Wow, were basketball fans ever treated to a spectacle on Monday evening.
No. 1 seeded Iowa took down the reigning champion No. 3 LSU 94-87 to avenge their 2023 loss in the Final, but the real story was the matchup between two of the sport's greatest in Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese.
The on-court rivals lived up to all the hype as Clark put down 41 points and Reese 17 before fouling out of the tense game.
With Clark headed to the WNBA — likely to the Indiana Fever, who hold the first-overall pick in this year's draft — Monday was the last time the two would meet on the March Madness stage, but the two made it memorable, to say the least.
If fans weren't treated to enough action between Iowa and LSU, the night caps off with Paige Bueckers and UConn squaring up against JuJu Watkins and USC. What a night for women's basketball.
Here are some of the best reactions from around the basketball world.
