Slow-Mo Video of Caitlin Clark's Flagrant Foul on Angel Reese Emerges
The Indiana Fever and Chicago Sky opened their 2025 WNBA seasons on Saturday, and things got heated late in the third quarter. After Caitlin Clark fouled Angel Reese, leaving her on the floor, players from both teams had to be separated. Reese had the ball on the block and was wide open for an easy layup when Clark wrapped both arms around her and swiped down hard at the ball, sending Reese to the hardwood. Reese wasn't happy—she immediately got up and said something to Clark. Advertisement Before she could get in Clark's face, Fever teammate Aliyah Boston stepped in. Clark then walked toward the bench with her hands up. Following the play, ESPN, which broadcast the game, showed fans a slow-motion replay of what occurred. The referees reviewed the play and ultimately gave Clark a flagrant one foul, while Boston and Reese were each assessed double technical fouls. ESPN's Holly Rowe later interviewed Clark during a timeout, admitting it was "just a good take foul" and there was "nothing malicious about it." "It's just a good take foul," Clark said. "Either Angel gets wide open 2 points or we send them to the free throw line. Nothing malicious about it. It's just a good take foul every basketball player knows that." Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Ruszkowski This game was the fifth time Clark and Reese have faced off in their young WNBA careers — and the first of five matchups between the Fever and Sky this season. Here are the dates for their next four meetings: Advertisement June 7 July 27 Aug. 9 Sept. 5 Related: Caitlin Clark Reveals True Feelings About Angel Reese Rivalry Related: Chicago Sky Under Fire for National Anthem Decision vs. Indiana Fever

REQUIRED READING: NCAA softball tournament format: How bracket works in 2025 Texas A&M finished the season ranked No. 1 in RPI and hoped that it would be enough to get them the No. 1 overall seed over the Sooners, who won the SEC regular season championship. NCAA Softball Committee Chair Kurt McGuffin talked to ESPN's Holly Rowe during the Selection Show to discuss why the Aggies earned the No. 1 seed. "I think what sets apart Texas A&M was 19 top 25 wins, which is No. 1 in the country," McGuffin said. "They also had two quality nonconference wins vs. Florida State and Texas Tech. I think those were the two pieces that set them for the No. 1 seed." The bracket has been revealed! ????

Dawn Staley's honest 3-word conclusion about South Carolina's offense summed up its national title game loss
Dawn Staley's honest 3-word conclusion about South Carolina's offense summed up its national title game loss Holly Rowe: "Who else can score for you right now? Where do those points come from?" Dawn Staley: "I don't know."#NCAAWBB — Jennifer X. Williams (@JenXperience) April 6, 2025 South Carolina was this close to repeating as women's college basketball national champions. But in the end, Dawn Staley's dynamic group simply couldn't overcome Geno Auriemma's Connecticut Huskies to go back-to-back. In fact, other than perhaps the opening tip and first few minutes, Sunday's 82-59 national title game loss to UConn was never all that competitive. Such is life. Such is sports. Arguably, the biggest reason South Carolina couldn't make it a more competitive affair was its struggling offense. The Gamecocks shot just 34.4 percent from the field and only 25 percent from 3-point land. Eleven sloppy turnovers didn't help matters as a focused UConn took advantage and took South Carolina apart in the process. It sure felt like the Gamecocks just ran out of steam at the worst time. At the start of the fourth quarter, you could start to tell Staley was resigned to the first national title game defeat of her coaching career. When ESPN's Holly Rowe asked how South Carolina could fix its offense to attempt a rally, Staley sounded exasperated, claiming she didn't really have an answer or see an easy remedy mid-game for her group. Oof: When the opposing coach is talking like that, you know you've done something right if you were in the position UConn was in.
