The rivalry appears to have arisen after the two had a fierce battle in last year’s women’s championship game. During that time, Reese gave Clark a ring finger signal and John Cena made the “You can’t see me” gesture as LSU. He fought for his first national title.
However, both Rees and Clark insisted there was no “rivalry”.
In a video shared by Rapinoe, Reese continued to put it aside when it came to her opponent, explaining that she was not particularly competitive against Clark.

“Me and Caitlin Clark don’t hate each other, and I want everyone to understand that. It’s just a super competitive game,” Reese said. “Once you get between those lines, you won’t have any friends. I’m going to talk trash to you. I’m going to do whatever it takes to get in your head the whole game, but… Kick when the game is over. I don’t think people really realize that.
“That’s fine. I’ll play the villain. I’ll take it with a grain of salt, but I know we’re growing women’s basketball. If this is how we’re going to do it, this is how we’re going to do it.” It’s the way it’s going to be done. You either like it or you don’t.”
Reese and Clark will compete for a spot in the Final Four on Monday at 7:15 p.m.
