00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:02.130
- South Carolina right now, undefeated.

2
00:00:02.130 --> 00:00:03.870
Which team is best
positioned to defeat them

3
00:00:03.870 --> 00:00:05.370
in the upcoming tournament?

4
00:00:05.370 --> 00:00:07.950
Eric, give me your terrible answer.

5
00:00:07.950 --> 00:00:08.783
- Terrible answer?

6
00:00:08.783 --> 00:00:09.616
I haven't even told them.

7
00:00:09.616 --> 00:00:10.860
I haven't even told the
people that I think it

8
00:00:10.860 --> 00:00:13.140
I think it's gonna be UTEP,
I haven't even done that,

9
00:00:13.140 --> 00:00:14.280
no, I'm kidding.

10
00:00:14.280 --> 00:00:16.170
No, shout out to the Miners,

11
00:00:16.170 --> 00:00:19.560
anyway, the team I'm picking is Indiana

12
00:00:19.560 --> 00:00:21.422
and I'm picking them because
they've pretty much been very

13
00:00:21.422 --> 00:00:24.150
clearly the number two
team in the country this

14
00:00:24.150 --> 00:00:25.500
entire season.

15
00:00:25.500 --> 00:00:27.861
Big 10 Women's Basketball
has been an absolutely

16
00:00:27.861 --> 00:00:30.510
just a terminator of a conference.

17
00:00:30.510 --> 00:00:32.010
So many amazing teams.

18
00:00:32.010 --> 00:00:35.730
Maryland, Iowa, you have Ohio
State who did beat Indiana

19
00:00:35.730 --> 00:00:38.040
in the Big 10 Tournament, yes.

20
00:00:38.040 --> 00:00:39.960
Dawn Staley's squad enters this tournament

21
00:00:39.960 --> 00:00:42.030
as the number one team in
the country, and it's gonna

22
00:00:42.030 --> 00:00:44.280
take a monumental effort to beat them.

23
00:00:44.280 --> 00:00:47.790
But two words, Mackenzie
Holmes, she has been the leader

24
00:00:47.790 --> 00:00:48.630
of this team.

25
00:00:48.630 --> 00:00:50.340
She's on the Wooden Award Watch List.

26
00:00:50.340 --> 00:00:51.810
She is absolutely phenomenal.

27
00:00:51.810 --> 00:00:53.670
And she, yes, not only
can she take over a game

28
00:00:53.670 --> 00:00:55.860
but she's the kind of
emotional leader that can take

29
00:00:55.860 --> 00:00:57.600
down a Dawn Staley team.

30
00:00:57.600 --> 00:00:59.160
But what team do you think?

31
00:00:59.160 --> 00:01:01.710
- Eric, right conference, wrong team.

32
00:01:01.710 --> 00:01:02.760
The answer was right in front of you,

33
00:01:02.760 --> 00:01:03.840
I don't know how you got this wrong.

34
00:01:03.840 --> 00:01:05.130
The Iowa Hawkeyes, we're talking

35
00:01:05.130 --> 00:01:06.960
about one of the best
teams in the country,

36
00:01:06.960 --> 00:01:08.850
Caitlin Clark, the
storyline is right there.

37
00:01:08.850 --> 00:01:10.980
I mean, she's essentially,
she's a year away

38
00:01:10.980 --> 00:01:12.360
from breaking the all-time scoring record.

39
00:01:12.360 --> 00:01:14.760
She's having her breakout season season,

40
00:01:14.760 --> 00:01:16.710
which is incredible, considering how great

41
00:01:16.710 --> 00:01:18.180
she's been her first two seasons.

42
00:01:18.180 --> 00:01:22.590
It seems like team success is
gonna be one of her best years

43
00:01:22.590 --> 00:01:25.541
in the tournament as far
as an overall team success.

44
00:01:25.541 --> 00:01:29.315
This team is primed to win it all.

45
00:01:29.315 --> 00:01:34.315
You make a great point,
fine Indiana is a okay team.

46
00:01:34.416 --> 00:01:37.140
They're great, but they
don't have the individual

47
00:01:37.140 --> 00:01:40.530
star power that Caitlin Clark provides.

48
00:01:40.530 --> 00:01:42.840
- [Announcer] Here's
Clark she fires, it goes.

49
00:01:43.974 --> 00:01:45.435
(group cheering)

50
00:01:45.435 --> 00:01:46.352
She hit it.

51
00:01:48.151 --> 00:01:49.530
Wow.

52
00:01:49.530 --> 00:01:50.430
- [DJ] Thanks for watching,

53
00:01:50.430 --> 00:01:52.080
and stick with Deadspin for more.
