      Hawks fired up after West Virginia coach’s comment

      • Accuracy
        • Iowa defeated West Virginia 64-54 in the second round of the NCAA women's basketball tournament.
      • Deception (30%)
        The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the author quotes West Virginia coach Mark Kellogg saying that they should send Caitlin Clark packing which implies that he wants to see her out of the tournament. However, this statement was taken out of context and does not reflect his true intentions. Secondly, Coach Bluder's response is misleading as she claims that sending one player home would isolate the rest of the team when in fact it wouldn't have any impact on their performance. Lastly, West Virginia Center Kylee Blackstone states that they don't have anything to lose which contradicts Kellogg and Bluder's statements.

        The article contains an appeal to authority fallacy when West Virginia coach Mark Kellogg says that there was no intent on disrespect. This statement is not supported by any evidence and should be taken with a grain of salt.

      • Bias (75%)
        The author of the article is Scott Saville and he has a clear bias towards Iowa Hawkeyes. He uses quotes from Coach Lisa Bluder to support his claim that West Virginia coach Mark Kellogg's comment was disrespectful to the rest of the team. The author also includes quotes from Sidney Affolter, who agrees with Coach Bluder and says that it is disrespectful. However, he then quotes West Virginia Center Kylee Blackstone saying that there was no intent on disrespect and they were just trying to give motivation to push through the first one. This contradicts the previous statement made by Coach Bluder and Affolter, which creates a bias towards Iowa Hawkeyes.

        • Deception (50%)
          The article is deceptive because it does not provide any sources for the claims made by The Associated Press. It also uses emotional manipulation and sensationalism to describe Caitlin Clark's performance and Iowa's victory over West Virginia. For example, it says that Clark 'scored 32 points', which is a factual statement but does not convey the difficulty or importance of her scoring. It also implies that Iowa was in danger of losing the game by saying they had one of their worst offensive performances and were held to their lowest single-game point total this season. These statements are meant to exaggerate Clark's achievements and downplay West Virginia's competitiveness, which is deceptive to the reader.
          • The article uses sensationalism by calling Iowa's victory 'survives', which suggests that West Virginia posed a greater threat than they did. It also says that the game was decided by 'free throws', as if this was a lucky or unexpected outcome.
          • The article does not disclose any sources for its claims or quotes. It only attributes them to The Associated Press without providing any evidence or context.
          • The article uses emotional manipulation by saying that Clark 'circled the court', making a heart-shaped symbol with her hands, as if this was an endearing or meaningful gesture. This is deceptive because it implies that Clark's actions were more significant and expressive than they actually were.
        • Fallacies (75%)
          The article contains several logical fallacies. The author uses an appeal to authority by stating that Caitlin Clark became the NCAA's Division I all-time scoring leader this season without providing any evidence or context for this claim. Additionally, the author uses inflammatory rhetoric when describing West Virginia's 10-0 run in the fourth quarter as a
          • Caitlin Clark became the NCAA's Division I all-time scoring leader this season.
          • The Hawkeyes were held to their lowest single-game point total this season.
        • Bias (75%)
          The article contains multiple examples of religious bias. The author uses the phrase 'the final home game of her career' to describe Caitlin Clark, which implies that she is a woman and therefore likely Catholic. This is an example of gender stereotyping and reinforces harmful cultural norms around women in sports.
          • Caitlin Clark scored 32 points
            • Clark circled the court, making a heart-shaped symbol with her hands as the sellout crowd cheered.
