Actually she largely ducks discussing a potential matchup against UConn and her pal Paige. You want to dislike her for having the audacity to challenge Paige
for FPOY and maybe even NPOY--but she seems likeable and well-spoken in her interviews (and demonstrated great judgement in decommitting from Notre Dame at the last minute :))

Coach Lisa Bluder @ 5:49-6:15
Caitlin @ 15:40-16:15

She is indeed likeable and well-spoken - - - and VERY good !! I’ve seen them play 6/7 times and they seem to be a little better each time. They have a multitude of 3-pt. shooters and a solid inside game. If we do play them, it will be interesting, but I think we have a better overall team and depth, and can play any kind of game Iowa wants.

Just tried looking it up, it doesn’t look like she ever committed to ND. They were in her top 3 but I couldn’t find anything on a commitment or otherwise

Very well spoken, respectful kid. Had very mature answers for a freshman, hard to hate the enemy when she’s so likable

We might get a little more spice around this matchup since the 4 Naismith Finalists will be announced March 19 and if Paige is on the list (which seems a no brainer) but Caitlin is not, that might stir the pot.

After the Massacre at the Big Ten Corral by Maryland, you have to wonder how Iowa fancies itself ready to go. If basketball were a stand-alone activity, the "rivalry" between Slim and Clark might make sense. As bb is a team sport, what one player does rarely determines a game's outcome. We're way too fixated on individual awards; eyes on the real prize, the NC. Betcha the players would say the same.

yikes--thanks for changing the subject line. It seemed funny when I posted it late last night, decidedly less so this morning. Your criticism is duly noted.

Have a look at NDNation, McGraw's Bench--scroll back a couple of pages for a discussion of her supposed commitment to ND.

Not so much for us, but the UConn haters will call bias if Paige wins the FOY because she plays for UConn. Whether we like it or not, people will be comparing them. I just hope the game doesn't come about.

Paige has always had the upper-hand in this heated rivalry, which goes back years.

I don't buy into all the hype. These young ladies are friends and Paige was hyped for Caitlin on Twitter and Insta when she committed to Iowa. Everything else is just created by the media and fans...

Agree, but then all things Bueckers are hyped here to say the least. The young lady seems way more grounded than many posters here.

'... what one player does rarely determines a game's outcome.'
wait, whaaaaat? march madness, indeed.
 
UCONN may play against three of the other four Nancy Lieberman finalists in their region: Mangakahia, Clark, and Richards.

First and foremost, it is premature thinking we will get the desired matchup between our Husky's and Iowa. Seems there is a pretty good Kentucky team that very well have something else in mind, a team that has enough talent to give pause to any potential opponent. If we do have the game it is doubtful that Paige and Clark will be guarding each other. It stands to reason that CW would get that assignment I have no idea who would guard Paige. I think that we would enjoy seeing the game if it happens.
It would also be fun to watch the matchups of the 5's, would enjoy seeing AE mussel up Monica as well as Liv giving her a few Wilson burgers. It's a ways off if it happens we have a few games first and getting Gino back on the sidelines. Exciting times are here, now it's one game at a time, enjoy the tourney!
