past 21 lol. There was no instant glazing!!!! She is raw super raw. But people forget about uconn. Queen Diana aka 3 rings etc 3 mvps 2 Naismith awards more efficient Then clarke at everything. C Parker 2 rings 2 mvps in 3 years. 2 wooden awards one Naismith. A walking 20 10 with almost 5 blcks stls combined. Substantially more skilled and better then angel could dream of being. Angel just gets boards and layup. Candace had handles and a super j. She was a point forward lebron type for women. Diana to. B stewart.... 4 rings 4 years 4 mvps. 3 Naismith 2 woodens... same as Candace 20 10 walking. 5 blcks stls combined. And dominated both sides. Demanded respect. They all had half the turnovers at caitlin!! And that is the difference between 2 rings or no rings. 2 TOs compared to 5. Steward without a doubt has a substantially better career. She shot better from 3s and 2s and basically fts the same her senior year. Not to mention they went like 155 and 2 in 4 seasons!!!!! That is greatness!!!!!!!!!! Iowa can't win a ring. Stewart carried and couldn't lose a ring. All user leader and champion!!!!! Incredible to not lose. If a team went 155 and 2 and won 4 straight rn the internet would SHATTER AND CLOSE DOWN. OMG. JUAT IMAGINE. STRAIGHT GOAT. CLARK IS A TOP 5 TALENT AND A TOP 10 PLAYER BUT SHE AINT REMOTELY CLOSE TO BEING THE GOAT OF COLLEGE BALL. Shout out Maya Moore! Over 100 straight wins and 2 straight rings!!!! Another internet breaker. As well as 2 mvps 2 woodens 2 Naismiths another 20 10 massive stls and blocks combo. And no turnovers! she could shoot it. If she was allowed to shoot like clarke she would have averaged 30 easily. She had a way better 3 point percentage. Maya had a better career then clarke as well.
You can have the best player... But the best team has the better odds
Fr
Hey, hey, that isn't true. If you have the best player, it doesn't matter the other team. I'm trolling, of course. For over two decades, sports media told us if you're the best player, you're on the best team.
She is not the best player! She maybe the best scorer but a complete player plays both offense and defense. You can't be considered the best player only when you excel on the offensive side yet, you are a dumpster fire on the defensive side.
@@theodorerobert6579 who's better then her on SC and Iowa?
@@melvinbarnett1910 💯
South Carolina is an amazing team. Great coaching. Great players.
Fulwiley causes such a disruption when she comes in the game...the pace changes, and she's everywhere. The opponent don't know what to do to stop her...Tessa Johnson is a bad girl...them two together is the "wrecking crew"
The whole South Carolina team can go to the WNBA. Faster, stronger and better skill level. Well done
I agree some of them are just as good as angel
I’d hope some of them actually choose respectable career paths.
Raven Johnson got her revenge for Clark waving her off last year. How many times did she take the ball from Clark today? I don't know. Many. Sometimes another Iowa player recovered the ball, but Raven still took the ball from Clark. And that steal from Clark and layup just before half was the beginning of the end for Iowa . Congratulations beautiful black sister. I knew you would redeem yourself. Congratulations to you, Dawn and all of So. Carolina St. 2024 women's NCAA Champions. HOLLA
That bench was just too deep. Too many weapons.
Like height?? That's all I saw. Iowa only gets one shot. SC gets 3 shots on average. Simple math
At halftime Dawn must’ve went into that locker room and told the ladies to tighten up and they did just that and showed up and showed OUT!!!Legendary!!!Congrats to Dawn and the team!!!They make me proud to be a South Carolinian baby‼️(I couldn’t be a coach because it would have my anxiety on 10‼️)Dawn great job as always!!!
This will go down as one of the most important games in women's basketball. Classic already
Sure will. For various reasons.

@@nurhayat81 Lol ok, well she's got records that are going to be there for a whiiiiile, chip or not. Give her a 6'8" center towering over everybody else for boards and we're having a whole different conversation right now. SC won, and good on them, but nobody is going to remember them over time. Caitlin was a little beast that put butts in seats with her flare and ability. If Iowa lost out in the first round and all you had were the rest of the teams, tell me the viewership would be even remotely close. She's the only reason anybody wanted to watch, and ultimately will inspire more girls to want to play, and for people to want to watch women's basketball. That is a fact you just really can't get around. Hats off to SC though, and congrats on the championship

Sorry people have been racist to you in the past. Vote in November.
MiLaysia Fulwiley off the bench was the difference maker. CC and Cardoso were gonna do their thing but the second Fulwiley stepped on the court she changed the pace of the game all on her own and continued to apply that pressure for the rest of the game. the box score might not reflect it but she really was the sneaky mvp lowkey. Also shoutout Kate Martin shes a great playmaker and leader.
How many yards did that running back get here??
I disagree respectfully the difference maker was T. Johnson, FulWiley provided a spark here and there however she only had nine points and was four 4-11 from the field. Johnson had 19 and paopao had 14. And let’s not forget Raven Johnson defense it took Clark 28 shots to get 30 points.
The box score doesn't reflect it... But Clark got absolutely locked down by USC's defense for the final 3 quarters.
She's going to be a star. I see them repeating.
It was both freshmen.. Fulwiley was breaking down the defense constantly and allowing for offensive rebs., Johnson was hunting buckets and ready to shoot..next yr is lookn crazy for them..imo
It’s crazy how the commentary was so upbeat for Cc and it was blah for the SC who won lol
SC 3 year record is nuts. Ended with an undefeated season. What a ride.
You can see it in the tears in Coach Dawn eyes she knew most people was pulling for Iowa and all the success Carolina has over the last few years especially this year nobody was talking about that seems like they pushed Carolina to the side but that’s ok 🏆🏆🏆

@@stormyweather9917 stay mad
nah uconn women's basketball is an empire: 11 championships. South Carolina is on a good run. ways to go to be an empire
Comparing UConn’s 11 to SC 3 is like comparing bill russel rings to modern day players rings… it’s not weighted equally, There wasn’t really any competition back then other than the vols. Don staley is the queen of college basketball men’s or women’s. ✊🏿👸🏾
That may change since she wants dudes playing in womens basketball. If I was a girl I wouldn't go play there knowing there could be a dude walking around in my locker room.
