Tara Davis-Woodhall, the recently crowned indoor world champion in the long jump, has been soaring to new heights as she prepares for the upcoming Paris competitions. Not only is she a legend in her field, but she also isn’t one to shy away from sharing her opinions. Most recently, following Iowa’s 87-75 loss to South Carolina in Sunday’s NCAA Tournament national championship, Caitlin Clark’s illustrious collegiate career has drawn to a close.

Clark’s performance in her last collegiate game was nothing short of remarkable, as she left everything on the court in her pursuit of a first national title. But despite finishing with an impressive stat line, her efforts were ultimately not enough to secure victory. Amidst the aftermath of the game, Robert Griffin III, a former American football quarterback, weighed in with a comment, only to be sharply criticized by Tara Davis-Woodhall.

Despite an impressive performance, including 30 points, eight rebounds, and five assists, Caitlin Clark’s contributions were insufficient to secure victory for her team. Her scoring dominance was particularly evident in the first quarter, where she amassed 18 points, but she struggled to maintain her effectiveness as the game progressed, culminating in a 10-of-28 shooting performance overall, ultimately resulting in defeat.

However, in the men’s matchup, it was a collective effort that propelled UConn to clinch back-to-back NCAA basketball championships. Tristen Newton led the charge for UConn with an impressive 20 points, supported by Stephon Castle, who contributed 15 points to the team’s success.
