Honest Q. Maybe I missed it. Was anyone disrespecting LSU before the game? Iowa talked about how great the Tigers are, etc. They had 2 losses all season. LSU played great, they won, but then postgame was all about 'disrespecting us,' etc. Seemed odd.

Hidalgo is great. Caitlin Clark sweeps the national player of the year awards. They're both guards. The award goes to the best guard that 'exemplifies ball handling, scoring, passing and will to win.' Clark led the country in scoring, assists & Iowa won 33 games. I'm confused.
