The NCAA Division I all-time leading scorer and a generational talent, the point guard of the Iowa Hawkeyes, Caitlin Clark, once again imposingly led her club to the Final Four of the NCAA Tournament after defeating the LSU Tigers in Elite Eight matchup.
She went on to score 41 points, 12 assists, and 7 rebounds. The defending national champion LSU Tigers saw defeat with a concluding score of 94-87. During one of the episodes of FS1’s Undisputed, former NBA champion and ten-time All-Star, Hall of Famer Paul Pierce shared that he was surprised regarding the win.
Pierce, during the episode, revealed his opinions to Keyshawn Johnson and Skip Bayless stating, “We saw a white girl in Iowa do it to a bunch of Black girls…That gained my respect. That gained my respect! That’s like, oh she didn’t do this to some other little white girls that were over in Colorado or wherever. She did it to some girls from LSU who we thought were some dogs!”
Bayless mentioned in between that LSU were the “defending champs” and Pierce continued, “And put ‘em on her knee and spanked them. I didn’t expect that.”

Pierce also shared, “I was mesmerized by her. I will tell you this, this was the greatest performance I’ve ever seen in the NCAA Tournament girl or boy. I’ll tell you why because rarely does a game like this live up to its hype. Rarely, do you have the two superstars play like superstars.”
The Iowa Hawkeyes will next face the Connecticut Huskies in the NCAA Tournament Final Four.
