We've finally found someone who can stop Caitlin Clark

The refs.

What a joke.

She’s been incredible this afternoon and the refs have had blown call after blown call.

that LSU doesn’t have the refs in their hip pocket. Also. Kimmie’s getup is vomit-inducing.

Obviously, she knows how to coach and win, doesn’t make her likable person.

She’s talking about the kind of player she was in college. Yeah, I remember that. Couldn’t stand her then either. (I was trying to figure out why I didn’t like Haley Van Lith and then I saw some old film of Kim and it clicked.)

The VERY FIRST person she talked to after the game was Caitlin Clark. Kim was certainly emotional but she didn't make it about her. She did say how incredible it was to win a championship for Louisiana but she turned that focus to the team and to the fans quickly.

Taunting Caitlin Clark. They did not shake hands with the Iowa players after the game.

What’s the context? No SC player is in that shot.

When Caitlin did it it was "swagger". It's legit her "signature" to the point John Cena commented on it since he was the first to do it widely.

Taunting? Sure, they were making ring fingers, etc. Angel was saying "You can't see me" to Caitlin at the end but both had been jawing at each other the entire game. But both teams lined up and shook hands the same way that they do after every game. It wasn't as drawn out because of the celebrations, and they were showing Kim and the crowd for most of it but they most certainly did shake hands.

It was an emotional and very physical game on both sides. You think Iowa wouldn't have reacted the same way? They did when they beat South Carolina!

All they showed was the LSU coach talking to Caitlin. None of her players were behind her in line.

Bayou Barbie, aka, Bayou B!tch, was too busy making hand gestures. Spoiled winner. Sucks to be her. No respect. Not a role model….

She calls herself "Bayou Barbie." I say her behavior makes that "Bayou B!itch."

But the refs were actively helping lsu

The result will be less people investing time watching women’s sports 🏀

Lsu’s coach was constantly on the floor, even running into refs but no call

So, I knew I had to watch. She made some impressive shots, but was disappointed in the refs taking over.
