"Top-tier boys' high school team" vs this years Iowa women's team. Who wins?

What's your point? It makes no sense to run down women playing against women by comparing them to bigger and stronger males? Seriously, do you have a daughter and would you devalue her accomplishments? Pathetic.

I still am not a fan of a lot of WNBA playing styles. It always looked herky jerky to me. But this new batch of women's athletes are way more fluid. They play a lot more like men. Anyone griping about it hasn't watched recent women's bball. Caitlin clark is a prime example of that. She dribbles and shoots like we're used to men doing.

Obviously they aren't as good as men. But who cares? Women arent as strong or powerful in gymnastics or figure skating either. They aren't as fast as men but it still is exciting to watch as long as the stakes are high and their competitors are on a similar level. I mean hell, half of these schools in the men's tourney won't have a single nba player. The talent is a hell of a lot worse than NBA. But who cares?

Failing as a parent? I'd rather expose them to higher quality basketball and give them something to aspire to, rather than sending the message that if they work really hard, they'll still never be as good as mediocre men.

Tell that to the people shitting their pants because Clark broke the scoring record, as if she topped what Maravich accomplished.

You truly are a shitty parent if that's your attitude. "Hey honey, if you are not as good as a man at a sport, you are not worthy of my praise or my time to watch you participate..."

Who's shitting their pants? I haven't seen one article where anyone says she was better than Pistol Pete. They just pointed out she had more points, but it's and apple to oranges comparison.

It's also funny you don't give a shit, but spend time in here posting about it.

God forbid a young girl become a tragic case like Caitlin Clark who's making millions while in college playing a game she loves but will never be as good as men.

Once again I find myself wondering why people who don't like something feel the need to enter a thread and shit on people who do like it.

Don't like women's basketball? Then don't watch it. What is gained by going into a thread about women's basketball and complaining about it?

Some weird takes here. Obviously comparing CC to Pistol Pete is dumb. Pistol Pete didn't get to play varsity as a freshman and there was no 3 point line. Sure, a few people have gone way overboard with that comparison and tried to sell CC as the greatest scorer of all time, which is stupid. But that doesn't make her any less of a player.

Also, just because one level or type of a sport is somewhat less than (probably a better way to word that but you get it), doesn't mean it's not entertaining or exciting to watch. Any college football team would get waxed by the Panthers by double digits, yet we all still watch college football. I have gotten more into the women's tourney this year than I have in the past and there have been some really good games. At first I figured it would be somewhat of a "Tiger" effect on me (when Tiger was great, I watched every major...now I will maybe catch the last couple holes of one if it's close) in regards to CC but I think I'm gonna tune in next year to watch Watkins and some of the other good players I've seen. I don't care if they can't beat a boy's high school team, they could all whip my ass at basketball and that's as good as they need to be for me to give a watch at least sometimes.

CC melted down the last 5 minutes of that quarter. Gonna be blow out city if she doesn’t pull it together

I must have picked the worst possible time to watch her play for the first time because she looks like Nick Timberlake right now.

Anyone dunked yet?

Reese has definitely outplayed her. NO question.

If they did would you like them??

At least both of the coaches are women. It's so stupid that there are MEN womens basketball coaches. If it's womens basketball, make it womens basketball. Why should some creepball take a job away from a deserving woman coach?

#24 for Iowa is a hottie..

Game has been pretty entertaining so far.

Up tempo and they can actually shoot. Their shots look kind of like a shotput to start out but they go in. Kind of reminds me of some of the golfers like Lexi Thompson who jump at the golf ball for more distance.

I was mildly curious and caught the final few minutes of the first half... seemed pretty entertaining. Some good ball movement... one of my annoyances with men's CBB is everyone thinking they're Steph Curry.

Entertaining enough to catch the 2nd half.

Looked like Reese was getting away with a lot of hacking under the basket. Don't have any frame of reference as to if this is normally how WCBB is reffed or not though.

Good TO by LSU. Not sure what they were doing coming out for the 2nd half.

This reply is pretty clear proof that you are failing as a parent.

Iowa just doesn't have much size. That has a lot to do with it.

Yeah, that too. It looked like i could post em up and I'm 6'2. Probably why they were missing a lot of bunnies.

I was pretty suprised when i finally saw Clark's stat-line and she had like 15-18 points despite her struggles.

LSU racking up the fouls now..

So much for the Steph Curry thing, heh.

