Playing 31 minutes, Hailey Van Lith scored just nine points and made 2-of-10, including 1-of-6 from behind the arc. In the previous rounds of March Madness, the guard scored just 7,4,7 points.

Any time the LSU guard tried to guard Caitlin Clark, a 3-point jumper ensued and Van Lith was even seen throwing her hands up, frustrated.

Someone like Clark requires more than one to stop, but it looked like LSU had left that job to Hailey Van Lith, and she struggled with little help from her teammates.

Coach Mulkey had tasked Hailey with the most important task, and the guard failed big time. Wonder what the locker room atmosphere was like.

After three years with Louisville Cardinals, Hailey transferred to LSU this season. However, the guard has struggled to replicate her previous success at Baton Rouge.

It seemed like an impossible task for the LSU guard to contain Clark who went on a rampage, scoring buckets.

Just like any other game, things got physical. But it is safe to say that everyone got out just fine.

Not just Van Lith, but the entire LSU squad was getting roasted by Caitlin, supported by Gabbie Marshall.

Caitlin Clark made nine of twenty three-pointers and finished with 41 points. It was her day and no one could stop her.

On April 5, Iowa Hawkeyes will take on the winner of the UConn Huskies-USC Trojans game for a spot in the finals.
