BREAKING: Caitlin Clark-Paige Bueckers Post Causes Mega Stir After UConn National Championship

Spread the love

After the UConn Huskies defeated the South Carolina Gamecocks to win the women’s basketball national championship, the debate between Paige Bueckers and Caitlin Clark heated up once again.

Although Clark is now playing in the WNBA, comparisons between the two have persisted—especially considering their frequent rivalry in college. With Bueckers now having secured a national title—an achievement Clark didn’t reach with Iowa—the debate over who’s better has resurfaced.

A recent Reddit post in a Caitlin Clark fan group stirred the pot even more. Titled “Bueckers v Clark,” the post argued that criticisms often directed at Clark actually apply more accurately to Bueckers.

The thread quickly filled with passionate responses. Many came to Clark’s defense, with some harshly criticizing Bueckers. One user noted, “Their career stats aren’t even close—CC is on another level.” Another remarked, referencing Clark’s lack of a title, “I can’t imagine Stewie saying Caitlin’s not great just because she didn’t win one.”

One commenter predicted, “I think Paige will be an average pro. Something tells me Dallas will struggle with her at first. She’ll be exhausted coming off a long college season, doing the media rounds, and then jumping into a 40-game WNBA schedule—especially with her history of knee issues.”

Another chimed in, “Paige is a good player, but her game is dull—like the food at a Minnesota potluck. Clark and DT play with such fiery emotion—it’s contagious. Paige playing for UConn makes it feel like there’s no real story. It’s just the best school winning with a great player.”

Someone else imagined, “What if Clark had Azzi Fudd and Sarah Strong at Iowa?”

Meanwhile, over on X (formerly Twitter), Clark went viral for being the only top-five recruit from the 2020 class to never win a national championship—prompting both criticism and defense from fans.

As Bueckers prepares to enter the WNBA, the conversation around Clark’s legacy is likely to keep evolving. Of course, a WNBA title could silence much of the criticism surrounding the Indiana Fever star.
