South Carolina came into Friday’s Final Four matchup against Iowa with a national championship resume: 42 straight wins, three-time Naismith Coach of the Year Dawn Staley, 2022 Naismith Player of the Year Aliyah Boston and what’s widely considered the nation’s best defense. What the Gamecocks didn’t have is Caitlin Clark, and that made all the difference.
Clark recorded 41 points, eight assists and six rebounds to lead Iowa to a 77-73 upset over the defending champions.
An adage as old as time in sports is it isn’t how you start, but how you finish — and that’s how LSU punched its ticket to the 2023 national championship. The No. 3 seed Tigers rallied back from a nine-point fourth-quarter deficit to top No. 1 seed Virginia Tech, 79-72, a result Angel Reese and Alexis Morris had their hands all over.
