Women's March G.O.A.T.-ness ended with a TIE!
Height: 6'0″
Position: Guard
Clark became more and more impressive as the tournament went on. Her iconic Final Four game, scoring more than half of Iowa's points and beating the undefeated South Carolina with 41 points was the cherry on top to her insane career. After this tournament, Clark became the first player to have back-to-back 40 point games, scored over 1,000 points in one season, set a tournament scoring record with 191 points, and set a NCAA championship game record by scoring 8 3-pointers. She also has a huge social media presence with 526k followers and NIL deals with brands such as Buick, Bose, Nike, and Hy-Vee. Despite Iowa's loss in the championship, Clark has become a champion in 2aDays hearts by being voted the G.O.A.T of the tournament!
Zia Cooke: South Carolina
Height: 5'9″
Position: Guard
Cooke averaged 15.4 points per game this season and was a huge force in South Carolina's dominant run in the NCAA tournament. The Gamecocks were undefeated through their season and until the Final Four of March Madness. Cooke has quite the social media presence as well, with 248k Instagram followers and countless NIL deals with brands like Dunkin' Donuts, Slate Milk, H&R Block, Beats by Dre, Campbell's Soup, and Essentia Water. Her personality shines through her Instagram where you can see her amazing fashion style and her recent interview with her teammate Aliyah Boston on the Players Tribune! Even though South Carolina did not make it past the Final Four, Cooke is our first ever March G.O.A.T-ness winner, which might be even more impressive than an NCAA championship. 😉
