LSU players have criticized Iowa’s Caitlin Clark’s lax defense in the Final Four semifinals against South Carolina. Clark was seen guarding Gamecock guard Raven Johnson from a considerable distance, and even signaling her off dismissively when Johnson had the ball outside the three-point line. Although Clark’s antics did not cost her team the game, LSU players have suggested that her lack of defensive concentration could be exploited in the upcoming national championship game. LSU players have a considerably higher conversion rate from beyond the arc compared to South Carolina’s guards which Clark faced in the Final Four semifinals. LSU’s guard Alexis Morris, who experienced Clark’s lack of defensive pressure firsthand, said that leaving her open would be a mistake as she and her team are “going to take advantage.” Iowa is set to play against LSU on Sunday in front of a sold-out crowd at Iowa City’s Carver-Hawkeye Arena.
