The 2024 NCAA Division I Women’s Basketball National Championship Game will be one that defines the legacy of Caitlin Clark on some level. Either the player that might be the best in the sport to ever step foot on the floor gets that elusive national title, or she heads to the WNBA with countless statistical records and plenty of conference championships, but not the one every player wants the most.
Sunday’s matchup between the No. 1 Iowa Hawkeyes and the No. 1 South Carolina Gamecocks will be one of the most-watched basketball games of the season. And all eyes will be on Clark, whose team enters as 6.5-point underdogs to the team they beat 77-73 in last year’s national semifinal.
South Carolina has lost just one game in two years, and this should make for a classic in Cleveland.
