"Needed better competition": Lexie Hull mercilessly trolls Caitlin Clark after dominating Fever superstar in cup tic-tac-toe 

Caitlin Clark might be one of the best 3-point shooters of all time, but her accuracy was no good in her battle with Lexie Hull during a flip cup tic-tac-toe contest. The uber-competitive Clark stood no chance against her Indiana Fever teammate, who won the best-of-three contest 2-1.

She even gave Clark time to prepare her cups for the playing field, but it didn't matter. Here's the clip:

Clark began with great confidence, claiming that she was "sure" of a win. However, once the game started, it was predictable which way the contest was going. Clark also admitted she "wasn't good" at the game as she thought initially. Hull gave Clark the red colored cups in the second round and extra time, leading to her win in that round.

However, once Hull locked in during the third round again, the contest was over without Clark being able to get a cup lined by itself in one of the boxes.

After the Indiana Fever dropped the video on social media, Caitlin Clark and Lexie Hull dropped comical reactions to their battle. Hull mercilessly trolled her Fever co-star, saying:

"I needed better competition"

Clark admitted:

"Not my best showing"
