and again, since I have lived thru all these eras and am old enough , I know the whole Delta State , 1977. ODU with from NJ 6'8 " Ann Donavan, while the teams might be categorized as great? There was no where near the depth down to let's say 12 that there is today. Not even close. Again, I saw the whole era, thru now. how many on here legitimately have? And there is ZERO comparison of the overall game and skill set.

You are looking and trying to make a point, and I am using the eye test, as I saw all of it.

Yet South Carolina is able to go undefeated this year and usually UCONN goes undefeated - oh but the competition is so much greater now! Yeah right.

Usually? Is 5 times in 31 years?

wow you are clueless or really bad at math

just like your shooting % examples which could not have been more inaccurate as even to the methodology

i tried to warn you on this, you are not nearly expert enough to deal with my game on this stuff

i have watched hoops for over 58 years

What I've seen this is not about Clark; she's a great player. It's about how her coach uses her. The fact that she gets touches and shots every time down the floor was extolled by the analysts as they felt it was a positive that Bluder "turns Clark loose". I think it hurt them just enough to not get a championship.

We saw this in Chicago with Michael Jordan. The Bulls could never get to to finals because Jordan had the ball way too much and as defenses like the Pistons "Jordan Rules" showed, they double and triple teamed him to make the rest of the team beat them.

Phil Jackson said the success of the Bulls championship teams started when Jordan started to give up the ball more and switched to point guard and involve his teammates.

Isn't this Luka Doncic's problem too?

Caitlin Clark is a legend. She did not have anywhere close to the supporting cast South Carolina did. You can't do it all by yourself against a team that deep.

Exactly. It’s extremely difficult to win when your bench gets outscored 37-0.

But don't expect LRC dumbfks to actually think before they post

Seriously she takes shots from behind the arc too often, doesn’t follow her shots, whines for fouls, turns the ball over too much, sure she can shoot well sometimes but she has way too many glaring weaknesses that can’t be ignored.

I agree it was a messy 30pts and they bottled her up pretty well. Still a goat and its not even close.

Lynette Woodard scored almost as many points with no 3-pt shot and she was using a bigger ball than Clark.

And the overall players no where near as good

Clark shot 46% (career) from 2 pt. and 37% from 3-pt. She was shooting with a smaller ball but the circumference of the rim was not proportionally smaller. Clark was greatly aided by this.

Woodard shooting percentages:

Yr. 1 50%

Yr. 2 56%

Yr. 3 50%

Yr. 4 53%

So, she averaged 53% overall (including behind the non-existent arc at the time)

Woodard averaged 15 Rebounds a game for her career.

Clark averaged 7 rebounds a game.
