Clark leads Iowa back to Final Four, scoring 41 points in win over defending champ LSU

Caitlin Clark - The Canadian PressALBANY, N.Y. — Caitlin Clark made nine 3-pointers and finished with 41 points and 12 assists in a sensational performance as Iowa knocked defending national champion LSU out of the women's NCAA Tournament with a 94-87 victory on Monday night, advancing the Hawkeyes to their second straight Final Four.

Monday's highly anticipated matchup was a rematch of last year’s national championship game won by LSU, which drew a record 9.9 million viewers. Both teams wished that this meeting had come later in the tournament instead of with a Final Four berth at stake, but that was out of their control. Flau'jae Johnson scored 23 points for No. 3 seed LSU , which fell short of becoming the first repeat champion since UConn in 2016. Reese finished with 17 points and 20 rebounds before fouling out with 1:45 left.

Clark has already declared for this year's WNBA draft. Reese, too, will have a decision to make about whether to turn pro or come back with one more season.
