  • Deception (50%)
    The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the author claims that Caitlin Clark scored 24 points on her way to a triple-double when she actually only scored 15 rebounds and had no assists. This misrepresents what constitutes a triple-double and makes it seem like Clark is more impressive than she really is. Secondly, the author quotes Illinois coach Shauna Green saying that Iowa hit 17 threes from their inside-out action when in fact they only made 5 of those threes from beyond the arc. This misrepresents what constitutes an 'inside-out' game and makes it seem like Iowa is more impressive than they really are. Lastly, the author quotes Illinois coach Shauna Green saying that there was nothing unusual about what Iowa was doing when in fact this contradicts Bluder's statement that they were on spin cycle the entire game.

  • Fallacies (85%)

  • Bias (85%)
    The article contains a statement that implies the author has an ideological bias. The sentence says 'Iowa coach Lisa Bluder said of the triple-double.' This suggests that Bluder is praising Clark's performance and therefore may have a positive view of her as an athlete, which could be seen as biased.
    • Iowa coach Lisa Bluder said of the triple-number: 'That’s amazing,' Iowa coach Lisa Bluder said. 'But I just loved that other people stepped up tonight and took responsibility.'
      • The article mentions that Clark had 15 rebounds, which is a positive attribute for her performance.

          • Deception (50%)
            The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the author claims that Iowa's offense was balanced and everyone contributed to their scoring. However, this is not entirely true as Clark scored more than any other player with 24 points.
            • Despite Iowa holding a 12-point lead after the first quarter, Iowa never really extended the lead, but never allowed Illinois to come back within double-digits. <br> This is an example of deceptive reporting as it implies that everyone on the team was contributing equally, but Clark scored more than any other player.
            • > The Hawkeyes broke things open in the first quarter when Kylie Feuerbach converted two three-pointers in 33 seconds to push Iowa's lead to a commanding 24-10. <br> This is an example of deceptive reporting as it implies that everyone on the team was contributing equally, but Clark scored more than any other player.
            • The Fighting Illini would cut Iowa's lead down to 11 early in the third quarter, but that's when Clark got her three-point game going. She would hit back-to-back threes to juice up the Carver-Hawkeye faithful and get her confidence back. <br> This is an example of deceptive reporting as it implies that everyone on the team was contributing equally, but Clark scored more than any other player.
          • Fallacies (85%)
            The article contains several logical fallacies. The author uses an appeal to authority by stating that the Fighting Illini ran into a Hawkeye balanced scoring attack without providing any evidence or context for this claim. Additionally, the author uses inflammatory rhetoric when describing Illinois' performance as 'struggling' and 'cutting Iowa’s lead down to 11 early in the third quarter', which is not supported by objective data. The article also contains a dichotomous depiction of Illinois' offense as being weak, while their defense is described as strong.
            • The Fighting Illini ran into a Hawkeye balanced scoring attack
            • struggling and 'cutting Iowa’s lead down to 11 early in the third quarter'
            • Iowa converted 8-of-18 from three-point range while Illinois only made one of their five attempts
          • Bias (80%)
            The article is biased towards the Iowa Hawkeyes. The author uses language that dehumanizes Illinois and praises Iowa's players. For example, the author describes Illinois as 'battling back with a 6-0 run of its own before Clark drilled a three to slow the momentum.' This implies that Illinois is not capable of playing well and only succeeding through luck or chance. The author also uses language like 'Iowa's offense didn't slow down,' which suggests that Iowa was superior in every way, while ignoring any mistakes they made. Additionally, the article highlights specific players on the Iowa team as stars and provides statistics for their performance, but does not do this for Illinois.
