USC and UConn are already underway. It’ll tough to top what we just saw, but JuJu Watkins and Paige Bueckers should make it worth your while to stay in front of your TV a bit longer.
After that, we’ll have one of the most compelling Final Fours imaginable. Women’s basketball is having a moment, to be sure. And it’s hard to argue with that.
Thanks for following along with me tonight, and have a lovely April.
FINAL: Iowa 94, LSU 87
If you haven’t yet jumped on the Caitlin Clark bandwagon, you’ve missed out. She’s the most exciting player in basketball right now. Not women’s basketball. Not college basketball. Any basketball.
LSU didn’t give up its crown without a fight. Angel Reese dominated much of the first half. Flau’Jae Johnson battled for 23 points. But Clark was even better than usual, answering the call in this titanic matchup.
All we need to know now is whether this game will break some ratings records.
Well, that, and the remaining games in this tournament. This only got Iowa to the Final Four. USC and UConn are next. And we still may have a USC-USC matchup (Southern California vs. unbeaten South Carolina).
