Van Lith was part of the Louisville Cardinals at the time, going up against Clark\u2019s Iowa Hawkeyes in the Elite 8 of the NCAA March Madness.<\/p>\n<p>Hailey Van Lith had a respectable 27-point outing. However, Clark completely dominated the duel with a monstrous 41-point, 10-rebound, and 12-assist triple-double, leading to a 97-83 win.<\/p>\n<p>Their second meeting occurred almost a year later at the same stage of the 2024 NCAA Tournament. This time, Van Lith was representing the LSU Tigers and finished the contest with an underwhelming 9-point performance. Clark contributed with 41 points and 12 assists in the Hawkeyes\u2019 94-87 victory.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Hailey Van Lith opens up about her mid-game interaction with Caitlin Clark<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>At one point in the 2024 March Madness Elite 8 clash between the Iowa Hawkeyes and the LSU Tigers, Caitlin Clark was replicating WWE superstar John Cena\u2019s famous \u201cYou Can\u2019t See Me\u201d gesture. Due to camera angles, it appeared as though Clark was taunting Hailey Van Lith, giving rise to media headlines and creating a rivalry between the two players\u2019 fan bases.<\/p>\n<p>However, Van Lith clarified that there was no animosity between the two by revealing details of their text message.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>&#8220;Right after the game, I texted her, and I was like, &#8216;The media is dumb. I&#8217;m sorry. They just make stuff up, and then they just put it all over the internet, and everyone thinks it&#8217;s true&#8217;. We were laughing about it because she did it to her strength coach. She didn&#8217;t do it to anyone on our team, especially me\u2026 It&#8217;s just funny how camera angles and perceptions are skewed,\u201d <\/em>Van Lith revealed in an interview with Bleacher Report.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>In the upcoming WNBA regular season, the Sky will face the Fever on five different occasions. It is safe to assume that each interaction between the two will be overanalyzed on social media.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-post-rating-widget\">\n<p><template id=\"post-rating-feedback-modal-template\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"post-rating-feedback-feedback-box\">\n<div class=\"post-rating-feedback-content\">\n<div class=\"post-rating-feedback-data\">\n<p>Why did you not like this content?<\/p>\n<p><textarea id=\"dislike-feedback-text\" rows=\"4\" placeholder=\"Please type your feedback...\"\/>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n<button class=\"close\">Cancel<\/button><br \/>\n<button class=\"submit\">Submit<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/template><\/p>\n<div class=\"post-rating-widget-parent hidden\">\n<div class=\"rating-parent-container\">\n<div class=\"rating-content-holder\">\n<p>Was this article helpful?<\/p>\n<div class=\"post-rating-action-container\">\n<div class=\"like-container\">\n<button class=\"post-rating-like-button post-rating-button\" data-action=\"like\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"post-like-image post-rating-image\" src=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/like-articles\/upvote-icon-grey.svg\" height=\"20\" width=\"20\" alt=\"like selected\"\/><br \/>\n<\/button>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"dislike-container\">\n<button class=\"post-rating-dislike-button post-rating-button\" data-action=\"dislike\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"post-dis-like-image post-rating-image\" src=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/like-articles\/upvote-icon-grey.svg\" height=\"20\" width=\"20\" alt=\"avatar selected\"\/><br \/>\n<\/button>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\nThank You for feedback\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"post-author-info-parent\">\n<span class=\"about-the-author\">About the author<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"author-info-holder\">\n<div class=\"author-pic-holder\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"author-pic\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,&lt;svg width=\" height=\"100\"\/><rect width=\"100\" height=\"100\" style=\"fill:rgb(128, 128, 128);\"\/>&#8221; data-lazy=&#8221;https:\/\/keedag.sportskeeda.com\/user-pic\/4977288-1738121275-200.jpg?w=200&#8243;<br \/>\nalt=&#8221;Advait Jajodia&#8221; height=&#8221;72&#8243; width=&#8221;72&#8243;&gt;\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"author-bio-detail-holder\">\n<div class=\"author-bio\">\n<p class=\"author-bio\" id=\"author-bio-text\">\nAdvait Jajodia is an NBA and WNBA journalist at Sportskeeda with over four years of experience in the field with The SportsRush. <\/p>\n<p>Advait has a love of basketball that stems from playing the game, and has represented Mumbai North at the Inter-District State Championship and Maharashtra at the ASISC National Games.<\/p>\n<p>His favorite team is the New Orleans Pelicans, although Advait also has an affinity for the Golden State Warriors and San Antonio Spurs.
