Overview

• During Wednesday’s Jeopardy! episode, contestant Rahul incorrectly buzzed in “Who is Caitlin Clark?” for a clue that clearly described and pictured Paige Bueckers.
• The clue referenced Bueckers’ 2025 national championship at UConn and her selection as last year’s No. 1 overall WNBA draft pick.
• Bueckers has criticized comparisons to Clark as media-driven narratives and says she remains focused on improving her own game and her team’s performance.
• Fans on X have seized on moments like Bueckers’ missed 26-foot three-point attempt against Phoenix to mock parallels with Clark’s high-volume shooting style.
• Through their first nine games, Clark and Bueckers averaged nearly identical scoring (17.7 vs. 17.6 points) while Clark led in assists and Bueckers excelled in steals.
