Before Mondayâs matchup, Reese spoke highly of Clark and said âitâs not personalâ when the two college stars go at each other on the court.
“Once we get out between those lines⊠if I see you walking down the street, it’s like, ‘Hey, girl, what’s up? Let’s hang out.’ I think people just take it like we hate each other,â Reese said to reporters. âMe and Caitlin Clark don’t hate each other. I want everybody to understand that. It’s just a super-competitive game.â
âOnce I get between those lines, there’s no friends,â the star forward continued. âI have plenty of friends outside of the game. But when I get between those lines, we’re not we’re not friends. We’re not buddies.â
Clark, who is expected to go first overall in this monthâs WNBA Draft, reminded fans and the media that beyond this tournament, both she and Reese have bright futures ahead in basketball.
“I think both of our careers, whether she decides to stay or to go, weâll have great careers in the WNBA, and thatâs been both of our dreams all along,â Clark said of her and Reese.
âI think weâre both excited for that, as well,” she added.
