DALLAS — The brightest stars in women’s basketball are on the biggest stage in Texas this weekend when the 2023 women’s Final Four tips off on Friday night. Three of four Naismith Award finalists will be playing, led by the long-awaited matchup between the newly named 2023 winner, Iowa point guard Caitlin Clark, and the 2022 winner, South Carolina center Aliyah Boston.
“America gets to see two fabulous, spectacular basketball players in the same 40 minutes,” Iowa head coach Lisa Bluder said on Tuesday. “It doesn’t get a lot better than that.”
Clark earned the award over Boston, Villanova’s Maddy Siegrist and Virginia Tech’s Elizabeth Kitley on Wednesday during a packed ceremony at the Reunion Tower.
