Woodard forgot to mention that she played against smaller schools when she was in college.
Caitlin may have a 3 point line but she didn’t play Wayne State, Delta State, Central Missouri, Northwest Missouri State, Grand View, Northwest Oklahoma State and Wayland Baptist for regular season games like you did. she would’ve broken your record a lot quicker if she did https://t.co/0g0SDB8p7w

Clark and her Iowa teammates sold out every home game and sold out or set attendance records at nearly every major venue they played at all season.
Clark and Iowa broke audience records on ESPN on Monday and then broke that record on Friday in the semi-final.

Caitlin Clark single-handedly remade women’s basketball from unwatchable to must-see television.
But this did not go over so well in several circles.
WNBA elites trashed Clark. Former players diminished her accomplishments for some reason. Even many announcers minimized Clark’s popularity.

The women would rather destroy Caitlin Clark than admit to her greatness.
Jason Whitlock may have offered Caitlin the most logical advice telling Caitlin to stay at Iowa for another year, make millions, and then bypass the WNBA and retire.
Caitlin Clark should return to Iowa next season, make about $20 million in NIL, retire from basketball, marry her boyfriend, and avoid the nastiness that awaits her in the WNBA. I’m not joking.
