LSU's Angel Reese and Iowa' Caitlin Clark to face each other in Elite 8 showdown

With both LSU and Iowa women's teams making it past their Sweet 16 clashes, fans are now eagerly waiting for the Caitlin Clark vs. Angel Reese rematch. This upcoming Elite 8 game in the women's NCAA tournament has also piqued the interest of former NFL star turned analyst Emmanuel Acho.

He listed the Chiefs vs 49ers Super Bowl game as the No.1 event, followed by the 2024 Paris Olympics as the second and the upcoming LSU vs Iowa women's basketball Elite 8 showdown took the third spot in Acho's list.

Both LSU and Iowa triumphed in their respective Sweet 16 games as they took a step forward in their hopes of winning a national championship.

Defending champions, the Tigers secured a 78-69 victory over the UCLA Bruins in a nail-biting game at the MVP Arena.

LSU guard Flau'jae Johnson proved to be the deciding factor in the game, rallying her team to glory and scoring 24 points along with 12 rebounds and one assist.
