She sure shined a giant spotlight on women's college basketball.

Great job.

Clark sees the whole floor much better, just crazy sick assist on a consistent basis.

The great thing is if things fall in place we might get to see..

Clark vs Angel Reese

And

Juju vs Paige

In the next round!!..that would be epic but they all have some tough matchups coming up tbh.

Without a doubt. She’s going to be outstanding no matter what but part of me also wonders if she has to be a volume player no matter what. Even a great facilitator like lebron takes up so much space that it can sometimes be hard to play off of him. She’s already a bonafide superstar but are there limits to how much she can elevate the team around her? Will be interesting to see on the next level when she can play for a team that recruits on a more level playing field

Granted I don’t follow a ton of women’s bball, but I get the sense Reese is a notch below. I think she’s surrounded by a lot of talent and that’s what makes it a tough out. But those other 3 seem like they’re on a different level as far as individual play goes. But yeah I think any of these 3 against the team of lsu and South Carolina is going to be super interesting

Reese is a different type of player than the other three. She's a forward and the others are guards. Reese is a great defender, rebounder and does a lot of damage scoring in the paint. That's why she's a double-double machine. So she's great at things the other three don't really focus on.

Reese is like Giannis and the other three are more Doncic.

Oh and Clark vs Reese has history to it too for obvious reasons after what happened in last year's final.

Clark had 17 double doubles and 7 triple doubles. Reese had 25 double doubles. I'd take the player that is extremely better at scoring and getting assists over the player that isn't even close to the other in scoring and assists, but can rebound quite a bit better.

Clark averaged 31.8 pts, 7.3 rebounds, and 8.8 assists per game. She doesn't pretty well for herself getting boards.

Reese is a million times the better defender.

I have said before that I think Paige Bueckers is the best all around female player I have ever seen.

Before the injuries she was incredible. She could really shoot, and score almost at will, she was a great distributor of the ball, and was a slick passer, and defensively she was great at on the ball defense, she was great at anticipating passing lanes and collecting steals, and was a very good rebounder for her size and position.

I think she can get back to being the best, but when I watch her now, I will admit that I am cringing the entire time, because I just am so afraid of another injury. It's like watching Jamaal Charles after he came back the second time; I held my breath every time he planted to make a cut, or to stop quickly, etc. because I was constantly waiting for, and expecting the next injury.

There’s just one thing that separates the two.

One is a trash talking bitch, on a violent team, with a C of a coach who is an attention whore.

The other is Clark

Reese is like Giannis except without the freakish athleticism or size. She’s good on defense and rebounding but otherwise effective enough. She’s an effective player but nowhere in the same stratosphere. The only reason there’s appeal is because she has lots of clout and because the team as a whole vs the individual clark makes for an intriguing matchup.

Lol you still triggered by Angel?

Clark started the trash talking in previous games so please stop acting like that epic moment from Angel just came out of nowhere

And Angel ain't no punk who picks on smaller players either as she's got beef with Carolina's giant center Kamilla Cardoso too.
