This game felt like it was white girls vs black girls. The whites have won this one loll. Please don't flame me... just a random observation lol

Seriously though... Clark is on another level... no one close to her on the court.

Was really surprised the looks that Clark got during the game and that Staley never sent any hard doubles. But then again Clark’s passing probably spooked them

It was pathetic they didn't go box n 1 at the very least. Even at the end, they didn't double her so she wasn't the one shooting the game clinching free throws. Just horrible coaching tbh

If she wanted to go to Iowa then it makes sense....I stand corrected. I just don’t see many talents at her level NOT being at the blue blood school for their sport -
