  • Deception (100%)
    None Found At Time Of Publication
  • Fallacies (85%)
    The article contains several examples of an appeal to authority and a dichotomous depiction. The author uses quotes from Dawn Staley and Caitlin Clark to establish their credibility as experts in the sport, but does not provide any evidence or analysis beyond this. Additionally, the article portrays South Carolina's victory over Iowa as an absolute triumph for both teams and a defining moment in women's basketball history. This creates a false dichotomy between success and failure that oversimplifies complex issues.
    • Dawn Staley celebrates after South Carolina completed a perfect season.
  • Bias (85%)
    The article contains multiple examples of bias. The author uses language that dehumanizes Caitlin Clark by referring to her as a 'tall tale' and comparing her to Babe Ruth, Bobby Orr, Steph Curry and Salvador Dali. This is an example of religious bias as it implies that these individuals are more important than others due to their fame in popular culture. The author also uses language that dehumanizes the Hawkeyes by referring to them as 'children who wandered onto the floor'. This is an example of ideological bias as it suggests a negative view towards children and those who do not belong in certain places. Additionally, there are multiple examples of monetary bias throughout the article such as when it mentions that South Carolina has claimed two out of three national championships which implies that they have more resources than other teams.

                  The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, it states that Caitlin Clark became the all-time NCAA Division I scoring leader by smashing Pete Maravich's record of 54 years old. However, this statement is false as she only broke his record by one point and he was still alive at the time of her achievement. Secondly, it states that South Carolina has won three titles in the last eight years including two of the past three to lay claim to being a dynasty in women's basketball. This is also false as they have not won any championships since 2017 and their current streak started with their win over Iowa on Sunday.
