Caitlin Clark has taken the college basketball world by storm. The sharp shooting guard has shattered numerous records and is the all-time leading scorer in NCAA Division I among women and men.

Clark's accomplishments have helped bring unprecedented attention to the game, and virtually everyone in the sports world has an opinion on the presumptive top overall selection in the upcoming WNBA Draft.

Longtime ESPN host Molly Qerim shared her thoughts on Clark during a recent edition of "First Take," suggesting Iowa's favorable odds heading into its Final Four matchup with UConn were a product of the Huskies' injury woes.
