In a highly-anticipated matchup, Iowa's Caitlin Clark and LSU's Angel Reese will go head-to-head on Monday night for a chance to secure a spot in the Final Four of the women's basketball tournament. This year's showdown comes earlier in the tournament compared to last year's national championship face-off between the two stars, which was won by LSU.

Clark, who is in her record-breaking senior year, has set her sights on the title ever since that defeat. A loss against LSU would mark the end of her collegiate career before she enters the WNBA draft. The stakes couldn't be higher as both players strive to lead their teams to victory.

The winner of this crucial clash will move on to face either the USC Trojans or the Connecticut Huskies. This game is scheduled to start at 9 p.m. ET on Monday. The Huskies, seeded third, are slightly favored to claim the last spot in the Final Four, with Action Network placing them as three-point favorites over the top-seeded USC team.

Sunday's matchups have already determined two of the four semifinalists. The undefeated South Carolina Gamecocks, seeded first, and the North Carolina State Wolfpack, seeded third, both emerged victorious, securing their spots in the semifinal round. They will face off on Friday at the Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse in Cleveland.

The women's NCAA championship game is set to take place at 7 p.m. on Sunday, also at the Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse. The title game will feature the winners of each Final Four matchup, promising an exciting culmination to the tournament.

Basketball fans eagerly await Monday's clash between Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese, as they battle for a coveted spot in the Final Four. This matchup, coupled with the upcoming semifinals and championship game, ensures an action-packed and thrilling conclusion to the women's basketball tournament.
