Iowa-South Carolina free live stream (4/7): How to watch women’s NCAA national championship online
Caitlin Clark and Iowa face undefeated No. 1 seeded South Carolina for the women’s NCAA Tournament national championship on Sunday, April 7. The game will be live streamed on Sling (half off first month), DirecTV Stream (free trial) and fuboTV (free trial and $20 off first month).
Dawn Staley knows Sunday’s national championship game is a big moment for women’s basketball.
South Carolina is looking to finish a perfect season with the program’s third NCAA title. Standing in the way of Staley and the Gamecocks is a generational player in Caitlin Clark and an Iowa team looking for the school’s first women’s national championship.
Clark has done nearly everything she can at Iowa — except win a national championship. She’s the NCAA Division I career scoring leader, holds numerous other records and has powered Iowa into the title game in two straight years.
All that’s left is one more victory over the team that Iowa eliminated in the national semifinals last season.
Clark is coming off one of her toughest games of the season. She had to work for all 21 of her points in a 71-69 victory over UConn on Friday night.
South Carolina is looking to become the 10th team to complete a perfect season in NCAA Division I women’s basketball history.
