The excitement for this year’s March Madness has been undeniable, but it’s not just the men’s tournament stealing the spotlight as many stars on the women’s side which include Caitlin Clark have gotten most of the attention, and for good reason.
The 2024 NCAA Women’s Tournament was down to the Elite Eight, but all eyes were on one matchup between Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese’s teams on Monday night. This was the marquee matchup that pitted the two teams from last year’s National Championship game.
LSU had no answers for Caitlin Clark in Monday’s 94-87 Iowa win. Clark finished Monday’s game with 41 points. She went 13-of-29 from the field and 9-of-20 from 3-point range. She also made 6-of-7 attempts from the free-throw line.
As soon as the Hawkeyes punched their ticket, fans began to look up tickets for their Final Four game, which will be played in Cleveland.
The big matchup will be Caitlin Clark of the Iowa Hawkeyes vs. Paige Bueckers of the Uconn Huskies.
Darren Rovell quickly noted that prices start at $692 for seats inside Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse. Before we had a matchup set, ticket prices began at $348 on Friday.

The Caitlin Clark phenomenon is sweeping the nation as fans are making it known they will do anything to watch her in person and it’s making money for everybody that is involved.
