Caitlin Clark injured by Ohio State fan

Ohio State fans are the worst · 2024-01-21T17:24:03-05:00

After Ohio State upset Iowa in today’s women’s basketball game in Columbus, an Ohio State fan storming the court collided into Clark. Unacceptable. https://www.espn.com/womens-college-basketball/story/_/id/39356881/iowa-caitlin-clark-colliding-buckeyes-fan-kind-scary

Couple things
I have seen the video many times. From some angles it looks like she creates contact. Certainly exaggerated result of it. She gets dinged all game every game.
shooting close to 40% with a smaller ball thru regular hoop is good, its not exceptional beyond belief
she takes a lot of tough shots is is tightly defended every game
she does have a "me first" mentality and often gestures at team mates errors
That is a bad look

Meant 40% on 3's

.481 is solid given volume and having the ball at end of shot clocks trying to make a rushed attempt

Did she actually get injured?

She was probably more shaken up than anything. No real injury and she'll be fine. In the article below, this is what Clark stated:

"I could see they were storming the court, which was totally fine. Good for their students, great win for them,"

This is a lot of ado about nothing. Also, this is women's basketball. I thought that nobody cared about women's basketball. 🙄 This particular game had an attendance of nearly 19,000 so not too shabby.

I like to see fans storm the court.

Happened all the time with the Celts back in the 1960s thru 1980s.

It seems now the fans are afraid of security to do so in the NBA. Told when to cheer and what to cheer by the Big Screens and afraid to storm the court after a huge win. Sad.

When is the last time fans poured onto the court at an NBA game? I don't think it happens.

Does anyone know?

Anyway why are we still talking about this non issue? I thought this site prided itself on purposely not paying attention to women's sports? Glad to see so many 'nobody cares' types keeping this thread alive by submitting their opinions about how good Caitlin Clark is. Ill call that progress. But we should really be talking about Tara VanDerveer and what she just accomplished right now frankly.

You like to see trumpanzees storm the Capitol is what you meant to say.

Happy Caitlin Clark is OK and didn't die like the police officer who died defending his country.

re: Runner10287

For context, Caitlin Clark's fg% of .481 would be 13th among NCAA women's teams. Her 3 pt % would be 3rd among teams. She's not close to the top ten in fg% or 3 pt% individually. Interestingly, in stats per 100 possessions, one of the top 3 pt shooters in the NCAA does much, much better, the oft-injured Paige Bueckers, who shoots .565 from the field, .476 from 3, not nearly as good a passer or rebounder, but has 2.3 steals per game and gets an astonishing 60 pt differential between her offensive (136.8) and defensive rating (76.4) per 100 possessions, in comparison to Clark's 37 point differential, offensive (123) vs. defensive (86). Bueckers is of course on a deep squad but she makes a very big difference on both ends in comparison to Clark. Bueckers, of course, doesn't score nearly as much because she doesn't shoot nearly as much. Bueckers only takes 12.6 shots per game to get her 19.8 ppg, whereas Clark takes 22 shots to get 31.7 ppg.

Thank you for exposing Clark as the original OP was proven right that Clark flopped with that fan (gotta love camera angles!)... she's been exposed for what she is, a drama queen and poor shooter. Move on.

Dame Lillard's fg % is .43. I doubt many would call him a poor shooter. Paige showed in the all star game that she's among the best 3 point shooters in the country- female or male. Calling Clark a poor shooter/chucker is absurd.

How many times have you seen her play?

re: coach

That would be "dkjackson." Clark, as I have argued, is a terrific player, though she could be a better shooter and advanced stats suggest that Paige Bueckers is better on both sides of the court.

I think Curry's Three point % is higher than Lillard FG %
He is not a great shooter you can't make him one either in any analysis

not at .439 lifetime, anyway , he is a great scorer

and a great player on what were non contending teams , until now

actually you have been exposed as someone who has no comprehension of how basketball works. no matter how many facts you ignore or how much stat head gobbledygook other people post there is no way you can call .481 (top 100)/.400 (top 25)/.837 (top 75) "poor shooting". especially for a guard. but please continue being bitter and angry about her success.

re: king999

And his career FG% is .474

Caitlin's is actually higher. Granted it's different competition, but still. She can shoot. Anyone who's seen her play knows this, and it's not debatable. She's the best shooter in women's NCAA history.

Bueckers is more efficient because her usage % is lower. (26.8% this season and 25% for career. Clark's numbers are 40.4% and 37.5%.) If she played on the Iowa team (in place of Clark), she would have to take more shots and her shooting percentage would go down. She also does not have to create as many shots for her teammates with Nika Muhl on her side. Davis in the only other Hawkeye who could create shots for her teammates, and she is nowhere near the level of Muhl (who was 2nd in APG last season).

Clark is #1 in win share, while Bueckers is #4. That indicates Clark contributes more to the team than Bueckers.

By the way, for the sake of accuracy, not a single cop died during the 1/6 protest but one protester was shot to death by a cop

Bueckers showed in the 3 point contest what a great shooter she is, she probably would be kess efficient on Iowa but not necessarily less efficient than Clark. I'd love to see her in a 3 point contest against the NBA's best.
