This is the only talk to show so far, that had spent significant time talking about the WINNERS.
Do you also get triggered when teams beat the Ravens and allTV heads talk about is Lamar Jackson? All you people...YES....you people...do is whine and cry. All day long. About nonsensical, trivial things. But you never channel that energy and passion into bettering your culture. Do better. Life is much more than just basketball and rap music...and crime.

I’m happy South Carolina won. Everyone from that team dominated and Raven did her thing by Guarding Caitlin 😤
By limiting assists. That was always the way. You're not stopping Clark, you just need to limit her ability to give the 3 star athlete teammates a chance.
"Did her thing"? Caitlin dropped 30 points?

Thank you. Bench outscored Iowa 37-0.
cardoso bullied them lol

South Carolina was the bigger,better,faster team. A one woman show isn't winning titles
Say it again 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽...it's always a team !!!
@@staywell7217 exactly it's always a team
SC actually plays a slower game than Iowa. They tire their team out by grinding and then in the second half, there's usually no chance for the other team because they're already tired. Dawn Staley reflected on having to slow the game down in the championship.
@@TheRebellefleur27 saw them moving fast in transition
It's possible not with her she play one side of ball want get done she to slow as well she got lock up
South Carolina got their lick backkkkkkk!! ESPECIALLY Ravennnnnn!! Congrats Gamecocks!
GO Raven!!!
She proved a lot that game. 1-15
Reap what u sow
@@Sh5dy3000 Her role wasn't to score. Her role was to do exactly what she did and that was to lock Caitlin down. She is the Dramond, PJ and Pat Bev of her team. None of those players are expected to score on their teams. Go cry somewhere else. 😂😂
Revenge Tour Complete!
It’s very simple. South Carolina was the better team, the deeper team, younger team, the better coached team. It’s no surprise they went 38-0 with the amount of effort and efficiency that the staff and the players pour day in and day out. Congrats to both teams for a great season! This Woman’s March Madness really set the bar going forward. (Edit: 38-0 not 36-0. Point still stands)
38-0*
no one expected them to win this year. they lost all of their starters from part year. struggled against Tennessee in the sec tournament. them winning and the reasons why is like hindsight
Saying you get tea in college is crazy 😂
I don't think younger makes any difference since everyone is still in college. If anything, older would be better because of experience
How you figure. No one watches still
S.c deserved to be every sports headline!! Undefeated and won the natty
They need to have those two ladies covering all the women’s basketball games. They are electric and super engaging. Give them a permanent spot. As someone who isn’t a former player, they are informative and provide great insight
They don't want two cause Noone watches
Fulwiley needs some credit too!! Her energy lifted them up and attacking the pain like she did helped their offense open up!
Just goes to show one player truly can’t change the totality of the game it’s 5v5 at the end of the day
It's a TEAM sport
She missed so many 3’s what are u talking about
She was the GOAT before the game now it’s a team sport
Not necessarily. 1 player can beat a team - IF YOU LET HER/HIM. they did an excellent job containing CC in that 2nd half, but if they hadn't been able/willing to do that this thing could have gone the other way. Think of how many teams that were objectively better teams than Iowa lost to them because they failed to contain CC.
Jordan trying to find your address as we speak lol
Can not forget the bench players for SC out scored Iowa 36-0. Shannon you are right, SC throws so many talented, athletic body's at you that they just wear you down. Their bench goes 10 deep. The 5 sitting on the bench is basically another starting 5 for any other college.
Our bench players put up 37-0 against Iowa. The depth of my Gamecock team was the identity all season long. Also, we typically have even distribution of scoring. Folks forget we smoked Uconn without Cardoso in February. Won by 18. Won about 3 other games without her. Shooting from the perimeter was the difference between this year's team and last year's team. If we had the slightest in outside shooting last year...Lord telling what the headlines would've been with back to back undefeated seasons and back to back chips. Great win by Staley's Women's Gamecock team. #RevengeTour completed. #RepeatTour loading up! 🤙🏾🐔🏆🏆🏆
Bench scoring 37-0 is the actual reason for the Gamecock victory
The same problem Iowa ran into last year against LSU in the Championship Game.
@@Stanlayy-em4fk The SEC in championship games!
The South Carolina Gamecocks is one of the most complete teams I've ever witnessed.
Same here. Pure domination 😊
Right. Up there with my UConn Huskies
True and you know what else is? Caitlin Clark is the best collegiate basketball player in history. This is a proof that basketball is a team sport and it takes more than one great player to win a championship.
@@kimocoloma4123 You must have just started watching. She is nowhere near it. She is not even better than Paige, so stop that nonsense.
@@kimocoloma4123 Caitlin Clark doesn't interest me at all.
I love when a team wins. SC had a great year and were a team all year long. The value of what they do is that they, all of them, do it. Congrats USC
One team always wins
@@jobuckley2999😂
South Carolina players have said that Cardoso didn’t know English well when she joined the team, and her teammates stuck by her side and helped her learn the language. Shows a special bond between the teammates
I watch Raven's steal from CC over and over. Is CC talking to her or low key dismissing her again and refusing to even look at her? Either way it worked in Raven's favor and I love it.😂😂
I sadly didn't get to see the game and seeing that all get stolen like that more than once had me question why everyone was talking her up so much. Is she an all around good player or does everyone says she's good because she's a good shooter?
@@theTrend7they say she’s good because they don’t know anything about basketball.
South Carolina was NOT losing this game, long live the Queen DAWN STALEY
Raven Johnson played the defense of her life against CC!
Bro women are fr getting segments in first take …. This is an amazing time in sports truly beautiful to see and it’s only the beginning
Hopefully they give dawn staley her flowers
AGREE. Hopefully, a big, fat bouquet to cover that ugly, racist mug.
MiLaysia Fulwiley is gonna be a problem for the next 2-3 years. She brought that spark when she first entered the game, and that catapulted SC to the championship. Just my opinion.
She's super quick and brings that speed element into the game when she plays. Hope she starts next year.
@@philb.1502 Gonna be interesting next year with Raven coming back as well. Will Fulwiley play shooting guard? What about Tessa? I guess having all that talent is a nice problem to have, but I hope they all can coexist regardless of who starts. I’m pretty sure they will for the sake of the team.
@justmyopinion6842 They also have the #1 rated high school player Joyce Edwards coming in next year!!The team is so loaded!
@@philb.1502 So much talent….. Ridiculous!!! I’m predicting that SC will be in the championship hunt again. Lol.

Yes when she comes on the levels go up. And teams are scared of her
She’s going to be a problem for years to come
that's the scary part, when she comes in SC switches to a run and gun offense all of a sudden and defensively its like wth just happened they were just running half court sets lol
She firrree but she gotta get under control
My fav player!!! ❤❤❤❤
when those 2 freshmen came in they kept changing the tempo and style of play which imo kept throwing Iowa off defensively also

Because they knew that you Have to put someone who can match Caitlin Clark's physicality in order to shut down Iowa. Because at this point, not saying that Iowa couldn't shoot. But when most of your points, most of the time is scored by one player? Once you take that player out, that's it

Yes, BUt it was REALLY the SC BENCH that won and outscored the IOWA Bench 37-0....IT was a FULL TEAM EFFORT
Emphasis on TEAM.
I guess all that shooting from the logo didn't help her win a championship, lets keep it real, because if Iowa would've won omg the media would've been going crazy talking about Iowa, but SC did there thing congratulations SC..
they wouldve had a chance had goliath not blocked so many of her teammates' shots over and over again, and grabbed what appeared to be every single rebound in the game. i mean she looks like she outweighs all of them by at least 80 pounds. that's how many weight classes? but goliath was very good. equivalent to a female brian scalabrine.

But they were more talented as well.
C.clark got shutdown by a true freshman Johnson in the final game
Exactly
How could Raven be a freshman if she played last year?
Raven's defense clinic on display! I love see that passionate energy to win, she was NOT about to be played again, her impact in this game, won the game for SC
Raven Johnson is the "GOAT."
#1) Better team , better players, better coach. Where's all the congratulatory praise for SC. Don't see it but CC had all the coverage more than any collaborators of WIN OF NCAA CHAMPIONSHIP!!!
Well how else can you highlight that she is not the GOAT if you don't show and discuss her real-time? You're being nonsensical. She is a great shooter if she is not playing against a good opponent.
Kamilla did history and she joins A'ja Wilson and Aliyah Boston as one of SC's GOATs
One of the biggest reason they won was 3 things: Raven defense on Clark only allowing her 7 pts when she was the primary defense, bench players out played Iowa starting 5 lol, and the defensive boards/ SC shot the 3 really well! This was a personal revenge game for SC and they bounce back with the best win which won they the national championship! Congratulations on an amazing undefeated season SC 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Bree Hall tried but was no match for Caitlyn, Raven on the other hand was ready for the assignment. So I agree, Raven was a very big contributor to this win. Being slighted and humiliated was the fuel that burned in her for the entire off-season.
Also Mytasia Fulwiley added a change of pace and energy turning around after being down 0-10 early. She's another fearless freshman we need to keep an eye on.
This makes me so happy....I'm so happy for SC. Keep on thriving ladies
South Carolina had the size advantage with Cardozo being so dominant inside and they're NINE deep. They play nine players and they're all good! Iowa wore down. South Carolina bashed them on the boards. Outrebounded them 51-29 and 18-6 on the offensive glass. A mismatch. South Carolina was clearly the better team!
39-0!!! That is a much bigger story than anything else on NCAA women's basketball!! Just my humble opinion. And to add one last point: Dawn Staley has literally help create a dynasty right now! So please everybody, enjoy this dynasty; because dynasties don't last forever!!
Great job by Raven to lock up clark and end her career with a loss, great job Raven.
So, now we know what she is going to go through in the WNBA.
This game was lost when Czinano wasn't replaced via the portal. No stud big, no chance. If they played 10x maybe Iowa wins once. SC was 9 deep, way more athletic, and had a great rim protector.
