Caitlin Clark has had a fantastic year for Iowa throughout 2024, but Sunday’s game against Nebraska proved to be frustrating at times for her.
At one point in the outing Clark found herself having gone 2-of-13 from the field and 0-of-9 from beyond the arc.
Understandably, she was annoyed.
How did that manifest itself? With something of a childish tantrum on the bench:

So far the only person to publicly call out and ridicule Clark this season has been LSU head coach Kim Mulkey.
On Sunday, some other folks jumped on the bandwagon:
I’ve been supporting Caitlin Clark cuz she’s PHENOMENAL, but how she complains after every call or no call that doesn’t go her way gets annoying.

I love Caitlin Clark & all she’s done for women’s college hoops. She’s arguably the best college women’s player ever. Best college women’s 3 shooter ever! However, she needs to stop complaining about every call against her & her team! Annoying! Refs aren’t always wrong! Be classy

Caitlin Clark is overrated imo. Not saying she isnt good but teams let her do whatever she wants. When you dont let her run all over the court she is not nearly as effective, and I am in the minority who thinks she wont be that big of a standout in the league.

Eventually Clark righted the ship against Nebraska and helped Iowa make a late rally, but it didn’t erase the memory of her hissy fit.
Obviously Clark is a fantastic talent, but a certain behavioral standard is expected out of everyone.

Clark didn’t follow it during her Big Ten Women’s Basketball Tournament championship showdown against Nebraska.
Hopefully she learns from the experience and becomes better off for it.
Will Clark address her tantrum and apologize for it at some point before the weekend concludes? Time will tell.
