Paige Spiranac has leapt to Caitlin Clark's defense over the 'absolutely vicious' hate directed towards the Iowa sensation.
Clark, widely considered one of the greatest college basketball players of all time, failed to end her Iowa career on a high after losing 87-75 to South Carolina in Sunday night's NCAA Championship game.
Despite setting countless NCAA records over the course of the season, and now preparing to enter this year's WNBA Draft, the 22-year-old has been subjected to criticism by current and former players as well as fans on social media.
Phoenix Mercury star Diana Taurasi recently warned Clark that 'reality is coming' ahead of her move into the WNBA, while Las Vegas Aces' Kelsey Plum also mocked her tendency to shoot deep 3-pointers.
Kansas Jayhawks legend Lynette Woodard, meanwhile, insisted over the weekend she has not beaten her NCAA scoring record after pointing out that she played with a men's basketball and could only shoot for 2-pointers in her time.
