Caitlin Clark usually dominates games, but basketball Hall of Famer Paul Pierce admitted he 'didn't expect' her performance against LSU.
Caitlin Clark was, once again, the best player on the court Monday night. The NCAA's all-time leading scorer dropped 41 points to send No. 1 Iowa to the Final Four after the Hawkeyes beat No. 3 LSU 94-87. Clark was a first-team All-American for the third year in a row while setting numerous records before she heads to the WNBA later this year.
It was her fifth 40-point game of the season and the third time she hit nine three-pointers. However, one basketball Hall of Famer was surprised that the normally-dominant Clark put up such a performance. Paul Pierce insinuated that because Clark was playing against a Tigers team comprised of mostly Black players, she wouldn't be able to handle the competition. 'We saw a White girl in Iowa do it to a bunch of Black girls.
Iowa will face No. 3 UConn in the Final Four. UConn is fresh off Paige Bueckers' 28 points, 10 rebounds and six assists against USC's freshman phenom JuJu Watkins.
