Caitlin Clark's Defense Deserves CREDIT + Why Team USA NEEDED Chelsea Gray

In this episode of Girls Tripp, Caitlin Clark's defense deserves more credit, and Ryan Ruocco makes the case that Angel Reese has become underrated. Allie Clifton, Jordan Robinson and Ryan Ruocco break down Team USA's fifth straight World Cup gold, why Clark and Chelsea Gray were both essential, Breanna Stewart's “I'm built for this” mentality, Jackie Young's timely buckets and Kara Lawson's leadership. Then Ryan Ruocco travels around the W: Jordan wants Indiana versus Atlanta, Ryan wants New York versus Las Vegas, and the crew explains the stakes of those potential first-round matchups. Ryan also weighs Cathy Engelbert's business legacy ahead of her year-end retirement.
