How to Watch as #2 Iowa Hawkeyes Take on #3 LSU for the National Championship

You can watch every women’s March Madness game with Sling TV.

The Iowa Hawkeyes have shocked the world. They did what nobody else has been able to do in more than a year: take down South Carolina and their star-studded lineup. Not only did they pull off one of the biggest upsets in tournament history, but they advanced to the NCAA Tournament finals for the first time in program history.

Now, the Hawkeyes are set to square off with the LSU Tigers for a national championship.

I’m going to type that again. S-l-o-w-e-r.

Iowa.

National. Championship.

This is real life. You are not dreaming. April Fool’s Day was yesterday. The Hawkeyes are playing for a national title in a sport not named wrestling and the world is watching.

Not only are they watching, they are cheering for Caitlin Clark and the Hawkeyes. And Vegas thinks Iowa can get it done. After opening as 1.5-point favorites over the Tigers on DraftKings Sportsbook, Iowa has moved to a 3.5-point favorite as of Sunday morning.

After all, the Hawkeyes did just slay Goliath. And a slaying it was. Lisa Bluder and staff put together a remarkable game plan that left South Carolina shocked, dismayed and watching from home on Sunday. Despite being totally outmatched physically in the post and thoroughly destroyed on the glass, Iowa made a mess of the lane causing congestion and confusion en route to their first ever Final Four win.

Caitlin Clark, of course, was Caitlin Clark. She put up a remarkable 41 points. For a second straight game. She sliced through the normally suffocating Gamecock defense, dished to Monika Czinano, who was as steady as ever despite the towering posts of Boston and Cardosa.

It. Was. Incredible.

But the job is not done. As Clark was quick to say, the Hawkeyes didn’t come just to get to the national title game. They came to win it.

Now they have the chance to do just that as they face off with the LSU Tigers, who themselves pulled off an upset of sorts (LSU was favored over Virginia Tech, but was of course a lower seed) on Friday night. The Tigers enter the day at 33-2 overall with one of their two losses to the aforementioned South Carolina Gamecocks.
