This will be the last time Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese face off in a collegiate matchup when Iowa takes on LSU in hopes of earning a ticket to the 2024 Final Four.
One of the most anticipated games in college basketball history, the Elite Eight clash between the Hawkeyes and Tigers this year is a rematch of last year’s national championship game. Furthermore, despite their particular rivalry taking centre stage in the championship game, Clark and Reese have a longer history of rivalry.
The regional final on Monday will be Clark and Reese’s seventh meeting in the head-to-head match. Reese played two years at Iowa’s Big Ten conference rival Maryland before to joining LSU.
Three games against Clark’s Hawkeyes were set up by Reese’s Big Ten career, one of which took place in the postseason.
Here’s a recap of how each of the first four games went before their final clash.
