Caitlin Clark may have exited the NCAA stage without a national title, but her impact on the game has been nothing short of legendary. The Iowa superstar shattered records, drew millions of viewers, and inspired a new generation of women’s basketball fans. Though her college career has ended, fans won’t have to wait long to see her on the big stage again.
According to basketball reporter Vanshay Murdock, Clark will be joining The Bird and Taurasi Show this Sunday during the broadcast of the NCAA women’s national championship game.
The show, co-hosted by former UConn legends Sue Bird and Diana Taurasi, has become a staple of Final Four coverage in recent years.
NCAA’s biggest stars collide in a new way
Bird and Taurasi provided color commentary during Friday night’s Final Four matchups-Texas vs. South Carolina and UConn vs. UCLA. They will return to the air for Sunday’s title game, and their lineup of guest appearances includes none other than NCAA‘s all-time leading scorer, Clark.
For fans who still feel the sting of Clark‘s national title dreams ending without a trophy, this appearance offers one last opportunity to see her grace the NCAA spotlight-even if it’s from behind a desk instead of on the hardwood.
What makes this appearance particularly interesting is the dynamic between Clark and Taurasi. Just last year, the WNBA icon made headlines by seemingly downplaying Clark‘s future in the pros, stating: “Reality is coming… You’re going to go from playing against 18-year-olds to playing against women. Let me tell you, it’s a big difference.”
The comment sparked backlash, with many fans feeling it was dismissive of Clark‘s talents.
Now, the two will share airtime in what could be either a lighthearted reunion or an awkward encounter, depending on how it all unfolds. Either way, the cameras will be rolling, and fans will be watching.
Despite any past remarks, there’s no denying the star power that each person brings to the table. Taurasi is a three-time WNBA champion and five-time Olympic gold medalist, while Clark just capped off a collegiate career with more than 3,900 points and has become one of the most recognizable figures in sports.
