Everything that you need to know about women’s Final Four

The Gamecocks are the Girls Who Know How to Win: The Semi-Promoting Final Four of the NAIsmith Women’s Basketball Association

The Final Four games will be streamed on fuboTV. The coverage will kickstart with LSU vs. Virginia Tech with Iowa vs. South Carolina to follow.

Two of the pre-tournament favorites are set to face off, with the Iowa Hawkeyes against the defending champion and South Carolina Gamecocks.

The game will pit two stars of women’s college hoops directly against each other with the newly-crowned Naismith women’s player of the year, Caitlin Clark facing last year’s recipient and last year’s Naismith women’s defensive player of the year, Aliyah Boston.

Both players have been an inspirational force for their respective teams throughout the month of March and will be looking to lead them one step further with a Final Four win.

The Gamecocks have not shown any signs that they are vulnerable, reaching the Final Four without showing any sign of being vulnerable.

South Carolina’s march to the national championship title seemed all but assured – the defending champion and No.1 seed was on a 42-straight game win streak, spanning 389 days and dating back to last season’s national title run.

In South Carolina, the Celtics had two double-doubles, one of which was a brilliant 22-point and 10-rebound performance.

As well as their star player, the Gamecocks have been helped by Zia Cooke’s scoring throughout the tournament. The guard is shooting 40.0% from the field for the year and is averaging over 15 points per game.

They created habits in which they just get the job done, according to the Naismith Coach of the Year. They don’t ask about how long is practice, they don’t ask what drills are on the practice cards. They just say, ‘Okay, this is what we have to do, let’s get it done.’”

The Iowa Basketball Game and the Czinano-Cooke Puzzle in the Final Four: Where are we coming from? Where do we go? What are we going?

The Iowa team has scored an unbelievable 353 points in four games and will be a very difficult test for the South Carolina defense.

“We know everything kind of centers around her,” explained the NBA’s record three-point scorer. She does a great job of scoring at a very high level and also being a distributor.

Czinano is a key player for the Hawkeyes. The forward is averaging 17.2 points, shooting an incredible 67.9% from the floor and also averages 6.6 boards a game.

It is really exciting. Everyone has been discussing this game for a long time, said Boston. It is a great game for women’s basketball. There will be a lot of people in the crowd and many of them watching the game. Being in that environment is so exciting.

Clark said that people need to realize that there are many great players and great coaches in our game.

This Final Four match-up will be seen as a straight shootout between Clark and Boston, but the likes of Czinano and Cooke could prove to be decisive for their respective outfits in the clash.

The Australian Basketball Legacy of Georgia Amoore: How Great is Virginia Tech for March Madness and What can she say about the First Semifinal Four?

Virginia Tech has had a relatively straightforward route to the Final Four with wins against Chattanooga, South Dakota State, Tennessee and Ohio State – with their smallest winning margin being nine points.

Led by Georgia Amoore’s threat on offense and Elizabeth Kitley’s impact on both ends of the floor, the Hokies represent a serious threat to any challenger.

Amoore averaged 16.3 PPG on the season but has turned it up a notch for March Madness. The Aussie player has scored over twenty points in Tech’s games in the NCAA tournament, including a 29-point performance against Tennessee.

“It is so huge. The first Final Four in program history means so much to Amoore that he can’t speak right now.

The Tigers had to survive a scare against the Utah Utes in the Sweet 16, finding themselves down one with just 10 seconds on the clock before winning 66-63, but comfortably won in the Elite Eight.

The 6-7 forward has hauled in an amazing 18.25 boards per game in the tournament, including 24 against the UM in the second-round.

With a double-double in every game so far, Reese has proved to be a serious offensive threat and managed to notch 34 points and 15 rebounds in the first-round win against Hawaii.

LSU Women’s Basketball: Coach Kim Mulkey and the Tigers Elite Eight Player, Clark, Reese, Morris and Morris, the New NCAA National Champions, and a Dream Comeback

Kim Mulkey, the head coach, commented after the Tigers’ Elite Eight game “We don’t have to win a title to see how much they love us.” I think they’re going, ‘What are we doing in year two. Are you telling me that is not true?

All in all, Clark scored 41 points – a women’s Final Four record – in front of a raucous 19,000-plus fans, following up her 41-point triple-double in the Elite Eight.

The newly crowned AP Player of the Year also added eight assists and six rebounds, as well as the last 13 points for the Hawkeyes in the fourth quarter, propelling them to their first NCAA title game in program history.

Meanwhile, No. 3 seed LSU mounted an epic fourth quarter comeback to edge past No. 1 seed Virginia Tech, 79-72 and advance to its first national title game in program history, meaning that a new women’s NCAA national champion will be crowned on Sunday.

LSU guard Alexis Morris scored a game-high 27 points, and star forward Angel Reese added 24 points and 12 rebounds, including a combined 20 of LSU’s 29 points in the fourth quarter.

It is like a dream. Reese said after the game that he didn’t think he was at the Final Four. “It’s just crazy how much my life has changed in one year. I have grown on and off the court and then to be in LSU with amazing teammates and amazing coaches and I know how much that means to me. I am not sure how to feel right now.

LSU women’s head coach Kim Mulkey, a three-time national championship coach at Baylor, in 2005, 2012 and 2019, became the second coach to lead two different programs to the national championship game.

On reaching the title game, Mulkey said that he was blessed. “I came home for lots of reasons. One day, a championship banner will be hung in the PMAC. When you think you are going to do this in two years, you really aren’t.