1/10 is generous, iowa playing only 6 yesterday says a lot
@@elai3147 no confidence in her team smh
True. Was CC against SC. 1 playing against 8 really.
They messed up making it Caitlin Clark and Iowa
I respect Caitlin so much. She couldve went to any powerhouse in the country but decided to represent her home state. Sadly Iowa doesnt have top recruits like some other schools do. If she went to Uconn or SC she definitely wouldve had a couple championships under her belt. Much respect to Caitlin and what she has done for the game
Congratulations SC! You ladies proved all season you were the best team from beginning to end. The media ranked you all as the #6 best to begin the season and you all earned the #1 spot by the end of the season.
Raven 👀
Congratulations Dawn, My home girl from 25th & 💎st. North Philly is in the building... 👍🏾 💯💯💯🏀🏀🏀
CONGRADULATIONS : SOUTH CAROLINA🏀!
Clark is talented but South Carolina fought as team and won as a team. Kudos ladies✌🏾
South Carolina is a very good team. Even though they are losing Cardoso, they have everyone back next year, top 5 recruiting class, the number 2 player in the country coming in and a couple of mcdonalds all American as well. South Carolina will do it again. I'm an alumni of the university. "For ever to thee ". Go Carolina
South Carolina is a GREAT team!
This is why I dont feel kim Mulkey is not a good coach. The player they put on CC blew my mind. And she never made any adjustments
Kim knows how to win. Maybe she wanted to fix that game 🤔
Or did people want her to win in hopes of growing the popularity of the women’s basketball? Defense wins games but offense draws crowds.
@@Cocoflower528bruh, thank you. Johnson should’ve guarded Clark. You need athletic guards like Johnson to stick Clark. HLV was struggling the whole game
@@Cocoflower528bruh, thank you. Johnson should’ve guarded Clark. You need athletic guards like Johnson to stick Clark. HLV was struggling the whole game
Yes it was the fact that she never made adjustments. It just made no sense
PaoPao's my favorite! POW-POW-POW
Watch out for Malaysia fulwiley next year.... she gonna be player of the year next year i said it first
I agree with you wholeheartedly; I was upset Dawn didn't leave her in the game longer, in fact, I thought Malaysia was going to draw the defensive assignment on C.C.!!
I've been watching Malaysia's long distance shooting. Also impressive.
Gotta love Kamala, so humble! Congratulations SC you were definitely the better team and you have a phenomenal Coach
Watkins also had plenty of rebounds. Fullwiley and Johnson the freshman were great
Tessa Johnson gets my vote as well
During March madness the media was all Clark against REESE, UCONN with Buckers but never compare against South Carolina Well Caitlin "NEVER TAUNT A SISTA 🎉"
Freshman Tessa Johnson’s 19 points from off the bench should not be overlooked.
10-28 shooting by the GOAT Clark is why Iowa lost. Last i heard Basketball is Team Sport. You'll never win a Big Game with a player shooting that many times and missing majority of wild shots.
Iowa lost this game mainly because Iowa's defense wasn't switching during screens and their coach ran the weakest zone defense I ever saw.
Lol lil bruh that's a good shooting night for kobe and some nxggas call kobe the goat 😂😂
Lmao she gets to be like farve the gunslinger fired nothing but BLANKS IN THE FINALS 😅😅😅😅
@@downtoearthproductionsthey lost because sc had the better team. CC has been exposed many times this year. She can’t convert against good defense unless she pushes off or uses her team to set double screens.
Told people don't understand eye test 28 shot get 30 people need stop u look at how SC play shows what coach they have one on want work
I love it....Make it all about SC they were the winning team don't take the focus off them....
Caitlyn Clark 0-2 in the NCAA Championship round!?!? Wow
@JaySwavo - But she the GOAT. LOL!!!!
@@Tadpoleriver Tell me another sport where a player without a championship is considered the goat.
