Caitlin Clark vs Angel Reese Has WNBA Star Lexie Brown Making Predictions About Elite 8 Matchup

With the NCAA’s March March Madness well underway at the moment, Caitlin Clark’s Iowa Hawkeyes are now winding up to face Angel Reese’s LSU Tigers. With both these sides being considered among the favorites to win it all this time around, it is no wonder that fans are unable to stop buzzing about this Elite 8 matchup. Right alongside them is WNBA superstar Lexie Brown, who just couldn’t help but dish out a very interesting prediction ahead of the contest. She said the following on the matter on X[Formerly Twitter].

“Iowa/LSU will be the most watched NCAA game ever. mark my words.”

While Brown did not give her two cents on who might come out on top, she predicted a matchup between Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark is bound to draw the most media coverage in NCAA history.

Clark and Reese famously met in the 2023 NCAA Finals game where the LSU Tigers took home the title along with Angel Reese being awarded MVP. At the time, this contest garnered quite a bit of attention, not only due to the high level of play but also due to Reese’s ill-reputed ‘ring-point’ celebration. 

Following this loss, Caitlin Clark has elevated her game by several notches this season. She surpassed the great ‘Pistol Pete’ (Pete Maravich) for most points by a player in a single season in NCAA history, while also leading the Hawkeyes to the number one seed this year. It is no wonder countless fans believe this may be the year Clark finally wins it all.

Both teams will be fighting for a place in the Final Four. With this being one of the most anticipated matchups in recent history, one fan even went so far as to draw comparisons to the biggest rivalries in sports history.

“Iowa vs LSU rematch gonna be the equivalent of: 

Jack Johnson vs Jim Jeffries

Rocky vs Apollo in Rocky 2

Magic vs Bird 2 

Stipe vs Ngannou 2

McNair vs Manning  in the AFC South

Serena vs Henin 

Pinky vs Kelly Divine  

The Rock vs Steve Austin #WM18 

#Elite8 

#MarchMaddness”

The LSU Tigers recently pulled off an upset over the second-seeded UCLA Bruins in their last matchup to qualify for the Elite 8. So, to see if Angel Reese and the rest of the squad can pull off another upset over the number one seed is another reason Lexie Brown’s prediction may just come true. 

But, will Caitlin Clark go down without redeeming herself after last year’s loss in the Finals? Tune in to see who will come out on top.
