LSU women’s basketball guard Hailey Van Lith had a tall task in guarding Iowa superstar Caitlin Clark during Monday night’s Elite Eight game in Albany, New York.
Well, Clark didn’t have too much trouble finding the basket while Van Lith was guarding her during the contest, as the LSU guard’s defensive effort fell short of slowing down the Iowa elite scorer.
As the internet is wont to do, Van Lith’s defensive woes turned into an instant meme. While anybody would struggle to slow down Clark when she’s on her A-game, Van Lith still caught plenty of flak from sports fans.
