2024 NCAA Women Basketball Championship
In the exciting finale of the NCAA Women’s Basketball March Madness tournament, South Carolina, led by standout player Clark, is facing off against LSU’s Angel Reese and her team. South Carolina has had an incredible season, winning all 37 games they’ve played so far without a single loss. Clark has become a superstar in her own right, setting records as the top scorer in NCAA basketball history, surpassing both male and female players.
Clark led her Hawkeyes team to a close 71-69 win. It was a tight game, with Iowa ahead by just one point, 70-69, in the final moments.
Earlier today, the University of South Carolina beat North Carolina State with a score of 78-59. This win means they’ve secured their spot in the national championship game. The championship will take place on Sunday evening at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse Arena in Cleveland, Ohio.
This year, the NCAA women’s basketball tournament has captured more attention than ever before, even overshadowing the men’s tournament. One big reason for this is Clark’s amazing performance over the past year, which got people talking about the many talented players in the tournament. Some of these stars include Angel Reese from LSU, Paige Bueckers from UConn, JuJu Watkins from USC, and Kamilla Cardoso from the University of South Carolina. Clark, who recently broke the record for the most points scored in NCAA basketball history, along with Reese and Cardoso, have announced that they plan to enter the WNBA draft in 2025.
