It’s been a headline-worthy week for Caitlin Clark.

The Iowa guard has been the topic of endless debates this week after her Hawkeyes fell to LSU in the NCAA women’s national championship game Sunday. With just seconds remaining, LSU’s Angel Reese taunted Clark. Since then, the sporting world has been debating the fine line between gamesmanship and sportsmanship.

On Tuesday, Clark joined ESPN to talk about the incident, First Lady Jill Biden’s idea of inviting both LSU and Iowa to the White House (Reese called it a joke) and the idea that there is a different standard for women than there is for men.

On Angel Reese:

In the final seconds of LSU’s 102-85 win over Iowa, Reese taunted Clark with one of Clark’s own moves, the John Cena “you can’t see me” hand gesture.

“I don’t think Angel should be criticized at all. No matter which way it goes, she should never be criticized for what she did. I’m just one that competes and she competed. I think everyone knew there was going to be a little trash talk the entire tournament. It’s not just me and Angel. … LSU deserves it. They played so well. I’m a big fan of hers.”

On going to the White House

First Lady Jill Biden said she wants the Iowa women’s basketball team to be invited to the White House in addition to the national title winner LSU.

“I don’t think runners-up usually go to the White House. I think LSU should enjoy that moment for them. Obviously, they deserve to go there. Maybe I can go to the White House on different terms, though. That’s for LSU. That’s a pretty cool moment, and they should enjoy every second of being a champion. That’s their’s to do. …

“I appreciate the First Lady being in the house and watching both teams and supporting the greatness of women’s basketball.”

On different standard for men and women

“I think we’ve always had trash talk. That’s what it’s been. People, as they turn on the game, appreciate it for what it is. I’m lucky enough to play this game and have this emotion. I wear it on my sleeve and so everybody else. That should never be torn down. That should never be criticized. I believe that’s what makes this game so fun. It’s what draws people to this game. … Either way, you should be able to play with that emotion. That’s why people tune in. …

“That’s how I’m going to continue to play. That’s how every girl should continue to play.”
