2 things I've noticed watching the first women's bball game in several years

1. The girl/women players complain after every single thing that doesn't go their way. I see Clark just obviously traveled and throws her hands up and complains. I've seen that happen 50 times this game where an Iowa player gets blocked by an LSU player and gut first reaction is to turn to ref and throw their hands up. Saw Van Lith throw a pass way over Angel's head, and her immediate reaction is to throw hands up and complain. It's when anything doesn't go their way they throw their hands up to the ref. I took about 12 videos I have on my phone from just the 3rd quarter. Just saw one recent at 8 seconds left in 4th. Iowa player falls down on own. Immediate reaction is to throw hands up to the ref. I say that one as it's easily rewindable to find since we're at the end of the game, but there were 50+ in the game.

2. It's very much like 6th grade basketball in that all the players are just standing under the rim, chunking up lay ups, miss, defense has their hands up the entire time flat footed never leaving the ground, 8 players under the rim, another chunk up, another miss. Once they're under the rim, no one tries to kick it back out or create any separation. It's just 8 bodies with hands up flat footed with one chunk up after another. That's like 60% of the game.

It's very chaotic basketball with very little control or ball handling skills. I really would like Caitlin Clark to do this 3 person tournament with men that Ice Cube offered. I doubt she does it in fear of the competition despite the $5 mil, but it is just a vastly different game watching it for the first time in years compared to men.
