Iowa and Caitlin Clark will face unbeaten South Carolina for the NCAA championship on Sunday on ABC 7.
Sunday, April 7, 2024 12:48AMStream New York's #1 news - Accuweather - original content 24/7The superstar's career at Iowa, a four-year journey in which she inspired thousands of girls and boys, turned casual fans passionate and helped transform the women's game, will finish on Sunday in the NCAA championship game.
For the second straight year, Clark and the Hawkeyes stand between the Gamecocks and perfection. A year ago in the Final Four, South Carolina carried a 36-0 record into its matchup with Iowa before Clark dropped 41 points on the Gamecocks in a 77-73 win. All you had to do was see the 11,000 fans who attended open practices at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse on Saturday to see how much the game has grown - and how much Clark has meant to it.
It won't be nearly as easy against South Carolina. Gamecocks coach Dawn Staley, who is seeking her third national title since 2017, and her staff will try to design a game plan to stop the game's best outside shooter.Staley also appreciates what this game - in this season - means for her sport. The perfect player vs. the perfect team. A perfect ending.
While Clark's legacy seems unassailable, some feel she can't be mentioned among the game's best without winning a championship. She's not about to get caught up in any kind of debate on the subject.
