Iowa - LSU in a rematch of last year’s championship. One of them is going home before the final 4.
UConn - USC. Bueckers is really playing lights out. USC is 1 seed, with freshman phenom JuJu Watkins.
These are championship game level matchups happening in the elite 8!

USC is 1 seed, with freshman phenom JuJu Watkins. These are championship game level matchups happening in the elite 8! Iowa-LSU has a UNLV-Duke vibe from the early 1990s. Duke won the second game. I think Iowa wins this game. UConn beats USC. Final will be So. Carolina vs. Iowa.

Frankly, I wish Iowa and LSU could both make the final 4.

I don't watch much women's basketball - but out of curiosity, are there are always this many kicked balls?
It seems to happen once very minute or so since I started watching.

It's weird to me that Iowa seems to be the team trying to extend the game with a big lead.

Enjoyed both games.
Bueckers - Clark is going to be an interesting matchup, and I think it’s far closer as far as who is the better player than has been portrayed. Clark’s shooting is absurd, and is a great passer but as all around players they are very close IMO. Bueckers does everything well and rarely makes a mistake. Glad to see her get healthy and playing at the top of her game.
Should be a great matchup and assuming South Carolina advances, the final should be fascinating too.

Watching women’s basketball really in depth it’s easy to dissect. The Syracuse women gave UConn their toughest game. If Syracuse played them on neutral court they would have had a chance. LSU was the 3rd best team in this tournament. Iowa-So. Carolina are the top 2. UConn beat USC because their coaching staff prepared them Better than USC’s. So. Carolina will beat Nc State by 8-10. UConn can beat Iowa if they slow the game down and milk clock. Iowa wants to play appealing basketball to watch and a lot of possessions. I think Iowa wins by 4-6 and UConn can win if they get the tempo slower. I think So. Carolina-Iowa favors So. Carolina but gets away with physical basketball. They remind me of Big East Pitt they just out physical their opponents.

So glad to see Mulkey and Reese sent packing. Reese really irks the “STAND for the national Anthem” crowd that attacks everything they don’t like as “woke”, so I love her. Hope she causes some of them to have a heart attack. That coach is a dork though.

Disgusting Ref show to decide a Final four game. Just like the Triche charge in 2013.
Ref made a terrible call but it screwed UConn so okay.
Iowa will lose by double digits to South Carolina. UConn shut down Clark with athleticism and face guarding. LSU stupidly let that one little guard handle Clark. She needs to be face guarded. Unless Iowa role players shoot lights out this is a So. Carolina blowout.
