Caitlin Clark Fans SEND LOUD MESSAGE! EMPTY Seats, $12 Tickets! Fever Lack of Depth EXPOSED!

You're tuning into

Black and White Sports on YouTube. The

no holds barred truth on sports. The

main event starts. All right, black and

white sports supporters. Well, let's

talk about this game, which technically

is not over yet, but

close enough for government work. Uh

there's several stories coming out of

this game.

Most notably

two key things that was noticed very

early on. I was moderating the Ben

Daniels podcast watch party for this

game. We do one every Fever game.

Ben Daniels the host. I moderate it and

a lot of times CS Sports Podcast is in

there as well. It's a great atmosphere.

Uh, sorry, Scott Agnes, but it's full of

everybody that's part of the darkness.

Yeah. Yeah. So, anyway, we're all

watching the game, and as we're watching

the game, there's about five minutes

left in the second quarter, and all of a

sudden,

there's an overhead shot of this game,

and you could already see there were a

ton

of empty seats in this place. a ton.

And my goodness, this overhead shot,

uh, literally the the the account that

put this out, tons of empty seats. And

this was prealime.

Correct. There was about five minutes

left before the half when this shot came

up. And it led me I there were so many

empty seats I actually went over and had

pulled up the following graphic that I'm

going to put up in front of you which is

that is the layout from ticketmaster.

Everything in the blue had tickets

available for this game.

And also this other little lovely

graphic that you're seeing,

12 and $13 tickets for this game.

12 and $13 tickets for this game.

Now tell me again, everything's cool in

the Indiana Fever fandom, right?

Is that what we're trying to say?

because no, it does not look that way.

And even though this game obviously

against Nigeria was a blowout,

in a lot of ways

it proved some people right. The Fever

scored 15 points to Nigeria's 12 in the

third quarter. The depth is a problem on

this team.

Let's just go over here. Box score. Look

at this folks.

15- 12, 18-6.

Nigeria has played

the back end of the fever roster. We're

talking about Hines Allen and Dantis

being on the court, Raven Johnson being

on the court, Michaela Timson being on

the court, and Nigeria has played us

damn near even in the second half.

Damn near even.

Where we been? What have we been

preaching?

Depth,

length,

size,

and you're playing Nigeria.

I mean, if it wasn't for the starters,

it would be ass pucker time watching

this.

This team is not deep enough. This fever

team is not deep enough. as currently

constituted. Sorry, not sorry.

So, some key takeaways here. Caitlyn

Clark continue to look good from the

field. 12 minutes, three of four, two of

three from three-point range, four of

four from free throws, four assist, 12

points. Kelsey hit some shots tonight.

17 points. 6 and nine from the field.

Three of three from three-point range.

Sophie, eight points, three or four from

the field, one of two from three-point

range. So, and Aaliyah Boston was back,

played 10 minutes, four points, had six

assists in this game and one rebound

and one rebound. But there were times

even when the starters were in, I was

like, "Yikes, I don't even like the

length of this club against

with our ones right now." I I didn't I

didn't love it.

You know, this this was a little too

close in the first to be honest with

you. And all the starters were playing.

It wasn't until the second quarter that

we pulled away and then it was damn it

damn near even in the second half. The

depth I mean you get from you know

players 6 7 8 9 10. Boy, this is going

to get interesting against good teams in

this league. Going to get interesting.

Sophie Cunningham a plus 34 and Caitlin

Clark is a plus 32 in this game.

Correct. Kaitlin Clark way downtown.

Let's check it.

>> She just gonna look like she got poked

>> right here.

Way downtown. Boom.

Knocking it down. I will say this, last

two games, Caitlyn Clark looks like she

gotten her shot back.

>> Looks like she's gotten her shot back,

and that's a good thing. How about this

little mid-range action? Turn around.

Boom. Knocked it down. I loved it. Loved

it.

I loved it. How about right here? Little

little little

uh Let me just bring this up. Yeah,

Caitlyn Clark to Sophie action.

Look at that pass. That's nice.

That's nice. Sophie cutting to the

basket. Caitlyn passing the ball in.

Good stuff.

Good stuff. But

boy, I got to tell you.

Woo! We

couple things pretty evident tonight, I

would say, during this game.

Lack of depth. And clearly,

look, before everybody starts saying,

"Oh, but that was right before halftime,

blah, blah, blah."

Listen, I know some of you are going to

try to support this. Like, I mean,

that's great, but I mean, I'm supporting

the team and trying to, but that doesn't

mean fans aren't right.

That doesn't mean fans aren't right. And

I can tell you there were a lot of empty

seats when this game started and you

could see it. They were visible on the

screen the whole game. By the way, never

mind. We didn't need a playbyplay in the

third quarter.

as as we just lost the playby-play guys

in the third in the third quarter of

this game. I mean, some people might

consider that a plus actually.

I got to tell you though, the feed on

Amazon Prime outside of losing the

announcers, the clarity was real good.

So, there's that crisp picture. Ju just

just just

no audio outside of the 2,000 fans that

were screaming.

Wow.

H

I got to tell you,

guys, I think this season is going to

surprise a lot of people and maybe not

in such a great way.

at all. Maybe they'll surprise me. Maybe

they'll surprise a lot of us, but

clearly fans are not happy with the

direction of the franchise and they're

not happy with what happened last year

and they are showing it.

Empty seats, 12 and $13 tickets

available. Guys, that was not happening

in the past. Tell me what you think.

Peace. I'm out. Till next time.
