Caitlin Clark and Aliyah Boston have formed a formidable partnership for the Indiana Fever. However, not many would have predicted them to develop such excellent chemistry on and off the court when the Fever selected Clark with the No. 1 pick in the 2024 WNBA draft.Clark and Boston played on rival teams in the NCAA. Clark happened to end Boston's college career in heartbreak after leading Iowa to a phenomenal 77-73 win over the Gamecocks in the final four. Clark dropped 41 points, along with six rebounds and eight assists.South Carolina was in the midst of a perfect season, a run that was snapped by an extraordinary effort from Boston's future Fever teammate. When the Fever won the lottery and picked Clark, it meant they had to put aside any rivalry.Boston, who is on a three-year, $233,468 contract, explained how she first reacted to Clark's arrival in the league."I think it's always weird when you're used to competing against someone and it feels crazy," she said on Sue Bird's podcast on Friday. "That year ... we [Caitlin and me] were like doing something, I was like, 'Hey, I just wanna say, I'm like really upset that you did what you did in that final four game.' I was like, 'I need to get it off my chest.'"Clark's 40-point effort stung Boston because of how special that season was for the Gamecocks. Caitlin Clark's final four blitz against Aliyah Boston and Co. had Gamecocks HC Dawn Staley questioning godCaitlin Clark separated herself from the competition in college. She helped what many considered to be a mediocre team rise to the top of the NCAA. It was almost a given that the Gamecocks would steamroll past Iowa in their 2023 final four clash, but Clark almost single-handedly dumped them out.Her exploits had legendary Gamecocks coach Dawn Staley questioning god after that loss. Here's what Staley said on Van Lathen Jr.'s podcast in June:"We had a great team," Staley said. " They did all the right things. Great people, great competitors. So, I wanted them to win. I wanted them to go off, you know, with a bang. And when that didn't happen, they were hurt, and that hurt me to my core."Then it hurt me enough to didn't think there was no god. But I then questioned, 'Hey why? I need to know why.'"Iowa made its first finals appearance that season, but fell to the LSU Tigers. The following year, Dawn Staley and the Gamecocks exacted revenge against Caitlin Clark's Iowa in the championship game with an 87-75 win. The Fever guard ended her college career without a national title.
