With the women’s Final Four on Friday night, everyone has now shifted to the mega matchup between Caitlin Clark and the Iowa Hawkeyes going against Paige Bueckers and the UConn Huskies.

As expected, Molly Qerim and the First Take crew had something to say about the matchup.

Qerim is usually not one to add her strong two cents on topics, but on Thursday, she had something to reveal about Clark and all of the hoopla surrounding her.

ESPN’s Molly Qerim decided to state that we would not be talking about Caitlin Clark as much as we are if Paige Bueckers did not miss so much time with injuries over two seasons.

This conversation came about after Stephen A. Smith compared Clark to Stephen Curry while debating whether she should be considered the “GOAT” if Iowa wins the national title.

Qerim made it known that Clark and the Hawkeyes will be facing a diminished Huskies team in Cleveland on Friday.

Smith was not in agreement:

“That’s wrong, Molly,” Smith told Qerim.
