3 seed in the Greenville 2 Region after finishing the regular season second in the SEC, erased a nine-point fourth-quarter deficit with a 22-3 run in the national semifinal to defeat No. The Tigers’ lead ballooned to 63-42 with Reese’s free throws early in the third quarter before Iowa went on a 15-2 run that included four three pointers and a three-point play. LSU’s lead was cut from 21 to eight in a span of 2:49 in the third quarter, 65-57. Senior guard [Alexis Morris](https://lsusports.net/roster/alexis-morris/), who played for three Power 5 teams prior to transferring to LSU to play for Mulkey for the second time, also picked up a second foul with 6:36 left in the half. With 38 seconds left, LSU’s Carson made a three pointer from the top of the key to give LSU a 27-22 lead after one quarter of action. Her final three pointer was banked in at the halftime buzzer to give LSU a 59-52 lead. The LSU guard made seven-straight shots including five three pointers to tally 21 points in 12 minutes off the bench. Iowa’s Clark made consecutive three pointers to tie the game at 18-18, then 10 free throws were scored in the next three minutes as LSU led 24-22. She led five Tigers in double figures, as LSU lit up the scoreboard while shooting better than 50 percent from the field for most of the contest. Carson, who had scored 11 points in the tournament but was without a basket since the second round, made her first seven shots from the field to score 22 points and spark the Tigers before halftime. The 187 combined points was also the most in a Final Four game. Two days later, she led the flagship institution of her home state to its first NCAA Basketball Championship and the 50th team national title in LSU Athletics’ 130-year history.

LSU women's basketball coach Kim Mulkey holds up the national championship trophy after the Tigers beat Iowa 102-85 on Sunday. It is LSU's first basketball ...

After one of them, she threw her hands in the air and Mulkey mimicked it on the sidelines. She had 11 points in this NCAA Tournament before the finale. After Katari Poole hit a 3-pointer in front of the LSU bench with 1:13 remaining, Mulkey started weeping. She swatted the ball away on the floor after a foul call against a teammate. She scored 40 in the semifinals to knock out unbeaten South Carolina one game after she had the first 40-point triple-double in NCAA history in the Elite Eight. [The Associated Press national player of the year](https://apnews.com/article/march-madness-caitlin-clark-player-of-year-ed943aa5f1e86a1bb04505497bd4c9b3), couldn’t lead the Hawkeyes to their first national title despite one of the greatest individual performances in NCAA Tournament history.

LSU's Jasmine Carson scored 22 points off the bench as the third-seeded Tigers rolled to a 102-85 win over tournament darling Iowa and Caitlin Clark.

The 2023 consensus player of the year also had eight assists, and turned the ball over six times. With the win, Mulkey becomes the first coach in the women’s game to lead two schools to national championships (she won three at Baylor). She was averaging 8.4 points per game before Sunday and hadn't scored in LSU's three previous tournament victories.

Kim Mulkey's LSU Tigers used a record offensive performance to beat Caitlin Clark and Iowa 102-85 in the national championship game on Sunday, winning the ...

She scored 40 in the semifinals to knock out unbeaten South Carolina one game after she had the first 40-point triple-double in NCAA history in the Elite Eight. Mulkey has never lost in a championship game. The feisty and flamboyantly dressed Mulkey, who wore a sparkly golden tiger striped outfit, now has four titles in her career — the third most all-time behind Geno Auriemma's 11 and Pat Summitt's eight.

There was a heavy whistle presence Sunday. But ultimately, the Hawkeyes' defensive lapses had Iowa on the losing side of the national title game.

The Tigers were whistled for 18 fouls and watched Iowa go 15-for-20 at the line. The Hawkeyes were whistled for 19 fouls and watched LSU go 15-for-21 at the line. The technical came with Iowa facing a 73-64 deficit that grew to 11 after LSU hit the two free throws as a result. The underdog is a little more fun to be. Two of those were offensive, both called in a three-minute window. It arrived with a riveting third-quarter push that saw Iowa slice a 21-point deficit down to nine in barely four minutes, pouring in treys that desperately tried to ignite a large Iowa contingency. My team thought they were going to do it." "They were making some really tough shots at the end of the day. It was the push Iowa needed to make it a game again, even getting within seven on two different occasions later in the third. It’s a sour ending to an unforgettable season that altered women’s basketball beyond the imaginable. They’ll have to begrudgingly settle for a respectable second-half effort. On this day, even owning the sport’s most exhilarating player wasn’t enough to conquer this tough task.

What are you going to say now?” “Twitter can say what they want to say,” she said. “But honestly I have no idea. She’s one of the best basketball coaches of all time, and it shows. But I had a moment at the end of her game. (…) I’m looking forward to celebrating and then next season.” It was cute when Caitlin Clark did it. “Caitlin Clark is a hell of a player but I don’t take disrespect lightly,” Reese said. “And I’m happy.
