She didn’t seem quite the same after the ankle injury. Once she fouled out LSU was done, though probably done even before that

Elite shooter, ball handler and passer. Once she gets a teardrop shot in the lane down she’ll be a threat to score 50.

While she obviously us a great shooter, Tim Legler says she's a great SCORER because she's an elite passer!
She sees the court so well & can pass with both hands, that there is no way to cheat defensively on her.
Overplay one side, bring the double team too soon and she'll be feeding teammates for layups all night.
He said because of that, she is always in a place where she can create her own open shot.
He said she's the best passer he's ever seen in women's basketball at any level.
I buy his analysis. The defense doesn't just fear her shooting. They have to fear her teammates because if they're open, Clark will find them.

Long read but I heard some pretty glowing appreciation for the author by two old WaPo reporters.

Monday night's rematch between the Iowa Hawkeyes and LSU Tiger was the most-watched women's college basketball game in history.

According to an announcement from ESPN, more than 12 million people tuned in to watch Caitlin Clark and the Hawkeyes avenge their national title loss to Angel Reese and the Tigers. Clark dropped 41 points en route to a 94-87 victory that became the most-watch gamed in women's basketball history.

I’d have never taken shots from there or I’d know I wouldn’t get the ball back. Good for her.
