During Sunday’s 2023 women’s NCAA tournament championship, it wasn’t Iowa women’s basketball superstar Caitlin Clark that was grabbing the most attention.

LSU senior guard Jasmine Carson caught fire for the Tigers coming off the bench during the title game’s first half, scoring 21 points and not missing a single shot.

She was indeed perfect from the arc and in the paint, leading LSU to a surprising 59-42 lead at halftime over Iowa.

Carson transferred to LSU from West Virginia this season and has averaged 8.4 points a game this season for the Tigers.

She also banked an incredible 3-pointer at the buzzer before the half ended to give LSU that commanding margin.

Per our Mitchell Northam, Carson’s stellar first half is building to perhaps the best game of her collegiate career.

Iowa senior Kate Martin also didn’t miss a shot during the game’s first half, scoring seven points for the Hawkeyes.

Although, all eyes were on Carson for her fantastic first half for LSU.
