It ashame they lost but they’ll get back on track. They missed some critical shots in the last two minutes that they usually make, and OSU hit some prayers down low. Clutch shots win close games. It will be fun to see how the rest of the season plays out.

[quote=jbyrd63 I try to watch the Clark girl play when she is on the floor. I’m amazed at her just raw shooting ability. Purest shooter ever men or women!! WNBA was begging her to turn pro but she is making more nil money than starting pay in pro [/quote]
Apparently you are too young to know about Pistol Pete Maravich, Bill Bradley, Michael Jordon, Jerry West, Larry Bird, Magic Johnson, Jerry Lucas, Oscar Robertson just to name a few.
I got myself a seniors' GPS. Not only does it tell me how to get to my destination, it tells me why I wanted to go there.

Not sure if there are any on youtube but her high school clips are equally insane. I know men and woman are different but I feel she is the best pure shooter I have seen. As a whole there are some woman that are/were pure shooters. Look at some Taylor Mikesell from OSU last years clips.

You really cannot compare men to women when it comes to basketball, but she is by far the best women's basketball player ever and it's not even close.
The WNBA is a joke and doesn't even turn a profit. Caitlin is making more than 10 times as much money in college as the highest paid WNBA player is making in the pros. Crazy money. She's also making millions for the colleges where ever she plays as the crowds are huge. Never seen people go bonkers over a girls basketball player like this before, it's bizarre.
Very cool that she's a Hawkeye. I'm glad she's a Hawkeye too, Bernie! And a very nice, down to earth young lady to boot.

Clark isn't even close to being the best all time shooter, she has never had a season where she hit 50% of her shots. I have watched her in several games and I admit she is good. Perhaps the best female player of our times.

Perhaps the best female player of our times. She's a guard.....she shoots almost 60% from 2 point land. How many players make 50% from three? Steph Curry doesn't make 50% of his shots....neither did Jordan or Kobe Bryant ...if she was a post player then yeah...she should be above 50%. Your post is silly....comparing post players to perimeter players..not to mention most of her shots are contested when she's double teamed and she is the focus of the opposing teams defense.

To say she is the best shooter ever is silly. She is very good, but not the best ever, Come on man.

She's the best all around female basketball player ever. Bar none. She is going to break every record for points and assists for women's college basketball. Assuming she decides to turn pro, she will be the highest paid female pro basketball player ever. She will probably rewrite all the record books in the WNBA as well. If you don't like her, I get it. But the numbers speak for themselves.

She's a fantastic shooter, a pure shooter in fact. Someone mentioned Jordan & even he wasn't a pure shooter, he was a deadly mid range scorer and a great athlete.
Larry Bird & Reggie Miller were pure shooters & could smoke Jordan long range.

I never said I don't like her. I wish her well, I just don't think she is the best shooter ever.
