South Carolina-Iowa NCAA Women’s Final Four live stream (3/31): How to watch online, TV, time
South Carolina and Iowa will meet Friday, March 31, in one of the most highly anticipated Final Four matchups in NCAA women’s basketball history. The game will be live streamed on fuboTV (free trial).
Dawn Staley’s undefeated South Carolina team will face Iowa and dynamic guard Caitlin Clark.
Staley and the Gamecocks are looking to become the 10th team to go through a season unbeaten and the first to repeat as champions since UConn won four in a row from 2013-16.
The Gamecocks (36-0) have the best defense in the country, which is anchored by Aliyah Boston, and they will face a stiff test against the high-powered offense led by Clark, named The Associated Press Player of the Year, when they play Friday night.
Despite the buzz, Staley said her team is focusing on the task at hand.
Clark has put on quite a show since coming to Iowa (30-6). She led the nation in scoring twice and last weekend had a game for the ages, recording the first 40-point triple-double in NCAA history to lead the Hawkeyes to their first Final Four in 30 years.
This national semifinal has everything that women’s basketball could hope for, with the stars on the court and a team trying to secure its place in history — something that’s missing at the men’s Final Four this season.
When is South Carolina-Iowa?
South Carolina and Iowa play in the NCAA women’s tournament’s Final Four at 8 p.m. (9 p.m. ET) on Friday, March 31.
