Message: [QUOTE="The deacon, post: 4532273, member: 11559"] Interesting thoughts, MSSportsGuy, and there's validity to it all except, please, please, please don't compare Caitlin Clark to Arike... yikes!:rolleyes: Yes, Caitlin took 20 more shots than her teammates last night, but that disparity was not the norm. Note the Hawkeyes are shooting 50 percent from the floor for the season, 52 percent without Caitlin's shots, and Clark is shooting 46 percent. It's not like her shooting is dragging Iowa off a cliff. And a high percentage of shots by her teammates are layups she sets up or wide open threes because she's so closely guarded. Even last night, she shot 43 percent on what was a below-average night for her, likely due to the reality that Indiana plays better defense than most other teams. By the way, Clark is averaging 19 shots per game, not an extraordinary number considering the team's reliance on her. [/QUOTE]
