Now, the two star-studded squads will clash in the final game. These are two fast-paced, high-powered offenses. According to Her Hoop Stats, per 100 possessions the Hawkeyes and Tigers average over 110 points ranking second and fourth respectively. Both teams average over 80 points (Iowa 87.1, LSU 81.8) and shot over 45% from the field. There will be a lot of offense, but the Tigers have a significant defensive advantage holding opponents to roughly 14 points less than Iowa, but that didn't stop Clark and company against the nation's best defense in the semifinals.

No matter who wins, it'll be the first basketball, men's or women's, national champion in school history.

The championship also marks the first title game without a one-seeded team competing. The last time was in 2011 when No. 2 Texas A&M triumphed. That was also the last time a non-No. 1 seed took home the trophy; the most recent No. 3 seed to win was North Carolina in 1994.
