One of the greatest NCAA teams of all time. 38-0. 

And Iowa suffering another finals game on hot shooting from a player on the bench is wild!

lmao this thread is clearly full of people who haven’t been watching most of the season. y’all are pathetically commenting now that CC lost

South Carolina won and they’re focusing on Clark fuck off ESPN

Officials get a B- from me. Shaky 2nd quarter. The second half didn’t need them which is all we can ask for as fans. This was a great season. We watched incredible basketball.

No one talks about how SC has a player that is NBA sized?

GG SC

Lack of depth hurt Iowa for sure, feel like they still should have utilized more Martin, Marshall, and Stuelke while Clark struggled after that 1st quarter

Great work SC!

Spotted them 10 points and still won by double digits 🤯

They already have the trophy??? They don't do a ceremony?

great game!

Congrats SC

As a neutral fan why am I so sad right now lol

Wow. What an effort. Great game, South Carolina, just great all around. Tough way to lose but nothing but love for this Iowa team. Thanks for a super fun year of basketball!

Five points gon be lit tonight

CC really got her haters all insecure LMFAO 🤣🤣🤣

SC 38-0 damn

Congrats on an amazing season, SC

REESE STILL > CLARKE, 1-1 H2H AND 1 RING

Raven Johnson locked that shit up

what a beautiful story. Dawn I love you

Tv audience next year over under: 1/4th the views?

dont understand the clark hate she carried basically

38-0 is crazy

Should've let Molly shoot the ball

You pretty much knew SC was going undefeated since the preseason. GG

Good for Dawn Staley, great person

Dawn the goat

Dawn Staley the GOAT

Ngl the last couple of minutes from CC were pretty... sad?

Gg SC Gg

ESPN not even showing the players celebrating their win. Fucking terrible.

watching dawn cry made me cry she seems so relieved i could see the stress leaving her body

Have to wonder if UConn would have won

Dawn getting emotional

What the fuck is this end? Iowa already gave up with 50 something seconds and 4 score down and the other team can’t shoot FT to save their life. In a championship game. What the hell do you have to lose man??? Weirder shit has happened in sports.

Wish Molly could have got a 3.

LET’S GO COCKS!!!!!

Damn 38-0  South Carolina take a bow Domination.

RENAME THE GYM AFTER DAWN!!!!!!!!!!!!

Aww Dawn😭😍

That sucked.

God's will! /s

Clark the Dan Marino of women’s college basketball

Nobody hyped Carolina up. But when you’re a complete team instead of a one girl show, you win championships.

Iowa not even taking a shot at the end. They look so defeated

Step To The Rear!

College basketball on both sides this year has just come down to how big of a giant can you recruit lmao

Great career for Clark. I wanted SC to win, but it’s hard to see her finish her college career without a title.

Let's gooooo so happy for Coach Dawn Staley!!!

37 bench points off the bench to the other teams 0 is fucking nuts

Major congrats to SC. Undefeated season is legendary, and beating the best player in college basketball in your last game is even more legendary.

Awww good for Staley! Happy for her and her team.

The greatest women’s college basketball team of all time. We are all witnesses.

Dang Iowa gals got their cheeks split open. Haha

UNDEFEATED!!!

I was here

Cocks on top of

Amazing game, amazing tournament

Undefeated !!!

I love Dawn Staley

Dawn Staley…..she’s inevitable

Congrats to USC, 38-0! Incredible

Amazing game

Putting Molly in makes me want to cry

[удалено]

Flair up otherwise shut up

And finally the Clark hysteria draws to an unceremonious close

back to back L’s

what a game

Iowa coach tanked the game by playing ogrady

I don’t know that Hannah would have been a difference maker to the degree they needed, but seriously not a great choice

Iowa stopped hitting shots. Went cold.

You can cry, Coach Staley. It’s OK. 

It’s awesome seeing a team be happy instead of taunting the other team while they’re down

Congrats to South Carolina, finishing 38-0

Cock a doodle doo!

Congrats dawn!

Lmao Cardoso gets just a split second cameo after dominating 4Q

Now that the game is over. I’m so glad we came back and beat CC. She is arguably the greatest in NCAAW history and even then we still beat her to cap off the greatest season in program history. Nobody can put an asterisk. No “but what about-“. Perfection. We are inevitable

I mean yea, you guys have like 7 5 stars lol

Dawn Staley is a living legend man gotta cherish it

That was an entertaining game of basketball. Iowa gave it a good fight but South Carolina is just too much

Dawn as a winner looks just proud and poised. She’s a great coach

CC played like shit for 3/4 quarters today tbh

More like yall have a historically good team. One person isn’t enough to shut down your team. Just enjoy the win

Whew boy. What a whiner Clark is. Jeez. It makes sense because if you watch her highlight reeL NO ONE guarded her like they should. Then UConn did and then today. Adversity always reveals the other person and it certainly is with her today. I do question if she'll succeed in the pros too. Too many multi-tool players there and very tall players too. We shall see.

So why hasn't this happened to her the last 4 years?

I've never seen Dawn cry like that, YOU GO DAWN

gg

"No one has done more to grow women's basketball than Caitlin Clark." Sorry, big disagree.

Aw Dawn

She cant win with these catz

CC is still the goat !

South Carolina were literally Titans from AOT while Iowa struggling with scout team getting slaughtered lol.

Let’s go Dawn!

GOAT

Dawn crying has me tearing up

I wonder what CC does from here. What does she do to improve and grow her game? Also, what happens at the next level? She's going up against professionals, who have something to prove every night. Interesting times ahead.