I think the general feeling is angel will be an average pro. She cant just outbody everyone in the pros and she eventually needs an outside game. But who knows... They're all young

Hahaha. Definitely. But she’s back to normal now.

O’Grady logging solid minutes

Nice adjustment from Iowa

She is an amazing passer though!

Iowa is worthless if CC isn’t draining shots or passing like Mahomes.

God she’s fun to watch.

I spent time watching the royals on gamecast instead of watching this. Always a mistake to follow the royals game

That should do it. Iowa moving on.

Bye Reese.

Fun to see her take over the 2nd half and make her entire team far better.

Trashy Reese is gone and the world rejoices

I think I love #24 Marshall

Racist

Always good to watch a game where two teams bring their best. Lsu played great. They just weren't as good as Iowa.

Bugger gonna thumbs down you so hard...

Great game. Clark definitely had her shot going tonight. Definitely some very questionable shots as well, but luckily LSU went cold the second half. Reese is an absolute beast in the paint. Her size and athleticism is crazy. Clark vs Bueckers or Juju is going to be really entertaining as well. I think the woman’s tournament might be more entertaining than the men’s this year.

Jemele Hill seething right now

She's hot but she sure likes to run her mouth. Needed humbling.

Hot is a strong word. Maybe attractive is a better one.

People who make hearts with their fingers irritate the shit out of me..

That's a foul in men's college basketball

Yeah it's just so played out at this point

Eat it Reese, LSU, Mulkey, Hill.

GO HAWKS

Sloth face with nice tits is most accurate

I had that bikini pic of hers in mind when I said hot but yeah I agree.

I really didn't think LSU would take the L. Well worth the watch.

Impressive win for Iowa. LSU is a rebounding machine.
Clark played great, albeit that stupid 3 point foul at the end.

I don't care about women's basketball but it was nice to see Caitlin beat that loud twat

Who's the older woman next to Taylor?

What’s my grandma doing with Taylor Swift?

Reese fouled out.

Called it.


Iowa's best game of the tourney

My grandma!

Kill yourself, dick licker. She'd own you in a one on one game. After she destroyed you what would you tell your kids?

Sounds like they have

Chiefs fan Caitlin Clark became a legend tonight.

LSU women's basketball star Angel Reese sent a message prior to tipoff ahead of Monday's Elite Eight matchup with Iowa, leaving a crown on the Tigers' bench at the Hawkeyes' side of the floor. Reese has been nearly unstoppable in the first half despite being somewhat slowed by an ankle situation in the second quarter as LSU leads top-seeded Iowa and Caitlin Clark early inone of the most-anticipated games of all time in the women's NCAA Tournament.



Bitch

Solid troll.

I think it's Katelyn Jenner...

Bitch? Smh at these emotional clowns ROFL

You're a little bitch too

I thought you liked LSU?

Usc UConn as good as advertised. But nothing worse than refs with a quick whistle. Two main defenders vs juju have 4 fouls by the 3rd quarter. Just let them all play.

Suck a dick irrelevant poster :)

Carolina are the best team.

Well, that's a ****ing leap... LMAO

Hard not to like juju. She's incredible and very humble.

Real interesting matchup with UConn. Still think bueckers is every bit as good as Clark and UConn's got a shutdown defender who gets the impossible Clark assignment. uconn doesnt have that much size but neither does Iowa. It's a pretty well matched semi.

If you look at the stats. LSU had more shots, made more shots, won the rebound battle by 18, had more fast break points, more points in the paint etc. But they let Clark get hot early by playing dumb coverages. And whenever they closed the gap and had a chance to take over the game they went cold and let Clark hit threes.

What makes Carolina tough Is they have the height advantage for rebounds, have multiple scorers, can hit threes or live in the paint, their bench is stacked, they're tough defensively and have faced a great three point shooting team already in Indiana who hit 13 threes just like Iowa did today. NC state are another great three point shooting team with two elite guards so it will be another good experience for them if they meet Iowa down the road.

Usc were so naive. Juju never touched the ball for eight fecking minutes in the first half. It was crazy and Uconn were throwing two and three defenders around her and wasn't getting punished until the second half. We'll see what uconn do against Iowa. Edwards and Paige are elite but I think LSU had more talent than them and it wasn't enough.

I have no idea what the LSU coach was doing not doubling/trapping Caitlin Clark on basically every possession of that game. Bizarre stuff.

Clark chucked up 29 shots against LSU.

Clark slain some demons last night.
