Iowa vs South Carolina prediction

I’m sure the public is going to be on Iowa and the points because of Caitlin Clark and her stardom. Iowa also beat South Carolina last year in the Final Four. However, Iowa was just in tight games against LSU and UConn. Against the Huskies, the Hawkeyes got some favorable calls to advance. South Carolina is steps above in competition, and 15 of its last 19 wins have been won by double digits. I’m sure Clark is going to do what she usually does, but it’s going to take more to be the first team to knock off South Carolina. The Gamecocks are deep and elite at both ends of the floor. I’d need an extra bucket or two to truly consider Iowa. Give me South Carolina and the reasonable line, as the Gamecocks win their third title since 2017.
