As 13,888 fans streamed into MVP Arena in Albany, N.Y. on Monday to watch the most anticipated matchup of this year’s NCAA women’s basketball tournament – Iowa vs. LSU – there was one common creed that bonded them together: a passion for women’s basketball.

Reese, a towering 6-foot-3 forward, famously taunted Clark at the end of the championship game in 2023, pointing at her ring finger as her team was on the verge of beating Iowa. As anticipation for the matchup grew, hundreds of fans were hanging over the barrier on the edge of the floor, waiting for Clark and the Hawkeyes to make their first appearance on the court.

At the time, the women weren’t even allowed to use the trademarked March Madness branding. That set off a chain of events in which the women demanded more equality and, in turn, more respect, from the NCAA. The noise that erupted from the crowd for each of Clark’s nine three-pointers in Iowa’s 94-87 win over LSU was deafening. And there was another moment which drew an equal amount of excitement.
