Iowa vs. UConn live score, updates, highlights from 2024 Women’s Final Four game

The best of the best go head-to-head tonight. Iowa’s Caitlin Clark takes on UConn’s Paige Bueckers in the Women’s Final Four. Loser goes home, winners goes to the national title game.

This isn’t the first time the programs meet in an NCAA tournament game. They faced off in the Sweet 16 in 2021 with the Huskies taking the victory during their Final Four run. But then, Bueckers and Clark were freshmen. A lot changed since.

In the Elite Eight, the Hawkeyes defeated reigning champion LSU in a rematch of last year’s title game. It was too easy for the black and gold as Clark scored 41 for her second straight semifinals game.

Meanwhile, UConn beat No. 1 USC to head back to the Final Four after missing out last year. Bueckers combined with WNBA-bound Aaliyah Boston for 28 and 24 points, respectively.
