Another sensational performance from Caitlin Clark and the Hawkeyes has Iowa (30-6, 15-3 Big Ten) officially in the Final Four of the 2023 NCAA Tournament in Dallas.
Clark poured in 41 points, including 8-of-14 3-pointers to register the tournament’s first-ever 40-point triple-double. The 6-foot guard from West Des Moines dished out 12 assists and grabbed 10 rebounds to power Iowa past Louisville, 97-83, and into the program’s second all-time Final Four berth.
McKenna Warnock and Gabbie Marshall were both fabulous as well, scoring 17 and 14 points, respectively. That duo knocked down six 3-pointers combined to help the Hawks fly past the Cards.
Now, Iowa gets its chance against the undefeated, defending national champion South Carolina Gamecocks (36-0, 16-0 SEC).
The Hawkeyes touched down in Dallas last night and Iowa head women’s basketball coach Lisa Bluder shared her first comments on the matchup with South Carolina in a media session today.
