South Carolina crowned national champions after beating Caitlin Clark’s Iowa in NCAA title game

South Carolina has rained on Caitlin Clark’s parade, with the Iowa superstar failing to end her college career on a high with a NCAA championship win ahead of the WNBA Draft later this month, as the Gamecocks are crowned as this year’s national champs.

Guards Tessa Johnson, Kamilla Cardoso, and Te-Hina Paopao combined for 46 points in Sunday’s win at Rocket Morgage FieldHouse – home to the NBA’s Cleveland Cavs – while Clark had a 30-piece of her own. 

Iowa came out firing in the first quarter, outscoring their opponents 27-20, however, South Carolina made up for the end-of-quarter, 7-point differential by scoring 29 in the second, while the Hawkeyes only put up 19.
