South Carolina beats Iowa 87-75 in the 2024 NCAA Women's Basketball Tournament National Championship, finishing off their 10th undefeated season in women's college basketball history.

Caitlin Clark of the Iowa Hawkeyes shares a moment with a South Carolina player after losing Gamecocks in the 2024 NCAA Women's Basketball Tournament National Championship at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse on April 07, 2024 in Cleveland , Ohio . South Carolina beat Iowa 87-75.

The last time a national-championship coach was so effusive, by name, about the other team’s star so soon after the buzzer? I’m going to go with never. Iowa-UConn beat a women's college viewership record set just days earlier, when Iowa’s win over LSU in the Elite Eight drew an audience of 12.3 million. This Iowa-South Carolina audience could be even higher.

The Gamecocks will be remembered as outstanding champions. Clark leaves college without a title, having lost in the championship game these past two seasons. South Carolina forced her into 10 for 28 shooting. She finished with 30 points. Every shot seemed to be contested. The ones Clark did hit—the near-logo shot, a first-quarter three over a very outstretched Cardoso, a few in close with defenders all over her—were impressive.
