Following LSU’s national title win over Iowa, a couple of comments made by LSU players about Iowa’s Caitlyn Clark have drawn social media attention.
“Caitlyn, you had an amazing game, you a great player, but you gotta put some respect on LSU,” guard [autotag]Alexis Morris[/autotag] said when taking the podium during the celebration. “And you gotta put some respect on my name, and you gotta put some respect on Coach [autotag]Kim Mulkey[/autotag].
Caitlyn Clark is a hell of a player, sure, but I don’t take disrespect lightly, she disrespected Alexis (Morris),” forward [autotag]Angel Reese[/autotag] said later on the ESPN broadcast.
"Caitlin … you a great player. But, you gotta put some respect on LSU."

It’s not clear what exactly LSU took issue with. Clark didn’t seem to say anything inflammatory to the media this week, but it certainly appears that Morris and Reese took issue with something that was directed at Morris.
It could just be that Morris and Clark shared some trash talk during the game. Morris and Reese both took the time to praise Clark’s play as well after she scored 30.
Iowa and LSU could face each other again next year with many of the same faces.
