Caitlin Clark’s record-breaking tournament wasn’t enough to overcome LSU’s 3-point shooting on Sunday as the Tigers won their first-ever national title.
LSU is officially a women's basketball school. All head coach Kim Mulkey needed was two years and nine new players to pull off the incredible turnaround.
The No. 3 Tigers won the program's first ever national championship on Sunday, beating No. 2 Iowa 102-85 in Dallas. This comes two years removed from a 9-13 season, the year before Mulkey returned home to Louisiana.Get Philly local news, weather forecasts, sports and entertainment stories to your inbox.The graduate student came off the bench when Angel Reese found herself in foul trouble. She finished with 22 points -- all in the first half -- and went 5 of 6 from beyond the arc.
Meanwhile, Iowa's Caitlin Clark continued to add to her pedigree, making eight 3-pointers -- a national title record -- and passing Sheryl Swoops' record for most points in a single NCAA Tournament. The junior finished her six-game stretch with 191 points. This is the first national title for LSU and the fourth for head coach Kim Mulkey, who won three during her 18-year tenure at Baylor.
