Iowa coach Lisa Bluder and Caitlin Clark press availability before UConn game

Hard to believe Caitlin's a freshman.
Articulate, poised, mature, confident in the best sense of the word
Almost philosophical.

Will be a great spokesperson for the game over the next 15-years or so.
Gives straight answers; understands her place and responsibility
in the development of the game...and accepts the burden, without seeming pressured.

Hard to root against her

Absolutely.

they still lose to UCONN by 15.

It must be quite a blast to enter a game where there is no real pressure on you. You lose, it is expected but there is just enough realistic belief that you can pull off the upset of the year.

Kids today are a lot different than when you were her age.

You would think in these press availabilities that a coach would have one goal, do not give the other team any "bulletin board" material.
Referring to Paige as "whatever that other Girls name is" ( even kiddingly, which I do not believe was the case) is what the UConn players will be teasing Paige with.
After Saturday, Bluder will know her name.

Caitlin uses the word obviously a lot. Obviously.

She was definitely trying to be funny but it didnt work.

It was funny, she was very obviously making light of the situation. Come on Paige is everywhere. that was the joke! Her and Caitlin gave very respectful interviews IMO

Hard to root against her

Nope, not hard.

It' a game. I'm for the other team - STRONGLY for the other team. I want her to lose and I want her to lose bad.

At least she did not say Coach so and so.

 

[UConnCat]

At least she didn’t refer to Paige as Number 5.
