In the Final Four matchup, Caitlin Clark struggled in the first half against UConn, scoring only 6 points without any 3-pointers. UConn's head coach, Geno Auriemma, explained that he did not recruit Clark to her "dream school" UConn, saying if she had truly wanted to come, she should have reached out to him. Clark eventually chose to play for Iowa, with UConn settling for top-ranked player Paige Bueckers.
