Van Lith cost us the game, but not because she couldn't guard Clark. She scored 9 points, had 1 rebound, 1 assist, 2 turnovers while shooting 20% from the floor. She was awful. I'm not trying to be hard on her, but she was a complete non-factor in the biggest game of the year.
She was a non-factor during the whole tournament and you are being hard on her because she was already struggling with her game, but now she's asked to guard Caitlin Clark. She's what - 5'7 and Clark is 6 feet, and Clark is always in motion to get the ball. There's no way in hell Van Lith was gonna stop her, and she's exhausting herself in the process which takes a toll on her game even more. It was just a bad decision by Mulkey and co. to have her guard Clark.

And HVL went into the game sick, and we have no idea for how much of the playoffs she was sick. If you have to take an IV feed right before the game, which she did, it isn't going to kick in right away. Maybe they is why Kim benched her early.

And if she was that sick it might explain why she was slow on defense and her shots weren't falling. But she showed heart and gave the game everything she had. If kim had thought she had a better option, I'm sure she would have gone to it.
