‘Is what it is’: Bitter basketball rivalry takes fresh twist as prodigy whacked in the head by nemesis

With shortly under three minutes remaining in the third quarter of Sunday’s Fever-Sky game, Caitlin Clark drove to the basket and got whacked in the head by Angel Reese.

“What’s going through my mind? I need to make these two free throws. That’s all I’m thinking about. It’s just part of basketball. It is what it is,” Clark said.Reese — who recorded her sixth straight double-double with 11 points and 13 rebounds while adding five assists — did not think she did anything wrong.

Reese and Clark have been intertwined since last year’s women’s college basketball season, when Reese taunted Clark at the end of the national championship game when LSU beat Iowa.
