With the help of Reese & LSU dating back to last year.

Soon she’ll be off to the WNBA, never to be heard from again. Nothing and no one is going to make that league popular.

Not really. It's still not a good product to watch.

Heroes need a villain and LSU filled that role perfectly. That's going to be gone next year

Apollo Creed had some insightful words about sporting event promotion in the original Rocky. He said, “Without a ranked contender, what this fight needs is a novelty.” So he picked a local club fighter of Italian heritage with a catchy nickname in an attempt to arouse interest.
Clark and Reece have given women’s basketball (which no one generally gives a frick about) a little bit of novelty due to their conflicts, personalities, appearances. And let’s be real, while Clark isn’t a supermodel, she is a cute girl-next-door type and not really who you would expect to be breaking scoring records.
But once they move on and it’s back to ten anonymous college girls out there playing below the rim, no one is going to care anymore unless one of them is a hot TikTok star.

But will it carry over to next year?

I disagree.
It’s the media shoving her and women’s basketball down our throat.

College basketball needs her to win this title tomorrow to sell that vision to young people. The sport was awful for so long with dynasties and imbalance. Clark going to a middling program and having National Title success is good for the game.
