LSU will be playing for all the marbles on Sunday afternoon.

Thanks to a Final Four win over Virginia Tech, the No. 3-seeded Tigers women’s basketball team is playing in its first-ever national championship game and will take on the Iowa Hawkeyes and superstar Caitlin Clark, which upset No. 1 overall seed, undefeated South Carolina in their Final Four contest.

Iowa hasn’t reached the championship game before either, so we will have a new champion no matter what. A

In front of a national audience, LSU will hope to capture a national title in coach Kim Mulkey’s second season. With a double-double, Angel Reese would also set the NCAA single-season record.

Here’s everything you know heading into the final game of the 2023 NCAA Women’s Basketball Tournament, which tips off at 2:30 p.m. CT in Dallas.

Prediction

LSU has been on a pretty special run in this tournament, but now it runs into a team that has arguably been even hotter. Clark is the best player in the country and a bona fide superstar, and I expect her to get her own in this game. Still, I think Reese ultimately proves to be a game-changer in this one with her play down low as the Tigers capture their first national title.

Prediction: LSU 75, Iowa 74
