Remember that viral moment when Caitlin Clark read out, “What’s one snack Caitlin Clark always has on the road?” and Kelsey Mitchell instantly deadpanned: “Cheez-It”? Well, fans are now convinced Clark isn’t hitting the road, so neither are the Cheez-Its. The Midwest’s Fever are heading further east to face the Connecticut Sun. The squad looked all set with their handbags swinging while boarding the bus, but there was no sign of the Indy star.
Moreover, Sophie Cunningham’s honesty after losing to the Mystics isn’t exactly giving the fanbase reason to hold their breath either. “We’ve had some hard injuries this year. We’ve had some different lineups and roster spots, and to be frank, I don’t think anyone else around the league thinks that we can do it anymore,” she admitted. “But I think our group does. We just have to get that confidence back. When we’re clicking offensively, defensively, we’re scary. Not a lot of teams can beat us, even with the roster we have right now. So for us, it’s just remembering who we are, our identity. We have to get back to being dogs and being aggressive, and not allowing teams like this to come in here and outwork us,” she said.
The translation is that Cunningham is laser-focused on grinding with the pieces they have, not waiting for a certain No. 1 draft pick to swoop in and rescue the season. And fans (who were already pointing out how rough the team has looked without Caitlin Clark) aren’t exactly feeling reassured.
