LSU’s title defense came to an end in the Elite 8, as the Tigers were eliminated by the very same team that they beat last year to claim last year’s championship.
Behind Caitlin Clark’s 41 points and nine three-pointers, Iowa knocked LSU out 94-87 in one of the most highly anticipated college basketball games in recent memory. Clark also added 12 assists and LSU just had no answer for her.
The Tigers and Hawkeyes were tied at 45 at halftime, but a disaster of a third quarter sunk LSU. The Tigers shot an appalling 5-26 in the third quarter.
