Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark has proven once again that she’s all class.
On Friday night, South Carolina defeated Texas to punch its ticket in the national championship game for the second straight year. A few hours later, UConn dismantled UCLA thanks to standout performances from Sarah Strong, Azzi Fudd and Paige Bueckers.
With the national championship game set for this Sunday afternoon, ESPN announced that Clark will be part of the network’s coverage. The NCAA’s all-time leading scorer has carved out time in her busy schedule to make an appearance on “The Bird & Taurasi Show.”
During last year’s Final Four, basketball legend Diana Taurasi told Clark that “reality is coming” when she makes it to the WNBA.
“Reality is coming, there’s levels to this thing,” Taurasi said. “And that’s just life, we all went through it. You look superhuman playing against some 18-year-olds but you’re going to come [play] with some grown women that have been playing professional basketball for a long time.”

Despite everything that’s been said in the past, Clark is more than willing to sit down and talk hoops with Bird and Taurasi.
Clark was actually trending during the Final Four games on Friday night. That’s because she stopped South Carolina and UConn from getting to the national title game in her final two years of college basketball, respectively.
“I was so spoiled with Caitlin the last 2 years I didn’t realize teams could play at such a low level this far in the tournament,” one fan tweeted.
Another fan said, “Somebody tweet Diana Taurasi & tell her, does she see now why Caitlin Clark is probably the #1 college talent we’ve ever seen? She beat that South Carolina team and her 2nd best player wasn’t anywhere near what Texas had. She beat that UConn team and her 2nd best wasn’t near UConn’s.”
“IOWA beat both these teams in the Final Four in consecutive years,” a third fan wrote. “Do not ever talk to me again about Caitlin Clark being anything less than the greatest dragon slayer of all-time.”
If we had to guess, fans will be fired up to see Clark on “The Bird & Taurasi Show.”
Sunday’s national title game will tip off at 3 p.m. ET.
