The NCAA women's tournament is set to give us a rematch for the ages, as Caitlin Clark's Iowa will clash once again with Angel Reese's LSU, this time in the Elite Eight. Last year saw the only clash between the two schools, with the Lady Tigers prevailing to get crowned as national champions.
The encounter brought the now infamous ring taunt by Angel Reese when the LSU star waved her ring finger in front of Caitlin Clark towards the end of the game. This Elite Eight rematch brings the opportunity for revenge, as Clark comes in as the indisputably best women's basketball college player.
