Swoopes characterized her past remarks about Clark as a “mistake” and praised the Hawkeyes star for her contributions to women’s basketball. “But I will say what I said to her was I made a mistake in saying it was your fifth year when it is your fourth,” Swoopes said
Sheryl Swoopes stated that she spoke with Iowa guard Caitlin Clark to address her critical remarks about Clark’s record-breaking season.
“A couple of weeks ago, I contacted (LSU’s Angel Reese), had a great conversation with him over the phone, and sent a message to Caitlin.” She replied. Swoopes stated on Sunday’s Baylor-Texas Tech broadcast: “She and I went back and forth.” “I won’t tell you what she said; that’s up to her if she wants to share.
