“What Caitlin Clark Is Doing to Hailey Van Lith Is Illegal”: Iowa Star’s Dominance over Angel Reese and Co Leaves Fans in Disbelief

Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese are in full rage mode for their Elite 8 clash. But it seems like the NCAA’s All-Time Leading Scorer has an upper hand, both on the court and in the hearts of many. Stretching Iowa’s lead every time they need to separate themselves from the Tigers, Clark brings her deep threes, which can demoralize any defense. And Hailey Van Lith was no exception. The 2x First Team All ACC is on guard duty on Iowa’s No. 22. However, that does not faze the 3× Big Ten Player of the Year as she bagged 9 shots from beyond the arc.

In an incredibly crisp and well-thought-out display of basketball, Caitlin Clark made 27 points out of her 41 total just with threes. But she was not just a scorer today. Clark proved that winning comes above her personal achievements. Nevertheless, while she made another record for the most 3-pointers in a game, she also improved her teammates’ contributions.

The MVP Arena in New York was surely in awe of witnessing the 3× Dawn Staley Award (2021–2023) winner make planned passes once again. While she could not beat her own best from the Colorado game, she did almost reach it. Clark became the team leader today with 7 rebounds and 12 assists. On the other hand, Van Lith only scored 9 points while dishing out 1 assist. However, this was a better scoring display from the 22-year-old as the highest she reached before this round in the NCAA Tournament was 7 points.

The contrast in the two performances between Clark and Van Lith is clear to see just from their stats. And the former Louisville star was visibly frustrated as Clark continued making shot after shot.

Giving Hailey Van Lith a rough time, Clark also brought in many comments from her fans.

Caitlin Clark obliterates Hailey Van Lith as fans spew venom at the LSU star

Collecting an astounding pool of fans and followers everywhere, Clark has primarily impacted the views of women’s basketball. With an amazing performance against last year’s final rivals, the senior has made some memorable moments before leaving for the WNBA. Following this, fans on the internet are pouring out their shocking responses.

A fan humorously pointed out a made-up law to what Clark was doing on the floor, writing, “What Caitlin Clark is doing to Hailey Van Lith is illegal in 80 countries.”

Another fan decided to dive into the world of entertainment as he pointed out how Van Lith was left with no option but to give the iconic Jim Halpert from The Office look after she had no answers for the Hawkeyes superstar.

One fan decided to hop into Van Lith’s shoes and accept that she was getting dominated by a better player on the night. Van Lith will likely have a similar reaction, albeit not so obvious.

Another X user shared a hilarious video of how helpless Van Lith was on the night and she would have needed the help of the police to stop the Iowa juggernaut.

And how would it be a meme bonanza without NBA icon Shaquille O’Neal? One fan decided to share a clip of him uttering his famous words, “Barbeque chicken,” which he used for players who had no shot at guarding him.

However, one fan pointed out how Van Lith took up the challenge to guard arguably the best college basketball player in the world. Even though she didn’t come out on top, Van Lith has a lot to look forward to.

The March Madness is only getting steamier as these two teams with the arch-nemesis come face-to-face again. But increasing the intensity is their Final Four competitors UConn Huskies who are coming with full force to rip off anyone who stands in their way. Do you think Caitlin Clark will take the trophy home this time?
