Many fans will be surprised by the former NCAA champion’s claims. But the player was referring to the 2023 NCAA final four game, where the Iowa player scored 41 points and knocked out the undefeated South Carolina team
“I was like, hey, I just want to say, I’m like really upset that you did what you did in that Final Four game. Because we are teammates, but I’m like, you didn’t have to do all that. Like you did not have to go for 40 on our dome. Like girl, we could have just had fun,” Boston said.
“But after that, it was cool because obviously now we’re on the same team, so you don’t worry about that. But I always thought it was funny because I’m like, we just went from competing against each other, you beating us, and now we’re on the same team. It’s like, I was like, girl, it’s OK. I get it. I’m not mad at you for real, but I am,” she concluded on her relationship with CC.
