And of course the first thing I see when going into the bracket is a huge banner up top saying “Pick IOWA to WIN!!! Think Caitlin Clark and the Hawkeyes will cut down the nets? Pick them to win your bracket here.” With a big blue “PICK IOWA” button next to it.
I grasp just how good Clark has been, but…come on. No teams, not even with the highest scoring player in D1 history, should just be given a one-click rubber stamp in a bracket.
Sure, lots of casual WBB fans will probably just want to tune in for Clark or pick Iowa because she’s on their team, so I can perhaps see the thinking behind it. Doesn’t mean I disapprove any less.
Silly rant over. Should hopefully be a great tournament!
