Sophie Cunningham has essentially become a fan favorite, as everyone could see that she was taking up for what happened to Caitlin Clark earlier in the game. As a result of her actions, her followers on social media have exploded. On TikTok, Cunningham’s followers went from over 300,000 to 624,000.
