Caitlin Clark’s impressive performance of 41 points and 12 assists led the No. 1 seed Iowa Hawkeyes to a victory over the No. 3 seed LSU Tigers, securing their spot in the Final Four with a score of 94-87. This win was a redemption of sorts, as it came in a rematch of the 2023 national championship game which the Tigers had won previously. Clark’s nine 3-pointers in the game tied the record for the most by a player in a women’s NCAA tournament game, according to ESPN Stats & Information.
The reaction to the game was overwhelming, with stars like Caleb Williams, Travis Scott, Chris Jones, Lil Durk, Marlon Humphrey, Calvin Ridley, Deebo, Josh Hart, and Patrick Beverley all taking to social media to praise Caitlin Clark’s exceptional performance and undeniable talent on the court.
Clark expressed her determination to continue her success in the tournament and make history for Iowa women’s basketball. The team fought through tough competition in a loaded region to earn this milestone achievement and secure back-to-back appearances in the Final Four for the first time ever.
LSU star Angel Reese had a standout performance with 17 points and 20 rebounds, the second player in history to achieve at least 20 rebounds in a regional final.
