The Iowa women’s basketball team has secured a spot in the Final Four after a hard-fought victory against LSU in the Elite Eight. Assistant coach Raina Harmon played a crucial role in devising a game plan that led to the team’s success on the court.

Harmon had regrets from last year’s national championship game when LSU’s Jasmine Carson had a standout performance. Determined to make amends, she spent a year preparing for a potential rematch with LSU, carefully studying their playing style and tendencies.

The game plan focused on running and wearing out LSU, a strategy that ultimately proved to be effective. Star player Caitlin Clark led the Hawkeyes with an impressive 41 points and 12 assists, playing the entire 40 minutes of the game.

Iowa’s conditioning and practice routines helped them maintain a high pace throughout the game, ultimately wearing down LSU and securing the victory. The win was a thrilling moment for the team and Harmon, who had been haunted by the loss to LSU for a year.

Looking ahead, Iowa is now preparing to face UConn in the national semifinal game with the opportunity to make program history. With their hard work and dedication, the team is poised to continue their impressive performance and advance in the tournament.
