All eyes will be on Iowa’sCaitlin Clark and UConn’s Paige Bueckers on Friday night with bothplayers ready to step up and lead their teams in their Final Fourclash at Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse in Cleveland, Ohio.

What more than the two biggestnames in women’s college basketball today duke it out on thebiggest stage set on the nightcap at 9:30 p.m.

Unbeaten South Carolina willopen the slate of games at 7:00 p.m. against the Cinderellas of thetournament in NC State.

Clark and Bueckers go a long wayback. They were teammates in Team USA’s junior teams, winning agold medal at the FIBA U19 World Championships. Bueckers was theno.1 overall recruit by ESPN rankings out of high school whileClark ranked 4th.

This will be the final timethese two generational prospects will face each other as Clark –the projected no.1 overall pick in 2024 – has announced she willjoin this year’s draft while Bueckers – 2025’s projected no.1overall pick – has said she will return for a fifth and finalseason at UConn.
