Reese looked ridiculous. Too bad they don't have an enforcement mechanism for the trashy players like they do in hockey.

Most of the LSU players including Reecie Reece did not shake hands. That's like Middle School during the summer ... NO CLASS.

OMG, so cute and fiery!

There was a handshake line and the LSU coach was very complimentary to Caitlin Clark. Seemed pretty civil.

But all the players didn't participate?

Listen granny, college kids don't use Twitter. It's all about TikTok, Snapchat, and Insta.

If that's what you think, then you definitely don't watch college basketball or know anything about the kids who play.

She could have been a media darling too if she had taken the high road. And yes, I know Clark trash talks and that wasn't covered.

Angel has like tripled her social media following since last night lol. She has a lot of prominent people supporting her as well.

Aaliyah Boston takes the high road, and she's not exactly popping like that or a media darling.

A social media following is not the same as being a media darling. That's great she tripled her following, but are you saying that is because of the hand gestures not her playing? Had South Carolina made it to the finals and won, Boston would have gotten the coverage instead.

That's the point. Media darlings get a boost from the traditional media and it translates into opportunities. That kind of sustained attention rarely, if ever, comes to female ballers like Angel Reese. She created it with her trash talk.

Yes, her follow count absolutely tripled because of her antics and not because of her play. Aaliyah Boston won it all last year and has been a staple of WCBB for 4 years now and has 142K followers on Insta. Angel probably got triple that amount last night alone. Nobody is talking about how she broke the double double record today lol.

Aaliyah Boston won it all last year and her team was undefeated going into the tournament, yet Clark overshadowed the whole tournament.

Players notice.

Because the same types of critiques and disrespect have been levied against all of the SEC girls and they all notice it. "Thugs" "ghetto" "bar fight" etc.

Like she said, she was making a point bigger than her. Players from a bunch of SEC schools have already spoken up on support of her, including South Carolina and Tennessee.

They should. This is two years in a row that the media has zeroed in on the cute white girl while ignoring the better team filled with black women. Even now Paige Bueckers makes more from NIL than the entire SC team that beat UConn combined.

Clark is the best woman college player by every metric. Sorry this blows the narrative. Would you have the media just ignore her accomplishments because she isn’t the right color? And BTW, the media has been celebrating black women basketball players for decades to the extent that they celebrate women athletes at all, so I don’t know what you are talking about.

She's the best by scoring, that's the only metric. Volume scorers don't win in the mens game, they don't win in the NBA and the don't win in the womens game when the come up against a more complete team. And by the way, the media always celebrates the white player when they have the opportunity.

What rock do you live under? The media has celebrated black basketball players every day for 40 years! Are they not allowed at all to talk about a white player for a change?

Look at the current MVP race. Look at how desperate the media is for Luka to actually win. They celebrate the black players when they don't have a choice, but they are desperate to find the great white player

Maybe he deserves to win, and deserves all of the media accolades that go with it. Are you saying he shouldn’t get any of that because he is white? He is one of the best players in the NBA. Sorry he isn’t the right skin color for you.

He doesn't. Not even close. His team might not even make the play in this year.

They were desperate to put him on a GOAT trajectory before he had done the work.

Always shake hands after a game.
