I just read that they gave the NCAA WBB Tournament MVP to Reese.  WTF?  Clark broke all records in this tourney and was the high scorer in the finals.  Wow!

Clark would have been a lock if Iowa had won.  Here's the history of NCAA women's DI MOP's:

• 1982 – Janice Lawrence, Louisiana Tech
  
• 1983 – Cheryl Miller, Southern California
  
• 1984 – Cheryl Miller, Southern California
  
• 1985 – Tracy Claxton, Old Dominion
  
• 1986 – Clarissa Davis, Texas
  
• 1987 – Tonya Edwards, Tennessee
  
• 1988 – Erica Westbrooks, Louisiana Tech
  
• 1989 – Bridgette Gordon, Tennessee
  
• 1990 – Jennifer Azzi, Stanford
  
• 1991 – Dawn Staley, Virginia*
  
• 1992 – Molly Goodenbour, Stanford
  
• 1993 – Sheryl Swoopes, Texas Tech
  
• 1994 – Charlotte Smith, North Carolina
  
• 1995 – Rebecca Lobo, Connecticut
  
• 1996 – Michelle M. Marciniak, Tennessee
  
• 1997 – Chamique Holdsclaw, Tennessee
  
• 1998 – Chamique Holdsclaw, Tennessee
  
• 1999 – Ukari Figgs, Purdue
  
• 2000 – Shea Ralph, Connecticut
  
• 2001 – Ruth Riley, Notre Dame
  
• 2002 – Swin Cash, Connecticut
  
• 2003 – Diana Taurasi, Connecticut
  
• 2004 – Diana Taurasi, Connecticut
  
• 2005 – Sophia Young, Baylor
  
• 2006 – Laura Harper, Maryland
  
• 2007 – Candace Parker, Tennessee
  
• 2008 – Candace Parker, Tennessee
  
• 2009 – Tina Charles, Connecticut
  
• 2010 – Maya Moore, Connecticut
  
• 2011 – Danielle Adams, Texas A&M
  
• 2012 – Brittney Griner, Baylor
  
• 2013 – Breanna Stewart, Connecticut
  
• 2014 – Breanna Stewart, Connecticut
  
• 2015 – Breanna Stewart, Connecticut
  
• 2016 – Breanna Stewart, Connecticut
  
• 2017 – A'ja Wilson, South Carolina
  
• 2018 – Arike Ogunbowale, Notre Dame
  
• 2019 – Chloe Jackson, Baylor
  
• 2020 – None[c]
  
• 2021 – Haley Jones, Stanford
  
• 2022 – Aliyah Boston, South Carolina
  
• 2023 – Angel Reese, LSU
  

An asterisk (*) next to a player's name indicates they did not play for the championship team.  So, in 42 years of women's Division I Most Outstanding Players, exactly 1 (Dawn Staley, 32 years ago) did not come from the championship team.  For better or worse "Most Outstanding Player" is almost synonymous with "Best player on the championship team"
