Not really. The illegal screen provided a clear advantage to UConn. A lane violation probably wouldn't have the same impact, but if it did, then it should be called, no matter the timing.nobody is really questioning if it’s a foul — they’re questioning the timing of the call
it’d be like calling a lane violation late in the game
It is one thing for players to have success at UConn. They are the gold standard of women's basketball. They have been at the highest level for a long long time. But what Clark has done at Iowa has taken them to that level. She has benefitted from the timing. There is more attention being paid to women's basketball now than there was when UConn was beginning its rise to prominence.Yeah, jealous.
Taurasi averaged 15 ppg and 4.5 apg over her career. Clark has averaged 28 and 8 over her career on worse teams against better players. So yeah, it's the old guard being upset that newer players are better and more famous than them.
Feels weird and contrarian to not like/respect Clark. Clark haters on social media are like a combination of alt-right losers who think women shouldn't play sports and jealous mega liberal lesbians. Weird to say you like Juju better so therefore you are a "hater" of Clark. Not a binary choice.

I probably shouldn’t even ask this, but how is Angel Reese an “asshole?”I like Caitlyn Clark bc she is fun to watch (although I hope she goes 0-100 tomorrow). I don't like Angel Reese because she is an asshole. I love the Gamecocks and Dawn Staley because a)they are the hometown team for me and b) they do everything the right way - no egos, no divas, sacrifice for the betterment of the team and I just totally respect Dawn Staley in how she conducts her business- honestly feel like she is one of the best coaches in any sport.
As for Clark, I'm struggling to think of another hoops player who reminds me more of Pete Maravich than her. She's every bit the showman he was. And I like Iowa's coach, who puts up with her. If Clark played for UConn, Geno would bench her every time she shot from the logo. (And Geno, stop whining and show your players how to set legal screens.) And I completely agree about Staley and am rooting for USC today because of her. In addition to what you said, I also really appreciate how she has handled the skirmishes with Geno and Mulkey over the last couple years. She is so much classier than those 2 asshats.I like Caitlyn Clark bc she is fun to watch (although I hope she goes 0-100 tomorrow). I don't like Angel Reese because she is an asshole.

SC has it firmly in hand now. Can we talk about how much better this game is time wise than 9:20 on a Monday night.
