Tired of the Caitlin Clark hype?

I know that's not the case. Frankly, I can't help but be fascinated by this whole journey. As Clark continues to break her records and earn a spot in the WNBA, she will have a chance to win a national title along the way. This is a really great story overall.

I mean, it's a little unfair to compare women's basketball to men's basketball, but what Clark accomplished is still impressive. (RELATED: Western Michigan vs. Ball State game has to have one of the craziest endings in college basketball history)

It will be very interesting to see how this plays out in the conference tournaments, March Madness, and ultimately the WNBA.
