This year’s March Madness has received its final four participants for the next stage of the women’s NCAA tournament. South Carolina and NC State had already claimed their position in the ‘Final Four’ stage. And now, Iowa Hawkeyes and UConn Huskies, too, have now advanced to the next round. The guards of both teams, Caitlin Clark and Paige Bueckers respectively, set the court on fire with their contributions on the night. The two matchups and the performances delivered seem to have left Miami Heat icon Dwyane Wade in awe of the women’s teams.

“Women’s March Madness games 🔥🔥,” Wade posted on X following a great Tuesday night in Women’s College Basketball.

It is worth mentioning that Caitlin displayed one-sided domination against the LSU Tigers with 41 points, 12 assists, and 7 rebounds in the game. Meanwhile, Bueckers emerged as a star performer against the USC Trojans. She led the scorecard with 28 points, 6 assists, and 10 rebounds in the game.

However, the most differentiating factor for the Hawkeyes will be the presence of Caitlin Stark on their roster. The 22-year-old is arguably the best player in college basketball at the moment. And she is also one of the most in-demand players right now. She did not receive a $5 million offer for the Big3 league for nothing.

In fact, some even consider that Caitlin is the one who carries the hope of WNBA’s revival. So, in order for the Huskies to win, they will have to come up with a dedicated strategy against Caitlin.
