Former NBA star Paul Pierce said he was only impressed by University of Iowa Hawkeyes female basketball star <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/caitlin-clark-breaks-ncaa-scoring-record-set-by-pistol-pete-maravich" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Caitlin Clark</a> after she &#8220;beat a bunch of black girls&#8221; on the court on Monday in the Elite Eight round of the NCAA Women&#8217;s Basketball Tournament in Albany, New York.
On Tuesday, Fox Sports &#8220;<a href="https://x.com/awfulannouncing/status/1775181311113634300?s=20">Undisputed Live</a>&#8220; hosts Skip Bayless and Keyshawn Johnson were discussing Iowa&#8217;s 94-87 victory over the LSU Tigers (Louisiana State University) with the former NBA star, who said he was shocked by Clark&#8217;s performance in the 2024 March Madness round held at MVP Arena.
&#8220;We saw a white girl in Iowa do it to a bunch of black girls,&#8221; Pierce told the hosts. &#8220;That gained my respect. That gained my respect. Like, oh she didn&#8217;t do this to some other white girls over here in Colorado, or wherever.&#8221;
&#8220;She [Clark] did it to some girls from LSU, who we thought was some dogs, [the]defending (2023) champs,&#8221; he added. &#8220;She put them on her knee and spanked them. I didn&#8217;t expect that.&#8221;

Clark&#8217;s numbers after the matchup were incredibly impressive: she scored a total of 41 points, seven rebounds, and 12 assists during the game that advanced the Hawkeyes to the Final Four. 
It is the first time in Iowa&#8217;s history that the Hawkeyes have gone back-to-back seasons to the Final Four. Last year, the <a href="https://www.ncaa.com/live-updates/basketball-women/d1/live-updates-no-2-iowa-vs-no-3-lsu-national-championship-game">championship</a> game came down to the #3 Tigers beating out #2 Hawkeyes 102-85, a first in the Tigers program history, the <a href="https://www.ncaa.com/live-updates/basketball-women/d1/live-updates-no-2-iowa-vs-no-3-lsu-national-championship-game" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NCAA</a> noted.
&#8220;To get back here is really hard,&#8221; Clark told the press after the game. &#8220;This region was loaded with so much talent. Job&#8217;s not finished.&#8221;
The comments on the sports channel seemed to echo those of other players in the sports world who commented online about Iowa&#8217;s victory, <a href="https://www.espn.com/womens-college-basketball/story/_/id/39854377/lsu-iowa-caitlin-clark-angel-reese-elite-eight-march-madness-ncaa-tournament">ESPN</a> noted.
&#8220;Bruhhhh Caitlyn [sic] Clark can&#8217;t be guarded !!!!!&#8221; San Francisco 49ers star Deebo Samuels <a href="https://x.com/19problemz/status/1774966515206644212?s=20">wrote</a> on X.
Kansas City Chiefs defensive star Chris Jones <a href="https://twitter.com/StoneColdJones/status/1774970341233655986">added</a>, &#8220;The women&#8217;s basketball games are more exciting than the men.&#8221;
The Tennessee Titans&#8217; Calvin Ridley <a href="https://twitter.com/CalvinRidley1/status/1774966544625197140">wrote</a>, &#8220;[Damn] she good,&#8221; in reference to Clark.
On Friday, the Hawkeyes travel to Cleveland, Ohio, to play the Connecticut Huskies in the Final Four round of the NCAA tournament.
