A quiet exchange of words between Caitlin Clark and Kim Mulkey has stirred the interest of basketball enthusiasts in recent days. Mulkey, who led LSU and Angel Reese to victory over Clark’s Hawkeyes in last season’s national championship game, subtly expressed dissatisfaction with Clark’s playing style while emphasizing the Tigers’ team-oriented scoring approach.

In a press conference last week, Mulkey remarked, “We don’t have any players shooting 40 times a game like you see around the country. That’s not us.”
When questioned about facing criticism, including Mulkey’s comments, Iowa star Caitlin Clark and Kim Mulkey chose the high road, stating on Saturday, “That’s not something I worry about. The people that I really care about, the people that I really love – they always have my back. … Those are the people that are really going to matter to me.”

Fans quickly seized the opportunity to redirect Mulkey’s comments back at her. However, until a potential rematch occurs, LSU holds the bragging rights with a championship ring on their finger. The subtle feud has sparked fan demands for a rematch between Clark and Angel Reese, adding an extra layer of anticipation to potential future matchups in the basketball rivalry.
