College Hoops across the country are probably pleasantly surprised to see some fresh blood in the final four outside of your usual suspects in women\u2019s hoops like UConn and Stanford. While the South Carolina dynasty is in its current iteration and is back in the picture for the Final Four yet again, there\u2019s a first-time program, the best individual player in college hoops, and a veteran coach with a new squad all looking to crash the Gamecocks repeat party this weekend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In years past, the women\u2019s bracket has been the chalkiest bracket imaginable. While opening-round matchups for anything lower than a 4 seed are often blowouts, the growth in parody across the women\u2019s landscape is slowly starting to catch up with the men\u2019s game. Proof of the parody rang through every region in this year\u2019s women\u2019s tournament. Louisville veteran coach Jeff Walz snuck Louisville back into another elite as a five seed, and the social media sensation Cavinder sisters from the University of Miami were a whistle or two away from making the final four as a NINE seed. These types of runs are unheard of in the women\u2019s tournament\u2019s history, but with unpredictability comes entertainment. Now there are just four teams left that have a say in hoisting the trophy, with BIg 10, SEC, and ACC representation shining through.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Friday<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>#3 LSU vs #1 Virginia Tech\u00a0 &#8211; 7 pm ET<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">LSU Coach Kim Mulkey did it again and I&#8217;m sure her haters are furious. The Hall of Fame coach went to a whopping FOUR Final Fours with the Baylor Bears, notching three national championships in her time there. Then in 2021, she suddenly left her post in Waco to coach the LSU Tigers, and the critics were admittedly curious if she would ever get back to the final four again. Just two seasons later she led the Tigers to a national semifinal in Dallas and is two wins away from a fourth title. In her path in the semifinal are the Hokies who have made the women\u2019s final four for the very first time. They netted a record TWENTY three-pointers in their elite eight victory to clinch the spot, and are built on some badass perimeter shooting &#8211; now wonder they were a 1 seed on the bracket. It\u2019s a fascinating dynamic of a team that\u2019s coached by someone who knows their way around these final four games, versus a team new to the scene. My intuition tells me to lean with the experience in the moment as the moment could be too big for the Hokies.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Alex\u2019s Play: LSU<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/articles.runyourpool.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/NCAA_LSU_Utah_Basketball_23084021153739.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-74457\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog-assets.runyourpool.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/28145807\/NCAA_LSU_Utah_Basketball_23084021153739.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog-assets.runyourpool.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/28145807\/NCAA_LSU_Utah_Basketball_23084021153739-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog-assets.runyourpool.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/28145807\/NCAA_LSU_Utah_Basketball_23084021153739-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">AP Photo\/Mic Smith<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>#2 Iowa &#8211; vs #1 South Carolina &#8211; 9 pm ET<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The best team vs. the best player &#8211; what a matchup. Whenever you talk about Iowa women\u2019s basketball, you start the conversation around Caitlin Clark and you probably will for years to come. Clark is again lighting up the scoreboard for the Hawkeyes and breaking every NCAA and Big 10 scoring record along the way. The best player in the country has tallied the ridiculous mark of 900+ points and 300+ assists, which no other woman or man has done in NCAA Division 1 basketball history. She is undeniably the engine that makes Iowa run night in and night out and you can stamp her in for a minimum of 25-30 points and a handful of highlight reel plays to facilitate her teammates. As for who has the next chance to contain Clark and keep her at bay it\u2019s the best team in the land, the prohibitive favorite in the Gamecocks from South Carolina. The 2022 and 2017 champs know how to win the final four and much of the same roster from last year\u2019s team is here to do it again. While I would love to see the scenario where Clark goes off for 50+ and stuns South Carolina, I know how these games work. The Gamecocks will suffocate her with a double team on every touch and she\u2019ll be hard-pressed to score more than 25, which won\u2019t be enough for Iowa to hang in for 40 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Alex\u2019s Play: South Carolina<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Looks like we could be in for an All-SEC final on the women\u2019s side. Time will tell as the action from Dallas gets going Friday night, with the championship being played Sunday evening.
