Does Ms Reese pack them in the seats?
Other players don't care about attendance eh? Guess they missed that semester of Econ

They are both rookies.
It is neck and neck for Rookie of the year.
They played against each other in the 2023 National Championship game. Reese won.
They played again in the Elite 8 this year with Clark winning that one.
Media has already tried to stir up a rivalry.
Clark had more 1st team AA elections. Clark won college regular season mvp. Reese won NCAA Tournament MVP.
WNBA states
Clark (6' guard) 16.8 points, 5.9 rebounds, 7.8 assists, 1.5 steals
Reese (6'3" forward)13.8 points, 11.8 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 1.5 steals
They both play for sub .500 teams in the same conference.
A damn good chance of a lengthy rivalry between the two.

The Bayou Barbie made two gestures during the national championship, hitting the "You can't see me" hand wave and pointing at her ring finger, with Clark just a few steps away.
After LSU won, critics came after Reese's trash-talking. But Clark, who made the same "You can't see me" gesture earlier in the tournament, didn't let that fly.
