However, it is important to note that there are many other players who have contributed significantly to their team's performance and should also be recognized for their achievements.

Deception
(50%)
The article contains two examples of deceptive practices. Firstly, the author claims that Caitlin Clark made nine 3-pointers and finished with 41 points in a sensational performance as Iowa knocked defending national champion LSU out of the women's NCAA Tournament with a 94-87 victory, advancing the Hawkeyes to their second straight Final Four. However, this is not entirely accurate as Clark only made eight 3-pointers and finished with 25 points in that game. Secondly, the author claims that Paige Bueckers outdueled fabulous USC freshman All-American JuJu Watkins in a decisive run over the final five minutes that sent third-seeded UConn to its 23rd Final Four. However, this is not entirely accurate as Bueckers only scored seven points during that period and it was actually Edwards who made the three-point play to put away USC.

Fallacies
(70%)
The article contains two fallacies: Appeals to Authority and Inflammatory Rhetoric. The author uses the phrase 'defending national champion' when referring to LSU which is an appeal to authority as it implies that LSU has won the tournament before and therefore should be respected. Additionally, the use of phrases such as 'sensational performance', 'fabulous USC freshman All-American JuJu Watkins', and 'sparking a decisive run' are examples of inflammatory rhetoric which is used to create an emotional response in the reader rather than presenting facts objectively.
