The Huskies had Clark on lockdown. It didn’t matter. Hannah Stuelke, Kate Martin, Gabbie Marshall and the Hawkeyes introduced themselves to the world Friday.

CLEVELAND – The Iowa Hawkeyes beat the UConn Huskies in the Final Four on Friday night to advance to the National Championship game. They’ll face the South Carolina Gamecocks, the team they beat in the Final Four last season before losing to LSU in the National Championship. 
But the most talked about event in the game came at the very end. Referees whistled UConn forward Aaliyah Edwards for an illegal screen with less than five seconds left on the clock. At that point, the Huskies trailed by one point and had a chance to win the game on the final possession.

CLEVELAND — Iowa head coach Lisa Bluder was walking through the tunnels of Rocket Mortgage Field House with a smile on her face.

The Hawkeyes will now face South Carolina in the national championship game on Sunday.

CLEVELAND – It wasn’t the Caitlin Clark Show that everyone expected in the Final Four, but the Iowa Hawkeyes managed to beat the UConn Huskies to advance to the National Championship for the second-straight season. 
However, the game might be most remembered for a controversial late-game call that all but sealed the victory for Iowa. 
Leading by one point with under 20 seconds left, Clark drove into the lane but instead of trying to score, she passed the ball to teammate Hannah Stuelke, who led the Hawkeyes with 23 points.

Even on an off night, Caitlin Clark made the smartest play of the game to clinch Iowa’s Final Four win over UConn.
Iowa superstar Caitlin Clark did not have her finest game against UConn in the 2024 women’s Final Four. The Huskies face-guarded Clark with a long and rangey defender in Nika Mühl throughout the night, and it produced her lowest scoring performance all season.
Clark still finished with 21 points despite a rough night. She also made the smartest play of the game to ice the win and send Iowa to the national championship game for the second year in a row.

A highly controversial moving screen call decided an incredible Iowa-UConn game in the women’s Final Four.
The Iowa Hawkeyes and UConn Huskies played one of the most anticipated women’s college basketball games in the history of the sport in the Final Four on Friday night in Cleveland. The two teams played what could charity be described as a rock fight — a physical, low scoring game that saw superstars Caitlin Clark and Paige Bueckers fail to find their best rhythm.

Clark and the Hawkeyes are headed to the national championship game against unbeaten South Carolin after surviving a frantic ending sequence vs. the Huskies.

Stefon Diggs’ move to the Houston Texans from the Buffalo Bills is a fresh start for him in more ways than one. 
The wide receiver finished his final season in Buffalo with 107 receptions for 1183 yards and eight touchdowns. Despite a respectable year, reports have emerged that suggested the relationship between Diggs and Bills quarterback Josh Allen was rather rocky. By all accounts, it seemed like a split between Diggs and Buffalo was the best move for both sides.
