Iowa point guard Caitlin Clark is under a microscope after her collision with an Ohio State fan at Sunday’s game.
Clark and the unnamed fan crashed into each other when Buckeyes supporters stormed the court after No. 18 Ohio State upset No. 2 Iowa, 100-92, in overtime at the Schottenstein Center in Columbus — and some are debating about videos of the incident online.
Many came to Clark’s defense, but others also claimed the 22-year-old All-American appeared to embellish her reaction in the moment.
“I am a fan of Caitlin Clarke [sic] but this is a clear flop and fake,” Fox Sports radio host George Wrighster wrote , including a video clip showing the incident from a different angle.
“She’s an elite euro-stepping hooper and you mean to tell me she ran into this fan who tries to avoid last second.
“CC was mad about the loss and did something dumb. End of story.”
