DUCKED

Clark’s apology was weak and insincere. Came off badly. He’s had anger issues in the past. He needs to work on it. His final round yesterday was amazing. He is immensely talented, and learning to keep his composure will help him going forward.

No way to spin it other than a miss. We whiffed on a long time Ducks fan. Not good.

But Clark played 7 fewer minutes, had 8 rebounds to Sabrina’s 2, and had a 9-4 advantage in assists. And, yes, Clark had more turnovers, too. Just stats. Both of these women are phenomenal basketball players and it’s a joy to watch them play.

YIKES!

I don’t see it as a flaw. The rule is the rule. Now there is clarity on how it MAY be enforced. Even though Kai has been doing this all season, I’m sure she’ll alter her technique in OKC.

It doesn’t appear, based on their previous stats, that either this guy or his brother are players to get overly excited about.

Yes, frustrating, but the calls were correct.

I love YouTube TV…….my favorite feature is Key Plays. Easy to catch up on several games on a busy weekend and watch the end at crunch time.

I have to give the offensive edge to Clark. While Sabrina could go toe to toe with Clark in a straight up 3 point shooting contest, nobody in the league can create their own shot from behind the arc like Clark….nobody is even close, except Steph Curry, and he doesn’t count. And Clark is a better finisher at the rim, too.

Sabrina may very well be the GOAT, but the most transformative player is Caitlyn Clark. The popularity for WNBA basketball is soaring because of her and the attention she has brought to the league.

Jordan Bell shut down the paint in that game. A truly dominant performance.

No……coach K isn’t around, and neither is Dillon Brooks.

Of course not…. But beating Duke, without Flagg playing, just would not be the same. It would still be a good win, of course, but nowhere near the shocking upset if Flagg had been on the floor. But looking ahead is dangerous…..especially in March Madness. Every year there are shocking first round upsets, and the Ducks need to be ready to play against Liberty …….and avoid looking ahead to a likely matchup with Duke.

Those 2 guys were about as different as players as you’ll ever find. Bittle has a nice outside shot and a soft touch around the rim. Defense is just average. Dante was a menace on defense, a real intimidator, an excellent rebounder and could run the floor and finish with flair. But he was never an offensive threat unless he was within 10 feet of the basket. Both nice players….just different.

I’d opt for Blair Rasmussen, All-Pac three times, 10 year NBA career, excellent outside shooter…..
