NCAA Referees Give Better Calls to Caitlin Clark, Hints Ohio State’s 5’11 Rival Star

The matchups between Ohio State and the Iowa Hawkeyes have been electrifying this season. Fans experienced some breathtaking entertainment on both the occasions that these two teams met. Moreover, Caitlin Clark made their final regular season encounter more memorable by taking over Pete Maravich’s all-time scoring record. However, Ohio State’s talented No.12 Celeste Taylor feels that Clark gets some undue advantage.

The Buckeyes’ senior guard recently expressed her thoughts on what it’s like playing against Clark. Talking to Kenneth Davis at NBC Sports Chicago, she said, “Honestly, throughout the game, we try to stick to our game plan. There are certain things that are going to be called against us. The Calibre of player that Caitlin is, she’s going to get some calls. That’s just how the game goes.” 

Many have questioned the officials’ decision to grant Iowa two free throws just on the brink of half-time during their last matchup. The technical fouls given against Ohio State raised a lot of questions about whether those calls were made just to give Clark an opportunity to break the record. Anyhow, nothing conclusive came out of these claims and it was treated as mere reactions from Caitlin Clark’s haters.
