The #1 Iowa Hawkeyes advanced to their second straight national championship appearance last night after a 71-69 nail biter over the UConn Huskies. It was a heavyweight bout that lived up to each story line put on it in the lead up to tip off. Paige Bueckers vs. Caitlin Clark. Geno Auriemma vs. Lisa Bluder. UConn’s pursuit of its thirteenth national championship appearance vs. Iowa’s quest for its second straight. With less than ten seconds to play, the Huskies with the ball, and Iowa clinging to a one point lead, it seemed like we were primed for another unforgettable ending in a tournament full of instant classics.
