Today's Final Four clash between No.1 Iowa and No.3 UConn is being billed as the Caitlin Clark vs Paige Bueckers show. It stands to be the tie of the tournament so far, and with Clark set for this year's WNBA Draft, it could also end up being her final ever college game. Iowa are marginal favorites according to DraftKings ahead of tip-off, but these teams are extremely closely matched. You don't want to miss this.

Read on and we'll show you how to watch Iowa vs UConn from anywhere with a VPN, and potentially for FREE.

Whereas Bueckers, Nika Muhl and Aaliyah Edwards top the Huskies' respective scoring, assists and rebounding charts, Clark is doing it all for the Hawkeyes. The 22-year-old guard has broken near-enough every college basketball record going, to the extent that the stats just don't do her justice anymore. 

She's quite simply the greatest college basketball player of all time, one who raises the bar higher each and every time she steps out onto the court, the likes of whom we may never see again. 

But elite sport has little time for sentimentality, and being the best individual does not guarantee the women's March Madness title. If anything, Iowa's victory over USC was a Clark-inspired bailout that was far too close for comfort, and suffering season-ending injuries to six players seems to have galvanized UConn. Their defense is rock-solid too. 

Read on as we explain how to watch Iowa vs UConn live streams from anywhere.
