Iowa and LSU women battle for a spot in the Final Four
Two of the biggest names in women’s basketball will meet up Monday night with a trip to the Final Four on the line.
This year’s matchup between Iowa’s Caitlin Clark and LSU’s Angel Reese comes earlier in the tournament than last year, when they faced off for the national championship.
LSU won that one, and Clark has had her eye on the title ever since in her record-breaking senior year.
If Iowa loses, it will be all-star Clark’s last game as a collegiate athlete before she enters the WNBA draft.

The winner will play either the USC Trojans or the Connecticut Huskies. That game starts at 9 p.m. ET Monday.
The No. 3-seed Huskies are narrowly expected to claim the last spot in the Final Four, with Action Network putting them as three-point favorites over No. 1 seed USC.
Undefeated No. 1 seed South Carolina and No. 3 seed North Carolina State already claimed their tickets to the semifinal round Sunday, and they will face off Friday at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse in Cleveland.
The women’s NCAA championship game will be at 7 p.m. Sunday, also at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse, and it will feature the winners of each Final Four matchup.
