According to Fox Sports, Caitlin Clark expressed, "The emotions will probably hit me over the next couple of days." "I don’t have much time to sit around and sulk and be upset. I don’t think that’s what I’m about either. Yeah, I’m sad we lost this game, but I’m also so proud of myself, I’m so proud of my teammates, I’m so proud of this program. There’s a lot to be proud of."

Meanwhile, Dawn Staley head coach of South Carolina lauded Caitlin Clark for her contribution towards the game. As per Fox Sports Dawn Staley stated, "I want to personally thank Caitlin Clark for lifting our sport." "She carried a heavy load for our sport, and it is not going to stop here on a collegiate tour. When she’s the No. 1 pick in the WNBA Draft, she’s going to lift that league as well." "So, Caitlin Clark, if you’re out there, you are one of the GOATs (greatest of all time) of our game, and we appreciate you."
