    The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the title of the article suggests that Caitlin Clark will set a new record for career scoring points on this day. However, it turns out that she was held scoreless over the final 12 minutes and missed her last six shots including a 3 just ahead of the buzzer.
    • Jaz Shelley's 3-pointer with 30 seconds left gave Nebraska its first lead, and he made all four of his free throws to close out the Hawkeyes. This is presented as if it was an amazing feat when in fact it was a result of Iowa being down by 14 points at that point.

Thirdly, the author uses language such as 'emotional accessibility and intensity' to make it seem like Clark is an emotional player when in reality, she has rarely shown any emotion during games. Finally, the article presents Clark as a fiery competitor who relishes trash talk and confrontations with officials when there are no mentions of her being aggressive or unsportsmanlike.
