One of the biggest attractions is Caitlin Clark, known as "Curry Girl" from the University of Iowa. He is averaging more than 30 points per game this season and is the top pick in this year's WNBA Draft in 2024. Therefore, the Clark effect also directly affected the ratings of this final. The finals between the University of South Carolina and the University of Iowa skyrocketed ticket prices and set a record for the highest number of tickets in the history of the NCAA women's basketball team. It can be seen that the excitement of this game will be out of control.
Entering the game, we did see a wonderful matchup between these two teams, with Caitlin Clarke playing the full 40 minutes, shooting 10-of-28, 5-of-13 three-pointers, and 5-of-6 free throws, scoring a game-high 30 points. Caitlin Clarke can really fire indefinitely inside and outside. And with a very high efficiency, Caitlyn is not only able to break through, can shoot ultra-long threes, but is also very effective in organizing the offense. In this game, Caitlin contributed 30 points, in addition to 8 rebounds and 5 assists.
But unfortunately, their opponent, the University of South Carolina, is even more skilled, and the 38-0 record is indeed worthy of the name. The University of South Carolina played as a team, especially in rebounding, with 51 rebounds compared to 29 by Clark's University of Iowa. In terms of shooting percentage, the University of Iowa team's shooting rate was only 39.7%, which also made the lone Clark unable to recover the defeat, Nankai University defeated the University of Iowa 87-75 to successfully reach the top and won the third championship in team history.
Clark is perhaps the most regrettable player of the year, having failed to win a championship in four years of college. But regardless, Clark's performance will make her one of the hottest draft picks in the WNBA this year. The head coach of the University of South Carolina was convinced by Clark, who directly said in the post-game interview that Clark is one of the best players in the history of the NCAA. This sentence came out of the mouth of the opponent's head coach, and it was enough to prove Clark's crazy performance. Next, Clark is aiming to make a move into the WNBA and is expected to be the top pick.
At the same time, Clark is likely to enter the U.S. national team in the future and compete in international competitions such as the Olympics and the World Cup.
