LiqitrainingMany people are excited to watch Iowa and LSU play again.
The Iowa Hawkeyes, who recently won the Big Ten Tournament, will have a difficult path to the NCAA Women’s Tournament Final Four. The Hawkeyes face a difficult road ahead, starting with a potentially difficult Sweet 16 matchup against No. 4 seed Kansas State and a potential Elite Eight matchup against either No. 2 UCLA or No. 3 LSU.
Jason McIntyre, a Fox Sports analyst, blasted the Selection Committee for making what he called a “horrible” bracketing error.
“I can’t believe the clueless women’s committee made LSU a 3 seed and then put them in Caitlin Clark’s bracket??? Horrible job. Insanely dumb. If Caitlin Clark loses before the F4, replace the entire committee,” he wrote.
“Yes, give Caitlin Clark the Duke treatment. She’s actually bigger than Duke was in their prime given what she does for interest. If she goes down in the Elite 8, the Final 4 – which will still have great talent – because WAY less interesting.”
Fans awaiting to see a rematch
Although many people are excited to watch Iowa and LSU again, it was anticipated that the match would take place later in the tournament, in the Final Four. Next weekend is when the NCAA Women’s Tournament is supposed to start.
With an average audience of 9.9 million, the Iowa Hawkeyes vs. LSU Tigers 2023 NCAA championship game surpassed attendance records. With their outstanding performances and on-court rivalry—including Reese’s iconic gesture toward Clark—Clark and Reese helped draw a sizable audience.
Reese and the Tigers defeated Clark and the Hawkeyes 102-85 in the championship game to win the championship trophy.
