The best team in the country against the best player in the country.
That's the championship game matchup in the 2024 womenโs NCAA Tournament as the undefeated No. 1 overall-seeded South Carolina Gamecocks will meet Caitlin Clark and the No. 1 Iowa Hawkeyes.
These two programs met in last yearโs Final Four under similar circumstances. The then-unbeaten Gamecocks had their perfect season ended by Clark and Co. in the national semifinals. Now, South Carolina is looking to avenge that loss and complete what would be a historic perfect season for a second national title in three years.
The Hawkeyes, meanwhile, are in the national championship for a second straight year after falling to LSU in the 2023 title game. This time around, Clark is trying to deliver Iowa its first championship in what will be the final game of her legendary college career.
So will South Carolina achieve perfection, or will Clark go out on a championship-winning note? Hereโs what to know ahead of the epic title game clash:
