Imagine, as a defender, feeling that OH SHIT, CONTEST!!! panic when the person you’re guarding is 40 feet from the fucking basket. Man or woman, that would be a nightmarish assignment.

Michigan was trying to get the ball out of her hands, but half of the missed shots or turnovers turned into complete chaos. It is really fun to watch.

Her ball handling is nearly as incredible. She can get herself free from 2 defenders with no screens.

Also, she will have quite the decision to make down the road about if she takes the Covid year. If she does, wouldn't be surprised if she has such an NIL machine rolling that she isn't making $1m per year. She would also own every Big Ten and NCAA record there is.
I'm wonding if the Russian unrest (to put it lightly) will affect some of the top college WBB players decisions? Generally, the Russian women's pro league has been the highest paying in the world. Many of the American stars have historically played in the WNBA and then when that season is over, go to Russia to play and actually make money. I know the WNBA/NBA has been trying to raise pay to address that, but not sure where that is at. If that avenue of professional income is closed, maybe the top echelon of players like Clark will stay in college longer pulling in NIL money?

I think there's zero worry that she'll leave early. Women's college basketball players don't have the same motivations to jump to the pro level like the men typically do. She loves being a Hawkeye and has said that she wants to help take her home state program to the Final Four. She's not going anywhere.

Clear that calendar, @BBK, game tonight (BTN), should be tomorrow night (BTN), and hopefully Sunday afternoon (ESPN 2), shortly before the Men's beatdown of Illinois (FS1).

The halftime show was a talk about financial freedom. That will get people fired up.

All of the starters are back, should be a really fun year next year. I didn't attend any games this year, but will try picking up something next year on the weekend.
