“I think the coach’s job is to help educate the players on what’s going to help us win. Well, you’ve got to keep your players in line and explain to them that, ‘That’s going to cost us.’ If you come down too hard on your players, they’re going to transfer out. I think that’s a function of the transfer portal. To me, taunting hurts your team, as you can get a technical foul. “I wouldn’t let my players jaw (like that), because you can get a technical. ”Well, I’m old-school,” the Buffs legend laughed. She’s athletic, she can make shots, she can hit the open player, she can play the point, she can shoot with range.”Īnd she’s more, um, chatty than Barry would prefer. People that aren’t even basketball fans are talking about her. “If you’re a sports fan, if you’re a basketball fan, you’ve got to watch Caitlin Clark. “I mean, everybody wants to watch Caitlin Clark,” CU icon and former women’s basketball coach Ceal Barry told me Monday. The highest-rated Buffs football game last fall was 1.25 million for CU’s opener against TCU, also on ESPN. Context: Nuggets-Grizzlies a month ago got 1.21 million on the Mothership. The CU-Iowa hoops game during the women’s Sweet 16 drew 1.29 million viewers on ESPN. Keeler: The best way for Anthony Davis, Lakers to slow down Nuggets’ Nikola Jokic? Kidnapping might actually be it. And then pointed to the finger where her championship ring was going. So, as Reese’s Tigers were putting the finishing touches on the Hawkeyes in a 102-85 victory, the LSU forward gave the Cena gesture right back. She’s also copped actor/wrestler John Cena’s “You Can’t See Me” hand wave to throw at foes, especially after plunging another metaphorical dagger into a defense.

Plavsic didn’t start the game and managed just 18 minutes as well. ‘You’re playing against your baby daddy.’ He’s just trying to get in your head but the coaches said don’t let anybody get in your head… I did not let him get in my head, and when he get in your head, it makes you mad,” Tshiebwe said postgame. He cussed me out in the game all the time. Tshiebwe voiced his opinion on the trash talk by Uros Plavsic. It didn’t come easy, and reigning National Player of the Year Oscar Tshiebwe certainly sounded annoyed in his postgame press conference. However, the Wildcats, who took a 20-point lead into the half, made sure they sent Tennessee back to Knoxville with another loss.
