I never took LSU saying the way Iowa guarded SC to be disrespectful came from a racial place. I think it came from a competitive place with LSU saying we will burn you if you guard us like that. Frankly, Iowa did not respect SC’s outside shooting. SC never proved them wrong.

Not everything is racial. Iowa guarding SC like that was not. It was believing SC couldn’t shoot. That’s it.

After the game Morris ( I think) said something like “this is also for our sec sisters in South Carolina.” That pretty much tells you all you need to know. It’s pretty obvious Reese and Morris (and Dawn Staley etc ) are rubbed the wrong way by a group of white girls who can hoop. It’s impossible to separate the racial dynamics and a large part of why Reese had it out for Clark . I’m not saying they’re racist. They all complimented Clark’s game afterwards. But the last person they want to lose to is a scrawny midwestern white girl.

In other words, Whitlock is completely right about at least some of the actors . I get that you can talk about respect/disrespect in purely basketball terms like “he doesn’t respect my jumper” but based on the South Carolina comments , Staley’s whining etc I think we know what this is about.
