The 2023-24 women’s college basketball season isn’t even a week old, but between standout individual performances, major nonconference matchups and some all-around stellar play, the past four days have been the perfect teaser for what’s to come on the road to Cleveland in April.
The most thrilling day featured a pair of ranked matchups on Thursday: No. 18 Florida State upset No. 11 Tennessee in a 92-91 win in Tallahassee. Then, in a battle of two 2023 Final Four teams, No. 3 Iowa took down No. 8 Virginia Tech 80-76 in the Ally Tipoff, which featured a neutral-site crowd of nearly 16,000 in Charlotte, North Carolina.
The point guard duel between Caitlin Clark and the Hokies’ Georgia Amoore was exceptional, with Clark putting together a 44-point, eight-rebound and six-assist outing, while the Amoore finished with a team-high 31 points on 7-for-14 shooting from the 3-point arc.
So what have we learned this season and what are we looking forward to Sunday in the women’s tripleheader…
