To those who paid attention to women’s basketball for the first time in March: It is never like this, but it is also always like this.
There has never been a player like Iowa’s Caitlin Clark, who has a seemingly endless array of ways to get a bucket.

If you didn’t know women talked trash just like the men, you literally haven’t been paying attention.
