Poor shooting, costly turnovers | LSU women's basketball falls to Caitlin Clark, Iowa in Elite Eight

Locked On LSU - Daily Podcast On LSU Tigers Football & Basketball

LSU women's basketball team's season will end in Albany as the Tigers fall to Caitlin Clark and the Iowa Hawkeyes 94-87 in the Elite Eight. The Tigers had a great first half, recovering after a slow start to lead Iowa 31-26 coming out of the first quarter and tied at 45 going into the half. However, a near dormant third quarter and Iowa's three-point shooting was too much to overcome in the tournament loss. Clark was unstoppable offensively Monday night, scoring 41 points and nine three-point shots along with seven rebounds, twelve assists, two steals and a block. LSU PG Hailey Van Lith struggled to defend her all night long and Tigers head coach Kim Mulkey didn't make adjustments until Iowa already had the game put away.

LSU attempted a season-high 24 three-point shots Monday night but only made eight of them. In contrast, Iowa made thirteen of their 31 attempts from beyond the arc. Although LSU fought hard until the last second and Reese's relentless defensive efforts in the paint kept the Tigers competitive, costly turnovers and scoring droughts will end the Tigers run and squander their hopes at back-to-back national championships.
