Charles Barkley describes Angel Reese, Caitlin Clark controversy in a single word.

The game also set a record for the highest viewership ever for an NCAA women's basketball game on ESPN.

However, Charles Barkley expressed his disappointment that the taunts overshadowed such a historic game and vibrant event.

According to Barkley, "I felt that it detracted from the game. To be fair, Caitlin had done it in the previous game. However, I believe that it drew too much focus away from an outstanding performance."

In the championship victory, Reese recorded a double-double.

Reese established an NCAA record by achieving 34 double-doubles throughout the season.

Barkley's argument was that the on-court feud drew more attention than the historic season itself.