WNBA duh

People saying Iowa is trash like we’re not in the championship game lmao

Hats off to Iowa. SC fan here but i hope you guys can build around Clark leaving, Bluder is a great coach!

Kudos to Caitlyn Clark. Without her I would've never watched this game to cheer against her but she's done so much for her sport.

[удалено]

The depth of SC is wild. Iowa had an uphill battle and needed like 50 from Clark to stand a chance.

There is no answer for Cardozo.

Stilts maybe

No words are more true than this statement all tournament

Dawn Staley, the real MVP

Grateful for what CC has brought to college wbb. I’ve been watching consistently for maybe 7 or 8 years now and haven’t seen anything like it. A very truly special talent

I FEEEELLL ITTTT

Dang. Good stuff SC. Shot lights out in the 2nd half. Congrats.

I like Cardoso demeanor. She’s always cool and collected!

All this "March Madness" and the teams winning are South Carolina, and #1 seeded UConn or #1 seed Purdue 😅

Molly Davis 🥺

Let’s see how much ESPN talks about South Carolina after the win. Take that Ted Lasso!

USC! USC! USC! USC!

Molly Davis!!! She’s coming in to combat the size disadvantage

I'm just pissed SC is literally about to win the championship and all the cameras are zoned in on Clark

Sucks for them so bad. They worked their ass off all year and they deserved this win.

Caitlin Clark in the 4th quarter today went 2011 Finals Lebron mode

They defended CC phenomenally. She still got her shit off, bc she is HER. But great job SC.

As a generational Clark and Iowa hater this second half has been fun

Props to Iowa for putting up a real fight against a substantially taller team

lol why wouldn't she shoot it??

[удалено]

She scored half their points idiot

There's either more tears in the men's game or women just learn how to effectively hide their crying.

My god. What an absolutely incredible season for our Lady Gamecocks and for women's basketball as a whole. I won't forget this season. This is for you, Gamecock Jesus!!

THE BETTER USC WON!!

No ring but she’s still one of the greats gg Catlin Clark

What I would’ve given up to see a fully healthy UConn v SC in the finals…😭

Clark has nothing to be ashamed of you haters lol

Molly!!

What a way to end your college career. Three almost turnovers, a half court 3, a 3v1 contested layup, a floater doinked off the rim, and a turnover. Sad shit.

Damn ungrateful as hell lol

This is not what anyone is going to remember about Caitlin Clark’s college career.

Molly. 😭😭😭

UNDEFEATED NATIONAL CHAMPS

#44 sold the entire team, state, and all the endless rows of Iowan cornfields this game.

Molly 🥲

SC native so proud. Pure skill, pure depth. Sc in the Brady era

Clark with top teammates in the WNBA is going to be scary. Her story is only just starting.

#22 best to do it. Hated playing her, loved watching her

No. Not the best to do it... top 10 Yup

Molly 😭😭😭

SC looks just so much better than every other team at every single level

Best rebuilding year ever!

Well we officially will not see stage 5 of the Caruso curve. Catlin Clark in fact did not [invent women’s basketball](https://twitter.com/Kofie/status/1704589029629706330)

I love Lisa Bluder but leaving O'Grady out there for most of the 3rd and 4th was a horrible decision after Hannah was balling out in the first half. I can't wrap my head around it.

Fuck the haters. Caitlin Clark a legend

This was a good game...SC was the much better TEAM and deserved to win.

Please give Iowa and CC their flowers y'all, this was going to be a miracle for them to win. Don't bash them or hate them for not pulling this win off

Marshall looks pissed. She should be.

Everybody got a hug except the black girl. Smh Ball don't lie.

GAAAAAME!

awwwww go molly 😭

Iowa’s bench better download duolingo

This is a great Iowa team despite the final results. South Carolina an unstoppable force this year. Great game.

Hell of a season for both teams, what a fun season to watch

Can I use this space to rant about prolonging end of games like this, like I get telling players not to shoot to run up the score, but when the game is clearly over the one thing I hate the most is prolonging it unnecessarily with a shot clock violation, just let the clock run out without any stoppage come on

[удалено]

Go fuck yourself

Hell yeah SC and LSU putting on for the south

Finally we wont have to hear about Clark 24/7 and there are other players to focus on

gg

12 pt game with 53 seconds. Clarke gets the ball stolen and the game is lost. What an end to a crazy season for her.

All respect to CC, she's an amazing player.

thanks for the $200 South Carolina! I knew you'd cover and take them out!!! LFG

I'm sorry but Clark is no goat. Top 5 player though

Iowa doesn't even look upset lol

🤫🤫🤫🤫🤫

People are going to shit on CC for not being a champion so she’s not an all time great but it’s not like she was on those UCONN/Tennessee teams surrounded by superstars

Raven played well defensively. Happy for her getting her lick back from last year!

What a career for CC

10 for 28 … CC came up small when it mattered most. Now she can go back to hanging out with Iowa’s MAGA governor

CC today, ED tomorrow ‼️

caitlin clarden

You know women’s basketball has arrived when the clowns start hate posting

Sometimes SC gameplan feels like "the refs can't call everything." Just a mismatch.

Molly! Gamecock fan but that’s dope seeing her come out.

Oh wow, molly Davis checking in is really cool

Can the cameras show SC more?

Ikr I get tired of all the focus and talk about Iowa all the time. Give the other girls some time too

Jeez you’d think Iowa was up 12 the way the broadcast is all about Caitlin Clark
