Key Stats
Iowa Hawkeyes
The Iowa Hawkeyes are a dominant offensive team led by the most dominant scorer in NCAA history. They average 91.9 points per game, which leads all teams in the nation by a full six points. Amid her record-shattering season, Caitlin Clark led the entire nation with 32.0 points per game, 9.0 assists, and 5.2 three-pointers made per game. She’s kept up that pace in the tourney and is averaging 32.3 points, 10 assists, and 7.3 rebounds in Iowa’s run to the Final Four.
UConn Huskies
UConn is a lock-down defensive team. They allowed just 56.8 points per game this season and have held opposing shooters to a 35.4% field goal percentage, good for seventh in the nation. Paige Bueckers is at the center of it all, not only leading the team with 2.3 steals and 1.4 blocks per game but also pacing the team in scoring at 22 points per game.
Game Prediction
This game will come down to whether UConn can match Iowa on offense. The Huskies were able to overcome Juju Watkins’ 29-point game and win against USC in the Elite Eight thanks to Paige Bueckers’ 28-point explosion of her own. But with Caitlin Clark’s unique ability to go supernova, that’ll be an even heavier task. I think this will be a high-scoring, back-and-forth matchup so the over feels like a lock. And until someone can stop Clark on this unforgettable run, we have to ride with the Iowa Hawkeyes.
Final Pick
Iowa Hawkeyes -2.5 (-110) and Over 162 (-110)
