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.

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. \n\nHere are some readings we gathered ahead of the 3:30 p.m. ET tipoff: \n\n'She shines in the brightest lights': Caitlin Clark's masterpiece leads Iowa to the NCAA championship game \u2014 NCAA.com \nCaitlin Clark's record-breaking NCAA tournament run, by the numbers \u2014 NCAA.com\nLSU\u2019s Angel Reese is a role model, whether people like it or not \u2014 Just Women's Sports\nIowa and LSU to Bring Competing Styles to College Basketball\u2019s Biggest Stage \u2014 Sports Illustrated\nAlexis Morris: LSU to punish Iowa's 'disrespectful' defense \u2014 ESPN\nKim Mulkey on Caitlin Clark: 'I couldn't take my eyes off her' \u2014 Daily Advertiser","comments":0,"created":"2023-04-02T18:06:30Z","files":[],"files-timestamp":0,"id":330666,"love":0,"meta":[],"modified":"2023-04-02T18:07:46Z","name":"[Basketball] Women's National Championship 2023: LSU vs. Iowa: Stream College","node-timestamp":"2023-04-02T18:07:46Z","parent":330577,"parents":[1,5,9,313060,330577],"path":"\/events\/ludum-dare\/52\/$330577\/basketball-womens-national-championship-2023-lsu-vs-iowa-stream-college","published":"2023-04-02T18:07:46Z","scope":"public","slug":"basketball-womens-national-championship-2023-lsu-vs-iowa-stream-college","subsubtype":"","subtype":"","type":"post","version":1028022},"node_metadata":{"n_key":"330666","n_urlkey":"404730","n_parent":"330577","n_path":"\/events\/ludum-dare\/52\/$330577\/basketball-womens-national-championship-2023-lsu-vs-iowa-stream-college","n_slug":"basketball-womens-national-champ","n_type":"post","n_subtype":"","n_subsubtype":"","n_author":"330576","n_created":"1680458790","n_modified":"1680458866","n_version":"1028022","n_status":"WAYBACK"},"source_url":"https:\/\/ldjam.com\/events\/ludum-dare\/52\/$330577\/basketball-womens-national-championship-2023-lsu-vs-iowa-stream-college","text":"2023 Women's Final Four: Scouting South Carolina, Iowa, Virginia Tech, LSU as the teams head to Dallas, Women's NCAA Tournament recap: Caitlin Clark lifts Iowa to Final Four after LSU advances, It's national championship day. 40 minutes will decide who takes home the 2023 NCAA national title \u2014 No. 2 Iowa or No. 3 LSU.
