The Monday night pair of Elite Eight games in the Women’s NCAA Tournament is the stuff legends are made of. Iowa’s Caitlin Clark faces LSU’s Angel Reese in one regional final. Then USC and JuJu Watkins face UConn and Paige Bueckers in the second regional final. Two games, four teams, four superstars on the court. It’s a box-office doubleheader, a pair of genuine blockbuster matchups before the Final Four.
It is only fitting that before this special night, Caitlin Clark has included JuJu Watkins on her list of players she would pay to watch.
“At Iowa’s press conference to preview its Sweet 16 date versus Colorado, Clark was asked which fellow women’s college basketball players she would pay to go see.
“’There would be so many I would pay to go see. I would say JuJu (Watkins) right now probably. That is who I would pay and go see. But also Hannah Hidalgo at Notre Dame. I think she’s been tremendous. I think Hannah has kind of flown under the radar a little bit.'”
Iowa plays LSU at 4 p.m. Pacific time on Monday, followed by USC-UConn at 6. Both games are on ESPN. Be sure to follow Hawkeyes Wire and LSU Tigers Wire for coverage of Iowa-LSU.
