Yeah, anyone who thinks Clark isn't a winning player is probably still holding some kind of grudge from her days at Iowa. It's actually only been about 5 months since our fans were heckling her in Assembly Hall. 

 

She had the first triple-double ever by a rookie, and did it against the best team in the league. She just set the single-game assists record, and did it while also scoring 24 points. Pretty amazing stuff. The Fever are horrific defensively and need to seriously address that in the offseason. 

Agree! Or the people who get upset about fans criticizing CMW, for thus far producing mediocrity!

He must not be a "winning" coach! 

Maybe Calbert Cheaney(one of my top 3 players) is not a winning basketball player either?

I believe she also broke the record for turnovers in a season, as well. To be fair.

It was annoying to watch her against IU, and generally annoying to me for a while to endure all the adulation and fan love -- but then the more I watched her play the more I recognized she's one of the best the women's game has ever seen, and she's just a rookie in the WNBA, and already, despite being heavily targeted and aggressively defended (the fouls on her are nuts), she's doing things no other player has done before her. She's a special player, hands down.

C.C. does it all at the highest of levels from playing at her best to playing at her not best.  (her remarkable play in pretty much every phase of the game gives her grace in the turnover statistic equal to the turnover statistic for two and a half players).

Would love to have a shot of this from either end line because I really want to know what she saw. From where she is I can’t imagine there looks like any angle there. Saw someone online comp her to Steve Nash and that’s a really good one.

There was a tunnel there, if only Griner had turned her head...

This would mean they’re potentially down to only 8 five-star scholarship players this season. They’re vulnerable.

They're leading the league in attendance just two years after averaging only 1,500 per game (not a typo). Clark's effect is unprecedented.

Wow, I didn't realize it was such a drastic shift in attendance.  That is incredible.  They have been fun to watch, no doubt about that.

Caitlin Clark should get 51% of WNBA ownership.

Talk about floor vision, heads up from the moment she has the ball

In higher and lower I predict IU Ladies a higher than a 7 seed in 2025 March Madness Tournament.

Curt Miller and L.A. Sparks agree to "part ways." 

Whoever wrote this didn't do much research. In talking about his different WNBA stints (his first was with Connecticut), it says: "He was the first openly g ay male coach in college or professional basketball when he joined the Sun." 

He was an assistant at Cleveland State, Syracuse and Colorado State and a head coach at Bowling Green -- and as we know, IU. 

It wouldn't have really been that difficult to look that up.

Note: Had to type g ay that way because when I tried ***, it gets censored (as you can see). That seems kind of asinine.

Isn't censoring the word, a slap in the face to the *** community? My daughter and her wife seem to think so.

Agreed.

@Hovadipo;

 Do you have the mod rights to amend that?

That’s an antiquated and poorly informed word deletion for the board. Let’s fix it.

Apparently, Katie signed up for a few more losses to IU!