@@focuz4899 - Exactly!!!!! So why does she get the GOAT status because of her individual accolades. IOWA made it to the big dance twice and couldn’t get the job done. SC’s bench scored (37) points, TEAM work. “I”OWA’S bench put up zero points.
@@Tadpoleriver the WNBA Can change her legacy depending on how well She does there
South Carolina had a team full of great players. They were powerful!
The score would've been a lot worst if south carolina didn't spot them 10 points in the beginning
That post game press conference from Iowa, at least CC fully admitted how tough they are. The coach gave every other excuse in the game.
So happy for the sc ladies. Raven did her thing.
The free throw attempt discrepancy in the first half is the reason the game was close at half time. Refs influenced the game as much as they could to keep the viewers tuned in and to not allow SC to blow Iowa away.
Awww... SC plays tough, but rough, defense. Quit whining. Guess you thought the foul on UConn was wrong?
excuses😂😂😂😂
You're absolutely right. That's the only reason the game was close. SC by 25 if the refs wasn't helping Iowa.
You fan girls are sad. Guess you d
@@russty5692 the proof is in the statistics 📈. Iowa shot more free throws than their opponents all tournament long. An unbiased eye can see the manipulation of officiating.
She has no defense, she has no inside game, she's avg at rebounding. She's good at shooting long distance and hoping it falls. If I throw up 20 threes, and half of them fall, that's 30 points a game right there. It's called being a COMPLETE player, which she's not. When the long jumper isn't falling, she has NOTHING else to fall on. You can't be the greatest at anything being a ONE trick pony.
THIS!!!
Yep. She's manufactured.
Nah she got there back to back. She’s certified. No she can’t do everything. That’s what she has teammates for. But your attempt to downgrade her is poor. I was going for SC, but you disrespect every aspect of everything ever by acting like she’s not the ish. SC is the better team, but you sound like a hater. The world knows Caitlin is cold and the best player in women’s basketball.
first you need to hit half of those, or 40%, or even 30%. and have the confidence to shoot it. and you will need somebody to allow you to shoot it without being told off or kicked off the team. next she shoots only 22.7 shots a game, and only 13.6 of those are from 3. maybe fact check first? and, she averaged 8.9 assists and 7.4 rbs. for her 139g career, she averaged 20.1FGs, and 10.3 3FGs with 7.1rbs, 8.2asts, 1.5stls and 0.5blks. to say she only shoots and can do nothing else shows bias or blindness. sorry, but you can argue all you want but fact check it first.
Nah her playmaking is pretty good, but yea she offers nothing else, glass cannon.
Congratulations to SC !
Congratulations South Carolina.

Just an incredible tourney. It was South Carolinas to lose. Dawn Staley has done a masterful job, what a deep team. Caitlin absolutely showed up and will go down as one of the GOATs, certainly one of the best players in a generation. There were sooooo many good freshmen this year which is scary.

Yep, her fans are easily swayed to boast about what a good role model she is, but this aspect of her really offsets a lot of the good things she does.

Wow some covered the winning team, Amazing.
Well said Shannon
Great segment
Now that was proper coverage of the game. Other networks was trash
Game went very similar to last years game. Bigger team over powered and one two players just couldn’t miss. Great game tho.
Iowa's defense was nowhere close to south carolina, felt like CC was entering a north korean military base as a foreigner every time she went inside the D and south Carolina basically just strolled in and shot whenever they wanted. Not to mention that SC have a literal Amazonian giant on there team, that definitely helps a little
SC was unstoppable next season will be awesome. Can't wait
Love Draya and Chiney matching iconic shirts. I LOVE their chemistry. They are so knowledgeable (duh) and care deeply the game and the players. What a dream!
